Identification
Is it a hornet?
- Noticeably larger than a common wasp — queens can reach 35mm
- Yellow and chestnut-brown markings rather than bright yellow and black
- A deep, loud buzz — often heard before the nest is seen
- Active into dusk, sometimes attracted to lit windows at night
Hornets are generally less aggressive than wasps away from the nest, but will defend a nest forcefully if it's disturbed. If you suspect a hornet nest, keep your distance and give us a call.
How we treat hornet nests
Hornet nests are treated with the same targeted insecticidal treatment we use for wasps, applied directly into the nest entrance. Nests in trees and high eaves are routine — we carry the access equipment to reach them safely.
- Same-day appointments in season, seven days a week
- One fixed price of £109, confirmed before we attend
- Free revisit guarantee if activity continues
- Safe removal of accessible nests where required
Nest active? Don't leave it.
