Common questions about Hornet

Is Hornet dangerous, or just a nuisance?

Hornet can deliver a painful sting — a serious risk for anyone with an allergy — and builds nests in wall cavities, eaves, trees, roof voids or underground.

How do I get rid of Hornet?

Nest removal is best left to a trained PCO with the right protective equipment, especially for a large or hard-to-reach nest — never attempt to remove or disturb a nest without proper protection.

Can I treat Hornet myself, or do I need a professional?

Basic prevention — sanitation, moisture control and sealing likely entry points — is something anyone can do. For an established Hornet infestation, a licensed pest control operator (PCO) can carry out a proper inspection and a targeted treatment programme, which is usually far more reliable than an over-the-counter product used alone.
