Hornets, a type of wasp family member, are considered a hazardous pest in the UK. Their biology and behavior closely resemble those of common wasps, and they typically nest in places like loft spaces, sheds, and other secluded areas. While hornet nests are generally smaller than those of wasps, their larger size poses a significant health risk due to their potent stings.
How Do I Identify a Hornets Nest
Hornets, often likened to "wasps on steroids," resemble large, aggressive wasps and can enter homes or businesses
Increased hornet activity, such as frequent sightings—especially during hot weather when they are attracted to food and drinks—indicates a nearby nest.
You might observe a steady stream of hornets entering through holes near your guttering, roof tiles, or in brickwork, suggesting nesting and breeding in these cavities. In such cases, it's crucial to seek professional guidance from Frosts Pest Control promptly.
