Frequent Questions

Are hornets aggressive or dangerous?

Hornets can be aggressive when threatened, especially if their nest is disturbed. Their stings are painful and can pose a risk, particularly to people allergic to stinging insects.

What’s attracting hornets to my property?

Hornets typically build nests in sheltered locations like trees, bushes, attics, or roof eaves. They’re attracted to properties that provide a safe spot to nest and ample food sources.

How do I know if I have hornets or wasps?

Hornets are typically larger than common wasps and build enclosed, paper-like nests that are often oval-shaped and hang from branches or structures. Wasps’ nests are usually more exposed, often honeycomb-like and smaller.

Do cicada killer hornets really kill cicadas?

Yes! Cicada killers got their name because they hunt cicadas as food for their larvae. Despite their intimidating size, they rarely sting people, preferring cicadas as their primary prey.
