Hornets aren’t a common pest in the UK. However, they can cause issues in some locations, and their substantial size and potent sting makes them hazardous to humans, particularly when they are present in large numbers.
Hornets can be difficult to distinguish from wasps. The most noticeable indication is the fact that hornets are social and live in large nests while wasps tend to be solitary. This means that if you find a large number of the insects, they might be hornets. Small numbers of hornets can be managed on a DIY basis using spray insecticide with care. However, this is dangerous because of the sting of the hornet. Hornets can sting many times without dying and their stings can cause allergic reactions in many people. These stings can be lethal in extreme cases.
For substantial infestations or in situations where the nest is inaccessible the services of a professional pest control company should be sought. These companies have access to professional class insecticides which are extremely effective on hornets. These insecticides may be delivered either by spray, a liquid application or in dust form. All of these methods will leave some residual effect which means that any hornets that were not present at the time of the first application will be wiped out when they return to the nest. Pest control companies will also be able to eliminate the nest, which will stop hornets attempting to recolonise it.
