Hornets are a dangerous pest to have around your property; they are aggressive and have dangerous venom in their stings that can cause severe allergic reactions or even death. If you see a hornet’s nest anywhere on your property, you’ll need to act immediately to protect your family and remove the threat. The pest removal experts at Acme Pest Control Co. in Concord, NC, explain below what you need to know about dealing with this situation.

What to Know About Hornet Pest Removal

What to Do

The best thing you can do when you see a hornet’s nest is keep your distance. Never try to remove the nest yourself, as hornets will swarm and sting repeatedly when they feel threatened. Tell kids and visitors to stay away from the area, and keep pets locked away so they won’t interfere with the nest. Mark off the area with caution tape if you need to. If the nest is inside a room, close all the doors and windows to the room to keep the hornets locked inside. Call a professional for help as soon as possible.

How a Professional Can Help

A pest removal professional will use their specialized equipment and training to safely remove the nest. Once the nest has been removed, talk with them about prevention measures. Hornets will inspect an area to determine whether it’s a good place to build their nest. Preventive spraying on the dry wood surfaces they’re attracted to will help keep them away. A pest control professional can evaluate the most likely areas that hornets would build a new nest and spray there regularly to prevent another infestation.
