Hornet Nest Removal

Hornet nests can be a real problem. These stinging insects can be painful to you and your family members. They can be particularly dangerous if you have an allergy to stinging insects. Luckily, if nests are removed, the insects will typically find a new place to go.

Here are some removal tips:                                           

Use Temperatures to Your Advantage

Insects are cold-blooded. This means that the amount of energy that they have will change with the outside temperature. Your best time to approach them is in the early morning hours after a cold night. They will be most sluggish to react when you come.

Wear Full-Body Protection

To avoid being stung, be sure to wear clothing that fully covers your body, including your face. Tuck your pants into your socks and have elastic around your wrists, including your gloves. Consider wearing goggles.

Have an Exit Strategy for the Nest

Nests are most easily dealt with by sealing them in plastic and moving them into a receptacle where they can’t rip. Burning, drowning, and breaking the nest can all lead to angry hornets that are not contained. Chemicals don’t always get all the hornets, either.

Consider a Professional

If you have allergies, you have mobility issues, or you simply want the safest and most effective way to dispose of a nest, wildlife removal services are a great option. They typically have more professional equipment like insect vacuums, and they are experienced with the best time and methods to move your nest safely. They can even let you know if your home is likely to be re infested, and what you can do to avoid having this happen.
