Hornets are large, social wasps that can pose a significant threat to both residential and commercial properties in Southern California. Effective hornet removal is crucial to keeping your space safe. Unlike bees and other wasps, hornets have distinct behavior and nesting habits, which makes understanding them essential for effective control.
How to Identify Hornets
Hornets can be recognized by their black and yellow coloring, similar to yellow jackets, but with a reddish hue around their face. They typically grow up to 1 inch in length, making them larger than many other wasps. Hornets prefer to build their nests above ground, often in trees, shrubs, or under the eaves of buildings. Their nests are football-shaped, made of a papery substance, and can contain up to 10,000 hornets.
Why Hornets Are a Problem
Hornets can become aggressive when their nests are disturbed, and their stings are painful, sometimes leading to severe allergic reactions. Unlike bees, hornets can sting multiple times, increasing the risk of injury. Their nests are frequently located in high-traffic areas, such as near homes, garages, and outdoor patios, making encounters more likely.
