What Attracts Hornets—and How to Keep Them Away
Hornets are attracted to food sources like sugary drinks, pet food, and uncovered trash, as well as sheltered areas ideal for nest building. They’re especially drawn to outdoor spaces with plenty of insects to feed on and wood structures they can chew into pulp for their nests. To keep hornets away, it’s important to keep food and garbage sealed, maintain your yard, and inspect eaves, sheds, and trees for early signs of nesting. Avoid leaving sweet-smelling perfumes or fruit out during the warmer months, especially during picnics or outdoor gatherings. Sealing cracks in siding and screening vents can also help prevent them from building nests in or near your home. GPM Termite & Pest Control can provide proactive treatments and tips to help you keep your property hornet-free year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hornet Control
1. How do I know if I have a hornet nest on my property?
Common signs include seeing a steady stream of large, aggressive flying insects, especially near eaves, trees, sheds, or outdoor structures. You may also spot a papery, football-shaped nest hanging from a tree limb or building overhang. If you’re unsure, it’s best to have a professional inspection to avoid the risk of stings.
2. Is hornet removal safe to do on my own?
Attempting to remove a hornet nest without proper equipment or training can be very dangerous. Hornets are highly aggressive when threatened and can sting multiple times. For your safety, it’s strongly recommended to contact a licensed pest control expert like GPM Termite & Pest Control.
3. How long does it take to get rid of hornets after treatment?
In most cases, hornets are eliminated within 24 to 48 hours after professional treatment. Depending on the size and location of the nest, follow-up visits may be needed to ensure complete eradication and to prevent future infestations.
