European Hornets are formidable pests that can pose serious risks to your safety and property. Recognizable by their large size, reddish-brown heads, and yellow and black striped abdomens, these hornets are more aggressive than many other wasp species and can deliver painful stings. Their nests, often built in hidden or hard-to-reach locations, can quickly become a significant problem if left unmanaged.

European Hornets are typically found in:

• Nests in trees and shrubs: They often build their nests high up in trees or dense shrubs, where they are less likely to be disturbed.
• Attics and wall voids: These hornets may also nest inside buildings, particularly in attics or wall cavities, where their nests can grow large and cause structural damage.
• Outdoor structures: European Hornets can nest in sheltered outdoor areas like under eaves, in sheds, or in other protected spaces.
• Gardens and landscaped areas: They are attracted to flowers and fruit, making gardens and outdoor dining areas potential hotspots.

The aggressive nature of European Hornets makes them particularly dangerous. They are more likely to sting if their nest is threatened, and their stings can cause severe pain and allergic reactions in some individuals. Their large nests can also cause damage to structures and pose a safety risk to anyone in the vicinity.
