Yes, they’re. Hornets are dangerous insects and are less aggressive than any other wasp species. But their stings are painful & won’t stop with one sting. This is why whenever you spot a hornet nest, you must call a wasp control specialist to help you out. Hornets are a type of wasp that is longer than a wasp that builds their nest from a pulp made from wood. If you’re confused about wasp & hornet, hornets have reddish-brown heads and thoraxes, with abdomens that are golden in colour with dark brown stripes whereas wasps have black to brown bodies with yellow stripes and wings. Whether it’s a hornet or any type of wasp species, you must eliminate their nest from the property to avoid painful stings.

To protect your home from hornets, be sure to keep your garden trimmed and well-cleaned. Seal any cracks or crevices to stop them from entering your home & remove old wood from the house. On top of all, be conscious about spills & leftover juice you leave that attracts them. You can store outdoor trash in sealed containers. Plant flowers far from the house. However, if you already have an infestation, hire wasp nest removal experts to remove them.
