The wasp’s larger relative is the hornet. But generally speaking, it is less hostile. However, if they feel threatened, they will attack, just like the wasp. This includes protecting Hornet Nests.
The hornet’s sting is not more poisonous than a wasp’s. However, its needle-like sting is much longer. This can reach muscle easily. As a result, this causes much greater pain than a wasp sting. This pain can often send someone to A&E.
Therefore, if you need safe Hornet Control in Surrey or swift Hornet Nest Removal, call us. We also offer Wasp Control and safe Bald-faced hornet removal.
The hornet is actually less aggressive, even though it is larger than the wasp. In fact, hornets are important pollinators. They also prey on species that eat crops. Therefore, people often call them a friend to farmers and gardeners! Hornets catch different invertebrates to feed their larvae. Conversely, they themselves eat high-value foods like nectar and sap.
When spring comes, queen hornets start building the Hornet Nest. They chew up wood to make it. Often, the Hornet Nests appear in hollow trees or cavities in buildings. Once the nest is set up, sterile workers hatch. They then begin to look after more young hatched by the queen. When summer ends, reproductive males and new queens develop. They leave the nest for mating.
After mating, the male and old queen die. New female queens hide until the next spring. Then they start the cycle again. If you spot Hornet Nests or need Hornet Control in Surrey, call us. We also handle Bald-faced hornet removal and offer Wasp Control and Wasp Removal in Surrey.
Although hornets prefer more natural areas such as woodlands, if need be they will make their nest in a cavity in your home. However, that’s not exactly great for you, but you can trust us for a full and comprehensive nest removal.

Rather than the traditional colours of a wasp, the hornet is actually a mix of yellow and brown. It has a brown thorax (the part between the head and abdomen) and yellow and brown stripes. It is larger than your common wasp, but not as aggressive. Don't get it mixed up with the more uncommon Asian hornet that has a similar appearance aside from a full brown abdomen excluding one brown segment.
