Understanding the Buzz: Hornet Nests vs. Wasp Nests

Before you can tackle the problem, it’s crucial to know what you’re up against. Hornets and wasps are often confused for one another, but their nests are distinctly different.

  • Hornet Nests: Typically, hornet nests are large, football-shaped, and made of a paper-like substance. Hornets prefer to build their homes high up off the ground, often in trees or under eaves. If you’re dealing with a hornet nest, you’ll notice it’s more enclosed compared to a wasp nest, with a single entry point.
  • Wasp Nests: Wasps, on the other hand, create nests that might be open and resemble an umbrella shape with visible honeycomb-like structures. These are often found in sheltered areas like door frames, window sills, or even the underside of decks.

Location Matters

In Maryland, our warm summers and mild winters make it a prime location for these pests to thrive. Being aware of where hornet and wasp nests might appear around your home is the first step in prevention.

Why Remove Hornet and Wasp Nests?

Besides the obvious risk of stings, hornets, and wasps can be territorial and aggressive, especially if they feel their nest is threatened. A peaceful backyard barbecue can quickly turn chaotic with the presence of these pests. Moreover, for individuals with allergies, a sting can be life-threatening. This is where professional removal becomes crucial.
