An Interesting Look Inside a Hornet’s Nest

Hornets Nests

Having a hornet’s nest near your home isn’t something you want to see up close, but the inside of these nests can be fascinating to learn more about. Hornet nests usually have thousands of these stinging insects inside, so there’s usually a lot of activity going on throughout the day.

Hornets typically spend most of their day performing different tasks, such as building the nest, searching for food and making sure the young are fed. Some also spend time protecting the entire colony from threats by using their stingers. The few males that are part of the colony are only responsible for mating with the queen. The rest of the colony, made up of female hornets, are the ones who handle the day-to-day tasks that keep the colony in good condition.

While being able to see what’s going on inside a hornet nest is an interesting experience, it’s not something to attempt. Hornets can become aggressive when you get too close to their nest, resulting in a number of painful stings. Instead, have pest control professionals deal with getting rid of the hornets and the nest in a safe manner.

When you have a hornet’s nest on your property, don’t try to remove it on your own. Contact Allison Pest Control for help instead. Our Tom’s River Pest Control experts will promptly and safely remove the nest.
