Honeybees and other bees usually don\u2019t cause problems, but hornets can be aggressive and inflict painful stings. You definitely don&#8217;t want to have a nest on your property. Use the following information to see if you have hornets around, and get help from professional <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/stinging-insects\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NJ pest control services<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Look for a Nest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hornet nests have a grayish color and an oval shape. They\u2019re made from material that resembles paper rather than the honeycomb that bees use. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Identify-a-Hornet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hornets<\/a> usually build nests high above ground, such as under the eaves of your roof or in trees. The size of the nest can help you figure out roughly how many hornets it has inside. Larger nests can house hundreds of these bugs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch for Hornets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t see a nest, keep an eye out for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2017\/04\/24\/honey-bee-eating-giant-asian-hornets-invade-england\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hornets<\/a> flying around your property. These bugs differ from bees in a few ways. They have a thinner abdomen and black and white coloring, although some species are yellow and black. Hornets are also larger than wasps and have a head that\u2019s wider behind the eyes. Both have smooth stingers, unlike bees whose stingers have barbs.<\/p>\n<p>If hornets have invaded your property, give <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allison Pest Control<\/a> a call.
