\"Hornets
Hornets Can Sting Repeatedly So Watch Out!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hornets are among the most dangerous\u00a0insects that NJ pest control services<\/a> deal with during the summer months. These large stinging insects have painful stings and are known for being highly aggressive if their nests are threatened. Here\u2019s some more information you should know about hornets in NJ.<\/p>\n

Behavior<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hornets<\/a> make nests with a mix of saliva and pulp that resembles paper. These nests are where they lay their eggs, which typically hatch in spring. Hornet colonies are led by a queen, who is the only one to reproduce. Other colony members include a few males and a number of females who help make the hive, feed the queen’s offspring and protect the colony.<\/p>\n

Female hornets gather food and feed on tree sap and other insects, such as flies. Males only mate with the queen and usually die shortly afterwards. If hornets feel threatened, they\u2019ll sting using stingers that don\u2019t have barbs, which allow them to sting multiple times.<\/p>\n

Life Cycle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hornet<\/a> queens usually find somewhere safe to spend the winter months, while the rest of the colony dies. They emerge from these safe places in spring, lay their eggs and have their young help build a new colony. After producing a new colony, the queen dies and a new one takes over.<\/p>\n
