understanding hornets
- Hornets are a large type of stinging wasp that come in all different colors. These pests can be:
- Black
- Orange
- Dark yellow
- Dark red
- Up to one inch or larger in length
- Very aggressive and prone to stinging
- Hornets are very territorial and are liable to sting if you enter what they deem their space.
- These flying pests can be beneficial in some cases because they mainly eat other insects. This could help reduce the amount of other pests you see on your property. However, most would argue that the immediate threat hornets pose to you and your family outweighs any benefits.
- Like other wasps, hornets love to eat sugar and sap, but are also very good at controlling garden insect populations.
