Frequently Asked Questions

Getting rid of hornets can be dangerous if not left to the professionals. However, if you choose to do it yourself, follow these steps and be extremely careful: Put on thick clothing covering every inch of exposed skin. Wear a mask, gloves, and a hat to protect yourself from stings. Hornets are less active at night, so it’s safer to remove the nests after dusk when most hornets return to their nests.

In some severe cases, seeking medical attention is advised for allergic reactions or if you were stung multiple times.

Apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to the sting site for 10 to 15 minutes to reduce inflammation and pain.
