Delaware Hornet Control and Extermination

Hornets in Delaware

Whether they’re outside your home or business or they find a way inside, hornets are unwelcome guests for Delaware residents and business owners. While the primary diet of these invasive pests is insects, they’ll turn their powerful stingers on humans and pets if they feel threatened. To protect your Delaware home or business from hornets, you need to learn about the behavior of this pest, take steps for prevention, and find effective treatment options should an infestation occur.

What Are Hornets?

Hornets are winged insects most commonly found in the northern hemisphere on the continents of Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. Worldwide, there are around 20 different species of hornets as well as many closely related relatives like yellow jackets. In Delaware, though, you’ll only see bald-faced hornets and European hornets, explain the local Delaware exterminators at Viking Pest. Hornets are not known for being aggressive unless they feel threatened. Unlike bees, hornets can sting an unlimited number of times.

How to Identify Hornets

Hornets are winged creatures often mistaken for bees or yellow jackets. Viking Pest’s certified entomologist, Craig, explains while it varies by the type of hornet, the largest hornets can grow to a little over 2 inches in length. Most hornets are black and white in color, as opposed to bees and yellow jackets that are typically gold, yellow, or yellow-brown. When identifying hornets in Delaware, be careful not to get too close, as hornets are some of the most aggressive pests when they feel threatened.
