Hornets
Hornets are formidable stinging insects commonly found in the Southeastern United States. The Eastern Yellowjacket (Vespula maculifrons) and the Bald-faced Hornet (Dolichovespula maculata) are among the most prevalent species in the region. These social insects are known for their complex nests and colony structure, which includes a queen, workers, and drones. When hornet nests are located near human habitation, they can pose significant concerns. Their stings can be quite painful and may present serious health risks, especially for those with allergies.

Our expertise in hornet management ensures the safety and well-being of residents in the Southeast while minimizing the impact on the surrounding environment.
Types of Hornets
The Southeastern United States hosts a variety of hornet species, each with distinct characteristics and nesting habits. The Bald-faced Hornet (Dolichovespula maculata) is easily recognized by its striking black and white coloration and builds large, football-shaped paper nests usually located in trees or shrubs. The Eastern Yellowjacket (Vespula maculifrons) is another common species known for its aggressive behavior and tendency to create underground nests.
While these two species are prominent, other hornet species may also be present in the Southeast, adding to the region's rich insect diversity.
