Hornets are a member of the wasp family and look very similar to yellow jackets. As “social” wasps, they build large communal nests, usually in shrubs and trees, with a queen and workers. Unfortunately, hornets can be very aggressive, actively guarding their nest when they feel threatened. That can be a big problem for people who accidentally stumble on or brush up against a nest hidden in leaves and branches.
If you find hornets on your property, it’s always best to contact professional hornet exterminators, like the team at Ford’s Hometown Services. Headquartered in Worcester, Ford’s Hometown Services is known for our:

For example, if hornets are nesting inside a wall, our team can carefully redirect the dying hornets towards the outside using years of experience and careful product selection rather than aggravate them towards the indoor living space.
- Experienced team: Because of their aggressive nature, hornets will attack easily and it’s crucial to wear protective clothing, be prepared to evacuate the area, and take the extra precautions that hornet elimination professionals are familiar with. Don’t take chances trying to do it yourself, hornets aren’t a pest to mess with.
