Hornets are a type of wasp. The biggest difference between the two is that hornets are much larger than wasps and tend to be a little less aggressive.
Hornets also have smooth stingers which give them the ability to sting a victim multiple times. These insects have long, hairless bodies and narrow waists. They come in a variety of color patterns depending on the exact species, some of the most common include:
Yellow and black
Yellow and brown
White and black
Hornets are not as aggressive as other types of wasps like the yellow jacket but will attack if they or the nest is being threatened.
The venom hornets possess can cause serious health problems in those who are allergic. A hornet sting has the potential to trigger an anaphylactic shock in people with a severe allergy or in the cases of repeated stings.
In addition, hornet stings are well-known for being extremely painful, with pain and swelling lingering for hours or even days.
Hornets are a potentially serious pest problem and you should never underestimate them. Never intentionally approach hornets or their nesting sites.
Our yards often provide ideal nesting areas for hornets as they provide plenty of access to food and water. Hornets can hunt for insects and feed on plant nectar in a variety of outdoor spaces. Properties with or near wooded areas, a lot of trees, gardens, and landscaping plants are especially attractive to these pests.
Hornets tend to place their nests up off of the ground in sheltered locations away from people and predators. They construct their nests from a paper-like material the hornets create by mixing wood fibers and their saliva.
Tree branches, dense shrubs, and areas under roof eaves are some of the hornet’s most common nesting sites. Some species prefer to place their nests in open cavities like tree voids, attics, or wall voids.
Overwintering hornets (queens) hide behind pieces of tree bark, within rotten logs or tree stumps, and behind siding found on our homes and garages.
