Hornets are dangerous insect predators and their sting is very painful. They tend to make their nests in trees and on the overhang over your porch. They also like making nests inside your home, in the walls and in the attic. This can be a serious threat to you and your family and even your pets who will try to eat the wasps and just end up getting stung by them.

Hornet nests only last one year, that is true. Though other hornets may come to a dead nest and bring it back to life, its more common for a dead nest to stay dead. When the winter comes and a mature nest is hanging from the tree the males and worker wasps will die off as the cold weather roles in, the queen will then leave the nest, abandoning it. And search for a warm safe place to hibernate for the winter. When the spring comes the wasp queen will leave her hole and find a new location to start a new nest. At first she will build a small rudimentary nest but as her eggs hatch she will have more and more wasp workers to de her bidding. This can mean a terrible infestation of wasps all over your property. What is there to do when your entire home is surrounded by wasps. Well there are many precautions you can take to prevent wasps from coming onto your property. The fist step is to make sure you don’t leave your garbage out all night. Wasps are attracted to garbage and will make a nest on your property just to have access to it. It is also important to keep food inside the house, eating outside causes a mess that is very hard to clean up and all the spilled food and drinks will really attract wasps to your home.
If you are still seeing wasps you can try locking your garbage away in a tightly sealed container and storing it in the garage, make sure the door meets the ground or the wasps will just crawl under it. Make sure to turn your compost every time you add food to it or it will attract wasps as well. Fruit trees are also a huge issue and can cause all kinds of wasp nests to show up on your property so make sure to rake up fallen fruit and pick the ripe fruit off the tree before it falls.
