Professional use dusts are best used in this instance, preferably from a distance as the dust aggravates hornets. The problem area must be excluded by all persons and pets until all hornet activity has ceased.
The Hornet builds its nest in outbuildings, roof soffits, thatched roofs and tree cavities.
The nest is formed by the Hornet chewing wood creating a paper like material, which can become extremely large. Colonies survive one season in Britain with a new nest starting each spring by hibinating queens. They forage on a wide range of foods including sweet substances, insects and spiders. They can be extemely aggressive if threatened.
Can be a nuisance, particularly if nests are near or within a building. They are feared due to their loud wing vibration and painful sting, which can be potentally fatal, it is common for a hornet sting to bring on anaphylactic shock a potentially fatal condition if not treated immediately by medical services. If an adult or child is stung by a hornet it is advisable to seek medical help immediately.
