Not sure if you have a hornet infestation in your home? You're not alone. It can be difficult to spot their nests, and even then, more difficult still to determine if they're active. If they aren't handled quickly, they can grow to be a danger to you and your family. If you notice any of these signs in your home, it may be time to call for hornet extermination. Check below to see if any of this sounds familiar.

You See a Few Hornets Around the House

Like most insects, hornets wander. While a hornet sighting on your property can be simply a fluke, seeing more than one should raise a red flag. How many have you seen at once? Keep an eye out next time you spot one, and see if you can follow it back to the nest. If the hornet meanders for a while before leaving the area, you might not have to worry.

You Hear a Consistent Buzzing Noise

If you can hear buzzing or tapping inside your walls, consider calling your local exterminators for hornet extermination right away. Many wasp removal clients report that they could hear their infestation issue before they could see it. If there's a noise in your house that you can't link to anything else, you should consider the possibility it might be a hornet's nest in development.

You See a Dark Spot on Your Walls

Buzzing isn't the only hint that hornets might be in your walls. You can also spot nests developing by the presence of wood damage or dark spots on your walls. These insects love to build their homes inside narrow, hollow spaces. As it turns out, our walls are great for that. Don't be so quick to assume your dark spot is just water damage; there's a chance it might be a growing insect colony.

Above all, it's important to take possible hornet infestations seriously. Bee and wasp stings are nothing to scoff at. According to Turner Pest Control, around 100 people are killed each year by these stings. If you think you have an infestation, be sure to call our team at Innovative Pest Solutions as soon as possible.
