Expert Hornet Treatment in Malvern, Worcestershire

Expert Hornet Treatment Service Covering Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

Fast, Safe & Trusted Family-Run Pest Control

Hornets are larger, louder, and more aggressive than wasps—and when they build a nest on your property, they can become a serious health hazard. Their stings are more painful, and their colonies can be highly defensive if disturbed. At Malvern Pest Control, we offer expert hornet nest treatment in Malvern, as well as throughout Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and Gloucestershire.

As a family-run pest control company, we provide fast, reliable, and discreet treatment to protect your home or business. We use specialist equipment and fully compliant insecticides to safely eliminate hornet nests, often in a single visit.

Why Hornet Nest Removal Is So Important

Hornets may look similar to wasps, but their behaviour—and risk—can be much more severe:

• More Aggressive: Hornets defend their nests more fiercely than common wasps.

• Painful Stings: Their sting is more painful due to a higher venom content, and they can sting multiple times.

• Allergic Reactions: A hornet sting can cause severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.

• Unpredictable Behaviour: Hornets are easily agitated by movement or vibrations, making DIY treatment dangerous.

Never attempt to remove a hornet nest yourself. Their reactions can be extreme, especially when the colony is disturbed.

Common Signs of a Hornet Nest

Hornet nests are most active from late spring through early autumn, and can often be mistaken for wasp nests. Look for the following signs:

• Loud Buzzing or Humming: A deep buzzing sound, often coming from roof voids, sheds, or trees.

• High Activity Around Entry Points: Hornets flying in and out of a consistent spot—such as soffits, vents, wall cavities, or hollow trees.

• Sightings of Large Insects: Hornets are much larger than wasps (around 2.5–3.5cm) and have a deeper colour with more brown and yellow tones.

• Visible Nest: A grey or paper-like nest, typically built in elevated, sheltered areas such as lofts, outbuildings, or tree branches.

If you’re unsure whether you’re dealing with hornets or wasps, our technicians will identify the species during a free assessment.

Our Safe & Effective Hornet Nest Treatment Process

At Malvern Pest Control, we use specialist protective gear and equipment to ensure safe and compliant treatment:

1. Free Survey & Identification

We start by confirming the presence of hornets and locating the nest. Our technician will assess the safest way to treat the nest and provide a no-obligation quote.

2. Access & Preparation

We wear full protective suits and veils to access the nest safely. Depending on the location, we may use ladders or telescopic applicators to reach the nest from a safe distance.

3. Insecticide Treatment

We apply a fast-acting professional-grade insecticide powder or foam directly into the nest or entry point. The returning hornets carry the treatment deeper into the nest, eliminating the colony from within.

4. Nest Deactivation

Within 24–48 hours, the nest becomes inactive. In some cases, we can remove the nest, though this isn’t always necessary if it’s hidden or in a dangerous location.

5. Follow-Up (if required)

If hornet activity persists after 48 hours (rare), we return at no extra charge to re-treat the nest.

When Is Hornet Season in the UK?

Hornet nests typically follow this annual cycle:

• Late Spring (May–June): Queens emerge and begin building new nests.

• Summer (July–August): Colonies reach peak numbers—hundreds of hornets may inhabit a single nest.

• Late Summer to Early Autumn (September–October): Hornets become more aggressive and territorial as food becomes scarce.

• Late Autumn (November): Nests die off, but do not wait—treat them while active to prevent stings and repeat infestations next year.
