Hornet Nest Removal
Hornets are often confused with wasps, but are much larger and often less inclined to seek conflict unless their nest is under threat. Because the European hornet has the capacity to sting, it presents many of the same risks as wasps, especially for those at risk of an allergic reaction.
At Pest Defence, we can provide a safe hornet nest removal service for homes and businesses across London and Essex, including Colchester, Chelmsford and Brentwood.
Call us today if you need European hornet removal or Asian hornet nest removal.

Frequently asked questions
Where do hornets make nests in a house?
If hornets make a nest in your house, you’re most likely to find them in the sheltered, elevated areas. This includes the eaves of your roofs, loft spaces, wall cavities and even inside chimney stacks. Hornets want a quiet place where they won’t be disturbed, gaining access to these spaces via small cracks, gaps and vents.
If you need any assistance removing a hornet nest from your house, don’t hesitate to contact us for safe, professional removal.
Should I report hornets in the UK?
While there is no requirement to report European hornets, you should report any suspected sightings of Asian hornets, as these are an invasive species and a threat to our native pollinators. If you suspect you have a regular hornet nest on your property and need further advice, get in touch with our hornet experts today.
What time of day are hornets most active?
Like many similar insects, hornets will be at their most active during the warmest parts of the day. They will return to their nest when the sun begins to set and temperatures fall, which is the best time for professional treatment to begin, helping to remove as much of the nest as possible. Call us today for expert hornet nest removal services for your property and we can discuss the best time to schedule the appointment.
How many times can a hornet sting?
Hornets can sting multiple times, like wasps. They do not lose their stinger like bees and are at their most aggressive in defence of their nest. Stings can be painful, with a risk of allergic reaction for some people. That’s why it’s important to have a hornet nest removed if it has become a hazard for your family or for your guests if you run a business.
What to do if I find a hornet's nest?
You should never try to remove or disturb a hornet nest yourself. This is because you risk agitating the hornets, which are then more likely to sting. Instead, contact a professional pest control team, such as our experts at Pest Defence, and we’ll gladly carry out a safe and effective nest removal for you.
