European Hornets

European hornets are social insects that build large paper nests. They are primarily active during the day and are attracted to lights at night.

Nests are often constructed in hollow trees, wall voids, attics, and other sheltered locations.

European hornets can deliver painful stings and are more aggressive than some other wasp species.

To prevent European hornet stings, avoid disturbing their nests and seek professional removal if needed.
