Hornets or Wasps?
While European hornets aren’t as common as wasps in Essex, they can still cause serious problems when they build their nests on your property. Hornets are larger than common wasps, though they are often confused with each other.
A helpful tip to tell them apart:
- Hornets have distinctive yellow and brown stripes on their abdomen
- Common wasps have bright yellow and black markings
If you’re unsure about the type of nest on your property and prefer not to approach it (which is the safest option), our trained technicians are more than happy to identify it for you and recommend the appropriate removal services.

What Does a Hornet’s Nest Look Like?
Curious about how a hornet nest appears? Hornet nests have a papery look, created from wood pulp that hornets chew and form. Hornet colonies build these distinctive structures in protected spaces like:
– Roof spaces
– Wall cavities
– Behind air bricks
– Garden sheds
– Tree hollows
Nests can vary in size, with those treated during the summer being smaller compared to those discovered during the autumn months. Signs of a hornet’s nest on your property include a constant flow of hornets entering and exiting your home, typically through a single access point.

Are Hornets Dangerous?
European hornets aren’t more dangerous than wasps, despite some sensational media reports. However, they can become aggressive if their nest is disturbed, and their stings can be more painful than a wasp sting. Occasionally, a hornet sting may trigger a severe allergic reaction, which can be unpredictable and require medical attention.
Therefore, it’s wise to treat and remove a hornet colony as soon as you detect any signs on your property. That’s where our hornet removal specialists at Natures Way come into play – we safely remove hornet nests from spaces such as wall cavities and roof spaces throughout Essex, including Southend on Sea, Basildon, Brentwood, Stanford Le Hope, Rayleigh and all surrounding areas.
