How we treat european hornet in Stone Oak #

A few things we won't do: we won't spray from 20 feet and call it done, we won't sell you a six-month contract for a problem that's going to resolve in three weeks anyway, and we won't recommend treatment if what you've got is harmless. That last one happens more often than you'd think with european hornet calls in Stone Oak.

If we ever found a European hornet nest in our area (which is pretty unlikely), we’d handle it like we do with bald-faced hornets in hidden spots. We’d use a dust formulation applied at the nest entry point during dusk or dawn. We’d wear a full bee suit with sealed eye protection. After that, we’d wait 24-48 hours before removing the nest and keep an eye on the area afterward.
