Appearance - Hornets are often confused for bees but are actually a type of wasp. Bald faced hornets look similar to yellow jackets, but with large with white markings on their heads. European hornets are red/brown in color.
Behavior - The easiest way to identify a hornet problem is by finding a hornet nest along with a swarm of hornets around them. Hornet nests are made from wood which is chewed into a pulp. They are papery in appearance. It is common to see hornets building their new nests in the spring.
Hornets need a place to build their nests. Awnings, window sills, gutters, or any other piece of property that can give them a ledge to build off of can be a place to establish a hive. If your Saint Stephens, AL residence has any of these available to hornets, then you may be at risk for a hornet problem.
Beyond just homes, hornets also find new living space in trees. Because their nests are made of a combination of hornet saliva and wood fibers, this is the perfect place to find a home. By that point hornet control by a professional is necessary.
Hornet stings are painful and dangerous. The worker hornets will aggressively defend their homes. Hornets do not die after a sting like bees do, so they can continuously sting you and cause damage or even fatalities if too many attacks you or your family. Additionally, hornets can release an attack pheromone which can trigger other hornets to attack. If allergic, a sting can be you into anaphylactic shock, which is a life-threatening situation. Saint Stephens, AL hornet removal is the step you must take to regain safety around your home and yard.
The technician who recently did my routine treatment was wonderful. He notified me that he was on his way and addresses my concerns. I'll be referring them to family and friends.
We had a carpenter bee problem on the deck and then wasps in another area. The technician was on time and very efficient. He found and took care of a few other areas of concern. Great service and very impressive! Thank you!
We have some bees issues last Fall, but our technician totally eradicated our problem. I was doubtful at first, but Presto-X and our technician have proven my misconception otherwise!
AWESOME job!! Also, their staff is very nice & helpful!
I have the best technician!
Exemplary service done today! The service was consistently great just like the one we had in June! I recommend Presto-X!
Our rep was informative and so considerate to answer all our questions and concerns, and he even walked us through the whole treatment process in great detail.
The rep was so patient and understanding that he waited for me to calm my newborn daughter down as he wrapped up the job. Much appreciated.
Extremely satisfied with Presto-X who have reasonable prices and wonderfully pleasant reps. Definitely recommend them!
