Hornet Control in Albany, NY
Hornets are among the most aggressive stinging insects found in the Capital Region. Bald-faced hornets construct large paper nests in trees, shrubs, and on structures — and they will attack in force if they sense any threat to the colony. Unlike most wasps, hornets are active at night as well as during the day, which makes accidental contact more likely.
Hornet removal is not a job for homeowners. The nests are often located in hard-to-reach spots — high in trees, inside wall cavities, or under rooflines — and disturbing an active hornet nest without proper protection can result in hundreds of stings. Professional exterminators use targeted insecticide treatments that eliminate the colony at the source, then remove the nest to prevent re-infestation.

About Hornets
The bald-faced hornet is the most common hornet species in the Albany, NY area. They build large, gray, football-shaped paper nests — often high in trees or under eaves — and are highly aggressive when defending their colony. European hornets, which can grow over an inch long, also appear in the Capital Region.
