No, hornets do not reuse old nests. Each year a new queen builds a new nest.

Hornets are most active during the late summer and early fall when colonies are at their largest.

A sting can be very painful and potentially serious, especially for people with allergies.

Some wasp sprays can kill hornets, but they don’t offer long-term solutions or safety from stings.

In most cases, professionals can safely eliminate a hornet nest in a single visit.
