What should you tell us?
Where it is
Is the nest in a tree, shrub, eave, attic vent, shed or somewhere else?
How high it is
A rough guess from the ground is enough. Don’t stand underneath it or climb up for a better look.
What is nearby
Let us know about doors, walkways, children, pets or yard work close to the nest.
Not sure if it’s a hornet?
That’s okay. If you can take a photo from a safe spot, send it along. We can start from there.
Until it’s handled
- Keep people and pets away.
- Pause mowing and trimming nearby.
- Don’t block any opening they are using.
- Have your ZIP code ready when you call.
If someone has trouble breathing or swelling around the face or throat, call 911.
