European hornets play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance by controlling insect populations. However, when they decide to build a nest in close proximity to homes or workspaces, they can pose serious risks. Recently, our pest control team encountered such a situation—a European hornet nest built just two meters from the entrance of a woodworking shed.
Hornets in Action
Our client was understandably concerned about the nest’s location, given the proximity to their woodworking machinery. European hornets are typically non-aggressive unless provoked, but the combination of loud equipment and vibrations made the risk too high to ignore. We captured footage of the nest before its safe removal, giving you a glimpse of the hornets in action:
The Danger of Nesting Near Workspaces
European hornets are essential for controlling pest populations, but having a nest this close to an area with heavy machinery is a recipe for danger. Hornets can become territorial and aggressive if they feel threatened by the noise and vibrations. For safety reasons, the nest needed to be removed.
Here’s another close-up view of the hornet activity before we took action:
