Safety

What to do now

Two questions, then a short procedure. Nothing here replaces medical advice — if a reaction is severe, contact emergency services.

At home or in the garden (a nest)

  1. Don’t try to remove or disturb the nest yourself, not even with common spray products.
  2. Keep children and pets away from the area.
  3. Contact a professional pest control service for safe removal.
  4. In the meantime, avoid walking near the nest more than necessary.

HornetAlert is not a medical service. Nothing on this page is medical advice, and nothing here is a diagnosis — none of it replaces assessment by a health professional.
