FAQ
Q: How can you tell the difference between a hornet’s nest and something else?
A: Hornet nests are typically smooth, paper-like, and suspended. If it’s on the floor, messy, or filled with fabric or fur, it’s likely a mammal nest, not an insect one.
Q: Is it dangerous to approach a wild animal nest?
A: It can be — always wear protective gear and contact a wildlife expert before attempting removal.
Q: Why do animals choose attics for nesting?
A: Attics are quiet, warm, and undisturbed — ideal conditions for wildlife seeking safety for offspring.
Q: What should I do if I see animal activity in my attic?
A: Call a licensed wildlife control professional. Many animals are protected and must be removed safely and legally.
Q: Can hornets build nests indoors?
A: Yes — though it’s less common, hornets and wasps can build nests in attics, walls, and crawlspaces if there’s access.
