People are being warned to brace for an invasion of hornets this autumn as warm and dry weather sees them arrive in numbers. Experts say a bumper season is on the horizon as the insects love the conditions that have dominated recent weeks and months.
The largest of the wasp family, hornets are prevalent in the UK between May and September. They are known for a nasty sting and the potential resulting allergic reaction.
While hornets will certainly enjoy your soft drink or barbecue burger, there are a few things that they’re less keen on, according to pest control expert Adam Juson, founder of Merlin Environmental.
