Hornets in Utah can usually be identified by their nest or hive. They build a large football shaped nest like the one in the picture above. These nests are usually hanging in a tree, but can sometimes be hanging on structure such as your home, shed or playset.
These pests are very protective of their nest and will get aggressive if they feel like there is any threat present. They are particularly agitated by vibrations and loud noises such as lawn mowers.
