Man Shocked to Discover Giant Hornet’s Nest Hidden in His AtticWhen UK homeowner Les Stagg set out to wash his car one sunny afternoon, the last thing he expected was to stumble upon a hidden danger lurking just above his head. After noticing a few large insects hovering near his roofline, he assumed they were ordinary wasps. But a closer look—and a call to pest control—revealed a shocking truth: one of the biggest hornet nests a professional had ever encountered was tucked away inside his loft.

A Routine Day Turns into a Shocking Discovery

At first, the sight seemed harmless. Just a handful of large insects buzzed lazily around the eaves of Les’s house. Like many homeowners, he brushed it off as a seasonal nuisance. But something nagged at him when he spotted what looked like a small nest near the roofline. Out of caution, he contacted a local pest control service.

When the specialist arrived, she geared up and cautiously entered the attic space. What she found left her speechless: an enormous hornet’s nest, far larger than expected, with hundreds of insects inside. According to the technician, it was the largest nest she had ever encountered in her career.
