These invasive insects pose a growing threat as warmer weather increases their activity across the UK. Asian hornets are rapidly expanding their range, with sightings no longer limited to coastal areas but now spreading inland. Newnes warns that 2026 is shaping up to be the most concerning year yet due to the fast-growing populations and geographical spread.
