The nest was HUGE, which means that there is a large number of angry bald-faced hornets inside.

As I was getting ready to treat the nest several bald-faced hornets emerged and began to attack me. Since bald-faced hornets are extremely territorial, this isn't out of the ordinary. Due to the heavy hornet activity, I had to retreat back to my vehicle and wait until they calmed down.

While I was patiently waiting I equipped my extendable pole with an aerosol application. Once the hornets calmed down, I carefully and slowly approached the nest and began treating it. The aerosol application neutralizes the hornets on contact almost immediately.

After a few minutes, I successfully scraped the nest from the tree branch and properly disposed of the nest. I then sprayed the branches that the nest was attached to with a long-lasting residual aerosol application that prevents the hornets from rebuilding in that area.
