Photo Album: Church gets Buzzed by Hornets in Matawan, NJ
I went out on a service call for a church in Matawan, NJ who was experiencing an issue with hornets on their property.
There it is!
I equipped my personal protective bee suit and began inspecting the property. Within moments I spotted the hornets nest. Upon closer inspection, I identified these stinging insects as bald-faced hornets.
Too Close to the Kids
I surveyed the property and noticed that the hornets nest was dangerously close to the children's playground. Since bald-faced hornets can sense vibrations in the ground whenever something approaches their nest and aggressively defend their nest, this is a hazard and must be removed immediately.
Time for Takedown
I grabbed my extendable pole, equipped an aerosol application to it, and began fogging the nest.
Quick Elimination
This application very rapidly neutralizes the hornets.
Safe Once Again
Once the hornets were eliminated I removed the nest and properly disposed of it.
