Photo Album: Surprise Discovery of a Bald-Faced Hornets Nest in New Egypt, NJ
We actually discovered an active bald-faced hornets' nest during the inspection of this home in New Egypt, NJ
Expertly Hidden
As we were inspecting the exterior of the property, we heard a "buzzing" sound near a bush. We took a closer look and stumbled upon a bald-faced hornets' nest!
Full of Bald-Faced Hornets
As you can see, it's very active! The homeowner had no idea the nest was even there! Bald-faced hornets are aggressive and will attack anyone or anything that invades their space, unlike other stinging insects that may only rarely sting when they feel extremely threatened.
Carefully Treat
After equipping our protective bee suit, we treated the nest with a residual aerosol application and then a dusting application. Both of these products will almost immediately exterminate the bald-faced hornets.
Now Take it Down
Several moments later, we removed the nest, and the branch it was attached to and disposed of both of them properly.
