Photo Album: Exterminating a Large Bald-Faced Hornets Nest in South Bound Brook, NJ
That's a Big Nest
When we arrived we equipped our protective bee suit and located the nest within minutes. This huge nest is filled with hundreds of angry bald-faced hornets!
What are Bald-Faced Hornets
Bald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that are a close relative to yellow jackets. The surface of their upper midsection almost looks triangular from the side, and they have white markings on their face. They are EXTREMELY aggressive and will not hesitate to sting anything that invades their space. What makes them even scarier is they have smooth stingers, which means they can sting over and over again, can actually sense vibrations in the air, and remember their invader's face!
Hornets Nest Removed
We treated the nest with a knockdown aerosol and a knockdown liquid application. Both products exterminate the bald-faced hornets almost immediately. A short while later, we removed the nest and properly disposed of it.
