Photo Album: Bald-Faced Hornets Love the Fountain in Far Hills, NJ
The Size of a Basketball
This basketball sized nest was loaded with angry and aggressive 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 build paper nests at least three or more feet off of the ground, usually in trees, shrubs, overhangs, houses, or other structures.
Extremely Dangerous
One very important fact that you must know about bald-faced hornets is that they are EXTREMELY aggressive and will not hesitate to sting anything that invades their space. For treatment, we injected a knockdown dusting application directly into the opening of the nest.
Quickly Exterminated
This treatment rapidly neutralizes the bald-faced hornets.
One More Thing
After a few moments went by, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and applied a residual application to the area that'll prevent any future stinging insects from building another nest.
