Photo Album: Up Close with Bald-Faced Hornets in Barnegat Light, NJ
Every time this homeowner in Barnegat Light, NJ, opened his garage, he was greeted by several angry bald-faced hornets!
Tucked in the Corner
As you can see the bald-faced hornets nest was tucked away in the corner of the garage, right above the light sensor. The nest was a little bigger than that of a soccer ball.
Aggressive Hornets
Bald-faced hornets are EXTREMELY aggressive and will not hesitate to sting anything that invades their space. They have smooth stingers, which means that they can sting a person or a pet over and over again.
Exterminating the Hornets
For treatment, we injected a knockdown dusting application directly into the opening of the nest. This treatment rapidly neutralizes the bald-faced hornets.
Removed and Area Treated
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.
