Photo Album: Massive Bald-Faced Hornets Nest Found in Fair Haven, NJ
This was one of the largest bald-faced hornets nest we've seen so far this season!
A MASSIVE Hornets Nest
Yea...that's a HUGE bald-faced hornets nest! You can actually see the sentry guards outside of the nest, guarding it.
They Remember Your Face
Bald-faced hornets are EXTREMELY aggressive & territorial, have smooth stingers (which means they can sting a target over and over again), and can even remember an intruders face!
Extreme Care is Needed
They can also sense vibrations in the air, so if you're approaching the nest, they will be alerted and emerge to defend their nest!
Eliminating the Bald-Faced Hornets
For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol and a knockdown liquid application directly into the nest. Both of these treatments will rapidly exterminate the bald-faced hornets. After a short while, we removed the nest and the branch it was attached to.
Brought it Back to Our Office
We even brought it back to our office to show our coworkers!
