Challenge

While treating a new clients home in Skillman, NJ we discovered something interesting in one of the trees in the backyard — a large bald-faced hornets' nest! Since it was the middle of November and the leaves had fallen, we figured that the nest was no longer active. As we got closer, we were shocked to discover that the nest was still active!

Solution

We equipped our bee suits, grabbed our ladder and extendable pole, and treated the nest with a knockdown liquid application and then a knockdown aerosol product. Both of these treatments will almost immediately exterminate the bald-faced hornets. A short while later, we removed the nest and the branch it was attached to and disposed of them properly.
