Bald-Faced Hornets Setting Up Above the Back Door in Rumson, NJ
We were sent out to the home of a new customer in Rumson, NJ to get rid of some hornets. When we arrived, we found the volleyball-sized nest right above the back door. As we got closer, we identified them as bald-faced hornets.
These nasty stinging insects are aggressive and territorial. So aggressive that if anyone or anything comes within close proximity of their nest, they will attack! What's even worse is that they can actually sense vibrations in the air and remember an invader's face!
For treatment, we injected a knockdown dusting application into the nest, waited a few moments, and then injected a knockdown aerosol application. Both of these applications quickly exterminate the bald-faced hornets. We then removed the nest, properly disposed of it, and treated the area with a residual product. This will neutralize any bald-faced hornets that return to this area as well as prevent them, and all other stinging insects, from building another nest.
