Pests We Treat Photo Album: Removal of a Bald-Faced Hornet's Nest in Belmar, NJ
Camouflaged in the Bush
After thoroughly inspecting the backyard, I found a bald-faced hornet nest in a bush by the back garage door.
What do They Look Like
Bald-faced hornets greatly resemble yellowjackets and have black bodies and a white-patterned face. They aggressively defend their nests against anything that comes within close proximity to their colony.
Infestation and Treating
A bald-faced hornet infestation is visible with the presence of a nest, which is usually suspended above the ground. There will also be worker bald-faced hornets flying around the nest and nearby area if there is an infestation. Using my extendable pole, I treated the nest with a foaming application that immediately eliminates the hornets on contact.
Remove the Nest
Once all the hornets are gone, I safely removed the nest and properly disposed of the nest.
