Pests We Treat Photo Album: Bald-Faced Hornets Hide Under the Meter in New Egypt, NJ

There They Are

As you can see, the bald-faced hornets nest was hidden well!

What Are Bald-Faced Hornets?

Bald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that are a close relative to yellow jackets. The surface of their upper midsection almost looks triangular from the side, and they have white markings on their face. They are EXTREMELY aggressive and will not hesitate to sting anything that invades their space. What makes them even scarier is they have smooth stingers, which means they can sting over and over again, can actually sense vibrations in the air, and remember their invader's face!

Time for Extermination

For treatment, we injected a knockdown aerosol application, waited a few moments, and then injected a knockdown dusting application. Both of these products will quickly eliminate the bald-faced hornets.

The Last Part of the Process

After a few moments, we removed the nest and disposed of it.
