Bald faced hornets treatments.
To treat for bald faced hornets, the nest must be treated and all of the insects killed. Bald faced hornets are very aggressive and will heavily defend their nest. Due to the bald faced hornet's highly aggressive nature, it is best to let a professional eliminate the problem. Bald faced hornet nests are treated with a fast acting insecticide to kill the hornets quickly. Once the insect activity ceases, the nest may be safely removed.

Identifying Bald Faced Hornets

Bald faced hornets can be identified by the type of nest that they build, or by the color and size. Bald faced hornet's nests are made of a paper-like substance made by the hornets. The nests are exposed and are round or football-shaped. The nests hang from a stem attached to an object such as the eaves of a home, under a porch roof, or under a tree branch. Insects can be seen entering a single entrance or hole. The nests are not re-used and each nest will die off in the fall leaving a single female reproductive. This single female will find a protected location for the winter, and will build a new nest the next spring. The insects themselves are large, robust wasps. They are mostly black, but have distinct pale while markings on their face and pale white stripes on the rear part of the abdomen. They can be distinguished from other wasps and yellowjackets by the color of the markings, more pale-white than yellow.

Bald Faced Hornets Information

Bald faced hornets, bald-faced hornets, baldfaced hornets, or white faced hornets are large wasps related to yellowjackets. Bald faced hornets are social insects, meaning that the insect colony or nest works together to survive and raise young. Social insects often have a single reproducing female and many sterile female workers, as is the case with bald-faced hornets. The honeybee has a similar social structure. Like most social stinging insects, the baldfaced hornet will aggressivly defend their nest, and due to their large size and ability to sting repeatedly, an encounter with bald faced hornets can be quite painful and if a person with insect sting allergies is stung, can be life-threatening.
