Unsuspected Homeowner Gets Stung by Bald-Faced Hornet in Morganville, NJ
As this customer in Morganville, NJ was working out in his backyard, he noticed a rather large hornets nest on the side of his home! Since he is a Home Protection Plan customer, he called up Cowleys, and we were sent out. After equipping our protective bee suits we took a closer look at these insects and identified them as bald-faced hornets. Bald-faced hornets are social stinging insects that have white markings on their face. They're EXTREMELY aggressive and territorial. So aggressive that if anyone or anything comes within close proximity of their nest, they will attack!
Using our extendable pole, we liberally treated the nest with a knockdown aerosol application and then a knockdown dusting product. Both of these treatments will exterminate the bald-faced hornets quickly. After some time had passed, we removed the nest and disposed of it properly. Lastly, we applied a liquid non-repellant residual to the area where the nest was. This will neutralize any bald-faced hornets that return to this area and prevent them, and any other stinging insect, from building a new nest.
