Eliminating a Bald-Faced Hornets Nest in Metuchen, NJ
We were sent out to a home in Metuchen, NJ to handle a hornet situation. Once we arrived, we realized that these stinging insects were 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!
Using our extendable pole, we treated the bald-faced hornet nest with a knockdown aerosol application. A short while later, we also injected a knockdown dusting application into the nest. Both of these treatments will quickly exterminate the bald-faced hornets. After some time had passed, we removed the nest, disposed of it, and applied a liquid non-repellant residual to the soffit. 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.
