Bald-faced hornets are no joke. 🐝⚫️⚪️
These large black-and-white “hornets” are actually a type of aerial yellowjacket, and they’re known for being highly defensive if you get too close to the nest. Their paper nests are often built high in trees, but we also see them on eaves, sheds, and along rooflines.
Signs you may have an active nest nearby:
✅ Lots of hornets flying in and out of one area
✅ You notice them hovering around the same tree/roofline daily
✅ A gray, football-shaped paper nest (often partially hidden)
If you suspect bald-faced hornets on your property, don’t try to handle it yourself—give us a call and we’ll take care of it safely.
