The Pest: Baldfaced Hornets. . .
Baldfaced hornets are largely black
in color, with a mostly white face.
The nest: Baldfaced hornets build aeriel nests out
of paper carton. The nests are usually in exposed locations, often
on trees, utility poles, overhangs or other structures. The nests
can be quite large, growing to 14 inches in diameter and 24 inches
in length.
The threat: Baldfaced hornets are considered
beneficial insects because they control many pest insect species.
However, if their nest is located near a structure, control is
warranted.
If you're concerned that you have bald-faced hornets near your home or place of business, give Dave a call at 1-800-400-6009.
