Bald-faced Hornets questions from Champlain Valley residents
Bald-faced hornets are highly defensive of their nest and can sting repeatedly. They may attack anyone approaching within 10 feet of the nest. Professional removal is strongly recommended.
We strongly advise against DIY removal. Bald-faced hornets have guards watching for threats and can mobilize the entire colony quickly. Our technicians have protective equipment and proper training.
We treat at night when hornets are inside the nest and less active. This ensures we eliminate the entire colony. We then remove the nest to prevent any returning hornets from rebuilding.
Colonies die after the first hard frost. Only mated queens survive to start new colonies. Removing the nest and monitoring for spring activity prevents new colonies from establishing.
