Identifying Bald-Faced Hornets


Bald-faced hornets are easily identifiable by their striking appearance. They are predominately black with distinctive white markings, including a white face, which sets them apart from other stinging insects.

Nesting Habits


These hornets exclusively nest outdoors, constructing gray, semi-round, upside-down teardrop-shaped nests. Mature nests can grow to significant sizes, housing large colonies. You’ll commonly find their nests in exposed locations, such as in shrubs or trees, or under overhangs around your home.

Aggressiveness


Bald-faced hornets are known for their extreme aggression. They are highly protective of their nests and will sting repeatedly if threatened, making professional removal essential to ensure safety. Contact Midwest Bee Removal today for more information.
