Bald-Faced Hornets: One of the Most Aggressive Stinging Insects Around

Have you ever seen a large gray paper nest hanging from a tree, shrub, or the side of a home?

It may belong to a bald-faced hornet.

Despite the name, bald-faced hornets are actually a type of aerial yellowjacket, known for fiercely defending their nest.

⚠️ Why are they dangerous?

• They can sting multiple times because their stinger doesn’t detach like a honeybee’s.
• If their nest is disturbed, they may attack in large numbers.
• They can chase people for 50 feet or more from the nest.
• Stings are painful. For anyone with a severe allergy, they can become a medical emergency.

🏡 We commonly find nests:

* In trees
* Shrubs
* Under eaves
* On soffits
* Attached to homes
* Around sheds, decks, or playground equipment

🚫 Please don’t knock the nest down or spray it with a garden hose. Disturbing the nest can trigger a defensive swarm.

If you think you have a bald-faced hornet nest on your property, it’s safest to have it evaluated by a professional
