Descriptions of Bald Faced Hornets, Wasps, and Yellow Jackets:

  Bald-faced hornet-(Wiki)Dolichovespula maculata is a North American Wasp commonly called the bald-faced hornet, white-faced hornet, or white-tailed hornet. Its well-known features include its hanging paper nests and the females' habit of defending them with repeated stings The bald-faced hornet belongs to a genus of yellow jackets in North America, but unlike many congeners it lacks yellow coloring. Instead, it is called a hornet in the American sense of a wasp that builds paper nests. The nests can be the size of footballs.

  Wasps-(Wiki)-Any insect of the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita that is neither a bee nor an ant. Almost every pest species has at least one wasp species that preys upon it or parasitizes it, making wasps critically important in natural control of their numbers, or natural bio-control.

  Yellow Jackets-Yellow jacket is the common name in North America for predatory wasps of the genera Vespula and Dolichovespula.Yellow Jackets are easily recognized by black and yellow stripes – "Steeler" bees.

• Regularly inspect your property for Hornet, Wasps,and Yellow Jacket nests. Nests can be found on the outside of your home, the ground, trees and bushes.

• Wear a good pair of shoes outside. Stinging pests are known yo build nests in the ground. This can help prevent your feet from getting stung.

• Look for holes and burrows on your property. Fill in any holes or burrows on your property.

• Avoid floral perfumes, lotions and hair products, which may attract stinging insects.

• Choose your clothing for outside wisely. Light-colored cotton clothing is best. Avoid loose-fitting clothing and white or bright-colored clothing.

Pest Control Removal Solutions Of Bald Faced Hornets, Wasps, and Yellow Jackets:

• We wear a Protective bee suit so our entire body is covered.

• We use Aerosol to the exposed nest with quick knockdown material

• If nest is hidden then we apply an insecticide dust into opening( look for flying insects going in and out of a crack in house or hole in soil)

• Insects get dust on their hairs. While grooming and cleaning themselves at night they consume a lethal dose of the dust, killing the nest.

• We remove the nest. If the nest is in a tree or bush we cut the nest down.

• We throw the nest into a thick plastic bag and seal the bag.

• We dispose of the bag once we know the entire nest and colony is dead.

  There are high number of stinging insects in a nest along with their aggressive nature and multi-stinging capabilities, so it is extremely unwise to try try to remove a nest on your own. You need the aid of a pest control professional to keep you and your family safe.
