What Are Bald-Faced Hornets?
Bald-faced hornets are aggressive aerial stinging insects that build large gray paper nests above ground on:
- trees
- bushes
- roof overhangs
- sheds
- utility poles
- decks
- playground equipment
Although commonly called hornets, bald-faced hornets are actually a type of yellow jacket.
Their nests can contain hundreds of hornets by late summer and become extremely defensive if disturbed.
Why Bald-Faced Hornets Are Dangerous
Bald-faced hornets aggressively defend their nests and may attack when:
- lawn equipment vibrates nearby
- tree branches move
- people walk too close
- nests are sprayed improperly
Unlike bees, bald-faced hornets can sting multiple times.
Large nests near:
- entry doors
- patios
- decks
- sidewalks
- schools
- playgrounds
…can become a serious safety hazard.
