Observation
Remotus is quick to spot these striking insects. Bald-faced hornets are large, black and white wasps, easily recognizable by their white faces and predominantly black bodies. They build large, papery nests, often found hanging from tree branches, shrubs, or under the eaves of buildings. Remotus advises you to keep your distance from their nests, as these hornets are highly territorial and will aggressively defend their colony if they feel threatened.
Outlook
Remotus understands the potential danger these hornets pose. Bald-faced hornets are known for their aggressive behavior and painful stings, which can cause severe allergic reactions in some individuals. Their stings can be particularly dangerous if multiple hornets attack at once. Remotus emphasizes the importance of professional removal of their nests if they are located near human activity, to avoid the risk of stings. Treatment usually takes a few days to a week, involving the safe removal of nests by professionals and the application of insecticides to prevent their return.
Gateways
Remotus knows where they prefer to nest. Bald-faced hornets typically build their nests in elevated, sheltered locations, such as trees, shrubs, or building overhangs. They are attracted to areas with abundant food sources.
