Bald-faced hornets are large and aggressive wasps with a wide distribution throughout the US. Like other wasps, these pests have smooth stingers which they can use to repeatedly sting anything they deem a threat, likely just for wandering too close to their nests. When a colony of bald-faced wasps establishes a nest on to or close to your home, they pose a safety risk to you, your family, and your pets.

Depending on where in the US you live, bald-faced hornets may go by another name like the white-faced hornet, bald hornet, blackjacket, white-tailed hornet, spruce wasp, or bull hornet.

Unlike other wasps and other species, which are typically black and yellow, bald-faced hornets have black and white colorings. They grow to a larger size than most yellowjackets, with the workers growing up to 15 to 20 mm or longer.

Bald-faced hornets will establish nests at least 3 feet off the ground. They can build nests in tree hollows or branches, shrubs, roof overhangs on sheds or houses, utility poles, underneath eaves or soffits, and against man-made structures like chimneys. The nests tend to be round, enclosed structures with a single opening near the bottom.

To get rid of bald-faced hornets on your property, you’ll use a combination of insecticides like Stryker Wasp and Hornet Killer, D-Fense Dust, and Sylo Insecticide. Stryker Wasp and Hornet Killer will knock down bald-faced hornets quickly, D-Fense Dust will treat and kill them as they leave and enter the nest, and Sylo will protect the surfaces of your structures from further pest activity.

Stryker Wasp and Hornet Killer is an aerosol spray made with prallethrin that delivers a quick knockdown to bald-faced hornets & their nests, and it has a long reach of up to 20ft. Simply shake, point, and apply the product to the nest. Spray until the nest is thoroughly wet, and make sure any pests attempting to escape make contact with the spray. Though the spray can reach up to 20 feet, it is best to spray from 6 to 15 feet away from the nest for accuracy. We recommend you wait until evening or night to treat a nest, since wasps will be resting inside their nest during that time.

D-Fense Dust is a dry insecticidal dust made with deltamethrin that will treat bald-faced hornets as they attempt to enter and exit their nest. For nests established inside of structures, use a handheld duster to apply D-Fense Dust directly into the void or nest opening. Be sure to cover the entire perimeter of the opening as you apply the product at the labeled rate of 0.5 pounds per 1,000 square feet of treatment area. Do not treat overhanging nests.

After you’ve treated the nests around your property, you’ll make a barrier treatment with Sylo Insecticide to prevent any bald-faced hornets from re-infesting your structures. Spray a 0.1% emulsion of Sylo. You can do this easily by mixing half an ounce of Sylo with one gallon of water. We recommend you use a hand pump sprayer since you’ll be spraying around the perimeter of your structures.

Once your solution is mixed, apply Sylo around the exterior of your home and other structures. Treat along spots where bald-faced hornets would build nests like along eaves, underneath porch ceilings, and around voids into the structure. This will leave a residual application that will help prevent wasps from re-establishing nests for up to 90 days.
