Hornets are aggressive when disturbed and their stings can cause serious allergic reactions. XtermaPro safely removes hornet nests from your property don't attempt this yourself.
The bald-faced hornet is Ontario's most common hornet species black with white markings, and significantly larger than yellow jackets. They build large, papery, football-shaped nests in trees, shrubs, under eaves, and on the sides of structures. Bald-faced hornets are highly aggressive defenders of their nest and will sting repeatedly if threatened.
Signs of a hornet problem:
Bald-faced hornets can sting multiple times and will mobilize the entire colony to defend their nest. For individuals allergic to insect stings, a hornet encounter can be life-threatening. Nest removal without professional equipment and protection is dangerous.
Our technicians treat hornet nests using professional protective equipment and targeted insecticides that neutralize the colony. Once the colony is eliminated, the nest is physically removed where accessible. We advise on deterrence to prevent future nesting.

Hornets are most active June through September. Nests are started by queens in spring and grow through summer, reaching peak size in late August.
This is strongly discouraged. Disturbing a hornet nest without proper treatment provokes a mass attack. Always call a professional.
