You have seen these at the Farm. We could not wait for frost

The most unnecessary pest-control expense in America.

THE NEST: Bald-faced hornets (Dolichovespula maculata — actually a yellowjacket, not a true hornet) build the classic gray, football-to-basketball-sized paper nest hanging from tree branches, eaves, and shrubs. Built entirely from chewed wood fiber mixed with saliva.

THE LIFECYCLE: Spring — a single overwintered queen starts a nest the size of a golf ball. Summer — the colony grows to 400-700 workers. Late summer — the nest reaches maximum size and produces new queens and males. Fall — new queens mate and disperse. FIRST HARD FROST — the entire colony dies. Every worker. The old queen. All of it.

THE KEY FACT: The nest is NEVER reused. Not by these hornets, not by next year's queens. Next spring's queens build brand new nests in new locations. The old nest degrades over winter and falls apart.

THE DECISION: If the nest is in a high-traffic area (over a doorway, next to a play set, near where you mow) — remove it professionally, because bald-faced hornets defend aggressively within about 10 feet and can sting repeatedly.

If it's 15+ feet up in a tree at the back of your property: LEAVE IT. It's already on a countdown. In a few weeks it's an empty paper sculpture. Many people cut them down in winter and keep them — they're genuinely beautiful objects.

THE VALUE: All summer, that colony hunted flies, caterpillars, and other insects to feed larvae. Thousands of them.

Don't spend $400 on an eviction that frost handles for free.
