Nest: Bald-faced Hornets? #873437

Asked June 17, 2024, 12:43 PM EDT

Need the paper nest to be taken down (it’s near the front door). Would someone like the nest (e.g., for a classroom). Also, willing to pay for the service (our house is near Rockville High School).

Montgomery County Maryland

Expert Response

That is most likely a bald faced hornet nest. You will need to contact a pest control company if you want to have it removed.
