We had a bees nest started near the eavestrough . I took a Wal-Mart bag filled with other plastic bags and hung it on the clothes line near the nest….. within 20 mins. the bees were gone never to return.
I’ve done this twice so far with good results…

One sure way to find out if they are aggressive or not….climb up there and poke it with a stick. How about let’s just say we did and don’t. Let them do their thing. They are up in the air away from everyone so let them be. You don’t go around kicking every anthill you see, so why mess with the Hornets. My 2 cents worth.

I recently had a nest of bald faced Hornets over my garage door. Every time the garage door went up or down, they would swarm my car and “ping” off my windshield. They were extremely aggressive! I had to have the nest removed by a professional.

Contrary to earlier comments, the baldfaced hornet is aggressive, and will defend its nest robustly.

Don’t mess with this nest.

I imagine they appreciate the warmth from the transformer. Or the electric cooperative appreciates the free, albeit slight cooling the insects provide.

There are some very aggressive species of hornets/wasps which can be provoked with very little effort. Some are threatened just by your proximity to the nest. Some send out “pheromones” to their nest-mates, warning them of your presence and putting them on the defensive. Some can fly pretty darn far at pretty fast speeds in pursuit of you. Please, please always exercise caution around these guys!

Those are bald face hornets and believe it or not are pretty non aggressive of course if you poke a stick at that nest they’ll get pissed but noise and other usual things that make them dont really bother these guys. The ground nest the other commenter stepped on were probably yellow jackets and their a whole different breed very aggressive hate noise etc. No this nest will probably deluver zero stings this summer and will be vacated first frost then birds will rip it up abd eat it.

I accidentally stepped on a ground hornet nest and immediately got stung by about 10 of them this weekend. When they attack, it’s on. Beware and be careful.

Hope they don’t adapt to use that electricity. Electrified hornets
