The bald-faced hornet is a black and white hornet that you can find hovering close to the ground. These hornets are common across the United States.

If it is white and black it's called a Bald-Faced Hornet which are common to northern North America as well as the Rockies and the West Coast.

Hornets should be killed with a very strong spray. Do not attempt to break the nest down as this will cause a swarm of angry hornets.
