The best of getting rid of this killer bee is call an pest control exterminator and it's really required as you call them as soon as possible or else even it can hurt some one. http://www.yalepest.com/

Original Post: Killer Bee?!

I have never seen such a big bee or hornet around here before - its much bigger than our bumbles. I wanted to put something next to him for scale - but I didn't want to lose the shot - and, I confess, he scared me!

A workman was here yesterday and said this type of hornet is very aggressive and goes for the eyes, nose and mouth instantly!!

He literally seemed to be hiding his face when I was trying to get a shot of it - then he started walking toward me! He was weak because he was probably banging against the window all day (I know the feeling) - so was slow.

Anyone know anything? This is in Michigan, USA.
