Hornet Nest

[Jack Forester]

So I have a rental property that needed it's fence repainted. I head over there to get my worker started, and I notice the grass is tall on one half of the yard.  We start weedeating the fence line, so we can paint, then the tenant let's me know that there is a hornet nest in the bush, and the have just been avoiding the area.  I let them know that they should have just sprayed it when before it got big...  Did I mention it was larger than a basketball???

I happen to have a bee suit from my three years as an unsuccessful beekeeper, so I suited up.  Sprayed it with 2 cans of wasp bomb and returned the next day (letting the tenant know to avoid the area).

Came back the next day to see the hornets enjoying their home as if nothing happened.  I suited up again, but this time armed with  foaming wasp bomb and a stick.  I foamed the opening, then foamed the top, poked a hole in the side, foamed the stick, removed stick, inserted spray can tube and foamed the inside, until they flowed out the bottom. 

Success!

I had to open it up, just to make sure it was dead:
