Nature appears to be winning...

She always does.  Plus she can wait us out.

They're in league with the birds.

Yup.........
 
hello mr Jbow, so you think it's fun to shoot my friends do ya ? Have some of this. Gotta love nature fighting back :)

I went back today and got the nest. It is on my porch. I know where another one is that is near four times as big. I am going to kill it and bring it home too. This one it about 20' up in a magnolia tree hanging out over a street, I suggested to the lady that we wait until a freeze but not now... I am going to kill them and bring their nest home. Payback!
 
I have dominion, I am going to exercise it.
I'll post pics when I get it.

 That was bad enough, but my uncle being the southern gentleman he was, knew of the best remedy there ever was, oh god yes. Chewing tobacco, wet chewing tobacco and lots of it. The idea is to chew it then spit it on the affected area (my face in this case). It's supposed to draw the poison out. I think I had a whole bag on Red Man on my face.

Any tobacco. My mom used to break open one of her Belairs, chew some of the tobacco from it and apply it to my bee stings. It worked.

I always used baking soda.  I'm not sure I'd want to look like a spitoon.

They wont win, they got in a sting... I got the nest. I'll get the other one too.
I am a paid killer. I am good at what I do. I don't mind taking risks, no risks... no success.

I did a google image search for hornets and it scared the crap out of me.  I was worried I'd have a dream with some of those gigantic ones I saw pictures of!  There's NO WAY you'd get me near one of those nests...

I was over confident with this nest. I was using a 1 lb plastic bottle of Drione dust. Not much came out on the first try and I reached back in the holly to dust again.... I killed them but one got me. I should have backed off when I saw that they were stirred up but what the heck. I kill yellow jackets with the same thing.
 
Then I am the same guy who will not use glueboards because I have seen where rats have pulled half their skin off getting loose. I either use a snap trap or a live trap. If I live trap them I let them loose in the country at a dumpster. You just cannot leave a big hornet nest in a backyard 6 ft from the kids trampoline, it isn't safe and someone has to do it.

shouldn't you try and smoke them at night time?
