Which is why I won't be filming it.

There are 2 small hornet's nests and 1 bigger one on the eaves of my house. The 2nd floor eaves.

Gotta get a can of 'bug-b-gone' and spray them. While standing on a ladder.

I just hope none of my neighbors film it and post my dumb, possibly stung numerous times, ass on youtube.

Eliminate the ladder and get some wasp freezing spray that will squirt several feet. Doing the deed at night is also safer.

The have a jet spray made especially for wasps and hornets. Usually is works pretty well.

That being said, I'd pay to see video of the results.

Calm down, when is the last time you recall Mac or anyone else here, actually following sound advice?

RE #11

Yup.

Wasp and hornet killer spray. It's a different insecticide than normal bug sprays, much stronger and I believe it's petroleum based (something about penetrating the hard body shells on the wasps and hornets) and it shoots about 20 feet. They make a foaming and and non-foaming version - non-foaming shoots further, foaming expands on contact to fill voids (ie: inside the hive)

Potts, if you get a copy of the video, LMK, ok. I'll do the same and let you know if I find anything.

The wasp spray has chemicals that evaporate quickly and chill/freeze the wasp. This slows them down long enough for you to get away and the poison to do them in.

with the addition of flame it is much more effective

I gotta agree with teedubb here. In fact, NOT using fire in some capacity would make me wonder just how gay MACS is.
