FLOOR SHAMPOO IN A COMPRESSED CAN. SHAKE THE HELL OUT OF THE CAN AND SPRAY THE SOAP UP AND AROUND THE HORNETS. WHEN THE BEES LEAVE, SPRAY AROUND YOURSELF TO KEEP THEM AWAY AND THEN SPRAY TILL IT OOKS DESERTED. THEN SPRAY THE NEST
YOU MAY HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN THE NEXT DAY.
THE SOAP MELTS THE OUTSIDE OF INSECTS.
Of course Aquanet hairspray and a lighter work well too.
laundry or dish detergent in warm water will do quite well

Just be careful with Hornets. If they are actually hornets they are the meanest things that fly!

3 bucks for a can of spray, no mixing, just shake, point and squeeze. What do I do with the soapy water once it's mixed ?
Try to throw it 20-30 feet straight up and hope I get it on them ?
Besides a can will last a couple years when you use it 2 or 3 times a year. Money well spent.
Never had a problem with it removing paint or harming any surface.
There's NO WAY Rick has a can of rug shampoo! Even if he did he wouldn't use it on his house! Heck, can't even get a brush and paint on that.
Another white man's curse.
Yup the sprays are quite effective....... IF you know where the nest is. Living in the middle of hundreds of acres of woods is great, just makes it harder to track down hornet/yellow jacket/red wasp nests.
Just shoo 'em away and say "go away, little brother"
