Found a Hornets Nest

[l_tedford]

Found this beat the other day and brought it home for decoration. The nest gas full of bald faced hornets so I put it in the freezer. Can anyone tell me how long it needs to stay in the freezer to kill all the hornets. I have read many articles on the web and most say the hornets leave the nest and die. I proved that wrong as it was full of them.

Have you tried engine starting spray or nitrogen? Will displace oxygen.

[l_tedford]

Don't want to use a liquid because I am afraid it will harm the nest and make it fall apart. Haven't thought of nitrogen.

how about the trusty microwave oven?

[Tonykarter]

Yeah, ether is probably not the safest choice. My bad. I was thinking spray it into a rag in a garbage bag and put the nest in there, squeeze out the excess air. Nitrogen the same way. Or you could try reasoning with them...

Just like they said but set outside in plastic bag. Put something toxic on a rag with it. Should kill them. I know folks that swear by gasoline.

Come on over Matt with the camera. Remember the saying you don't have to outrun the hornets just outrun Matt. Ha. We both could win some money over this one.
