    Default Hornet's Nest

    Got any suggestions for getting rid of this? Wish we had a flamethrower!

    Bald faced hornets!! At least that's what builds those in oklahoma. First good freeze and they will be gone. Flame thrower would work if you had one!

    They won't be gone away Vonna they will just go dormant in the hive! If it freezes in your area like others have said slip a garbage bag around it after making sure there is no activity around it. Seal it up tight, find the hole in the bottom of it through the bag and empty a can of hornet killer into it. Once you are sure all the hornets are dead, open it up and shellac it, they sell for a pretty penny sometimes for decor for cabins and lodges.

    Get this: Raid Wasp & Hornet Killer - Walmart.com

    Wait until it the sun sets, (getting dark), spray the nest liberally with spray.
    By waiting until "dark" the wasps have retreated back to the nest for the night.
    Check the next day for flying hornets, if none knock down nest and you can dig a hole and bury it.

    Heavy Frost and there still could be a few survivors.

    A buddy and I took one out of a tree with temps around 50 degrees. They could crawl, but they couldn't fly.

    Okay, the pinata thing was really funny!!!
    We'd wait til frost but it's in Charlie's favorite potty tree and fairly close to the shop too. It's hanging low enough that Paul could bump his head on it. Temps are supposed to get down in the upper 40's Friday and Saturday nights, so I guess it'll hang til then before eradication begins!
