I turned around the other day on the south side of my house and came face-to-face with a bald-faced hornet nest just a bit smaller than a soccer ball. Didn't get stung because I didn't swat at 'em or run away. Just sloooooowly backed away.
Thought about getting on a rain suit, gloves, and face shield at 5 the next morning and holding the nozzle of a hornet spray can against the hole in the nest until the can was empty. And after giving it much thought, called a professional.
He showed up in a bee suit and held a can of hornet spray against the hole until the can was empty, LOL! "That'll be $129, sir" I smiled and paid. No stings, no more hornets, and no obituary.
