are we talking ground hornets are above ground nesting? when I was a kid we ran over a ground nest bailing hay. it was with a doors and windows open tractor. We got attacked and had to bail out of the tractor leaving it running at full throttle with the hay swather running as well. my dad got a leather jacket, gloves, 3 pairs of pants and rescued the tractor. We had to come back with the sealed cab tractor, ran the front tire over the ground nest back and forth, then soaked it with diesel.

for hard to reach hornet nests in trees etc. we used 12 gauge 8 shot and blasted them out of the trees.
