After decades of screwing around with sprays and gasoline this is the only thing needed. The powder isn't fast-acting, so hornets that get powdered spread it to the rest of the hive. It actually took the fun out of it. You don't need to dust the hornets, just where they walk or land.

You have to attack them fast at night. They will attack and keep sentries even in the dark......I found out the hard way. They aren't like yellow jackets. Pour some gas and quickly cover it with a metal tub or bucket and run.
I "located" a nest of ground nesting yellow jackets yesterday while while weedwacking a path to one of my ladder stands. Only got stung 3 times but damn them things hurt!! Went back last night and sprayed a whole can of expanding foam ground hornet spray into the hole. After about an hour went back out and sprayed a good bit of charcoal lighter fluid down hole and lit it. The flame flickering out the hole for near 10 minutes was quite satisfying!!!
No fires here, please. Pine forest. Wasp and hornet spray after dark is the trick. Take a partner along who’s likewise armed. Attack without mercy! One of my favorite YouTube channels is “The Hornet King”. Caution: That site is addicting!

I found that out the hard way who tf would think yellow jackets would be out at 11pm
Black hornets from my experience are the cheetah of the bee family yellow jackets don’t say jack scchit to black hornets they will chase your ass down like kamikazis every time it’s happened I was in boxers and crocks nothing else
Blew a hornet's nest off of a tree limb with a shotgun 12 gauge #6 load 3 inch. Fortunately, it was about -10 degrees that day. They did not fly very far.
Oh, that's easy then. Spray some wasp and hornet killer in a plastic trash bag, then after dark walk up to it and slide the bag over the nest and cinch it up tightly around the branch with a zip tie. Come back in a couple of days and they will be ded.
The guys in the field baled up a nest of bumble bees (probably on purpose, the bastards). The bees took great umbrage at this, but they realized that the perpetrators would be beyond their reach once they disentangled themselves from the hay. Given this, they delayed their counter assault for when the bale in question had taken its ride up the elevator into the barn where it became the responsibility of the poor fool up there attempting to not die of the heat while he was filling his respiratory system with dust and chaff. At this point, the poor fool became aware of something poking at his ankle. A quick inspection revealed that the ankle in question was covered with furry yellow and black bodies. It was at this point that the pain kicked in. A medical conference was held and the conclusion was that the ankle should be soaked in the somewhat cool water of the stock tank. By the end of the day, the ankle had achieved impressive size. A good night's rest resulted in the owner of said ankle being completely unable to stand on that foot. Ah, the memories. (For this, and other reasons too numerous to list, I hated, and continue to hate, baling)

There is no branch it’s laying on top of the ground I’m not fuuuccing with zip ties and trash bags I have better use for those pics to follow this week on the strike
These ain’t in a hole in the ground it’s a paper nest on top the ground prime candidate for fire
Figured that out after I posted... but I still do them the same way. That Hornet spray I get from Home Despot can spray about 30 feet and kills almost instantly so I use it on both kinds of nests regardless of where they are... seems to work great, I've only been stung a couple times in several years of daredevil Hornet tasing...
Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.
