I understand, but if he finds the exact nest and takes nesesary safety precautions, he can get right up inside there, blow that stuff all over the nest and hornets themselves, and kill just the hornets.
*shrug*

Ive never personally had to deal with wasp or hornet infestation, I just think theyre nasty.

If its way up in your attic (and theyre burrowing through your walls or something), then spraying the entrance isnt going to do much since they could probably find another way out.

I would probably consult with the local conservation office, animal control, or pest control (if you can find one thats nice enough to give you ideas instead of saying "we can do it for this price but you cant do it yourself"), first, get some ideas on how to take care of it "eco friendly" and cheaply.

Then if you cant get the nest out by yourself they usually get bigger during the fall and then taper off because of the cold climate changes.
Then just wall up the place and the larva will most likely die.

Although, me personally, I hate them very very much and would probably call Vex Con (from the A&E extermination show.. tattoos and gothic clothing lol). XD

you don't know me-so don't judge me

Please why are you being so rude.
I for one would like to read different options for yellow jackets, not just your answer and rude remarks.

Tread lightly my friend. This was a thread created by Rich and I would advise you to do a little homework on who he is before you make comments on burning his house to the ground. I would also advise you to be careful how you respond to other members (and moderators) or you might find yourself crossing too many lines. If your comments become overly trollish and not helpful I assure you that your time here will be limited.

There's a saying like that for bike parts: "Strong, cheap, light- pick two."

Okay, back on topic!

you could go to army surplus and get a flame thrower
