How to terminate hornets using cold water in under 5 minutes!

House call at a friends house... hornets already stung both homeowners. The hornets had to be relocated quickly before tragedy struck. Skip to 3:45 for nest removal. The soggy hornets were humanely transported to the freezer for a quick painless end.

[@Mudkip971]

Hornets be like: "How carless of us, we did not anticipate sideways rain."

[@dennismadigan2023]

Why does everyone attempt this during the day? All you have to do is wait till sundown after they all go into their nest for the night, spray some engine starting spray in the hole, or wasp spray then a can of " great stuff" foam. All done

[@dennismadigan2023]

@Mike Grover I use the engine starter first, it has ether and knocks them out. Then I use the great stuff

For safety I would mix soap with the water so that they can’t fly after being sprayed. You can use a fertilizer spray atomizer to mix the soap and water. Then put a power nozzle at the end to blast the nest to pieces like he just did.

[@marcs3982]

Get some soap- dish washing liquid, or laundry detergent . Put in pump up sprayer or gaden hose sprayer. The soap breaks the surface tension of the water, allowing it to suffocate the insects, as they breathe through their skins, or exoskeleton.

Ive had this experience with the dreaded ‘White Face Hornets’, you have to kill every one or they will come back and rebuild. Ive had it happen to me, I hit them with raid in the late afternoon and I apparently left a couple of survivors, they rebuilt the empire in one day. You have to hit them at night when all of the hornets are in the nest. After I saw the empire had returned, I hit them again around 9 at night, they all flew out of the hive punch drunk dropping like flies, nothing but bodies in the morning. I hope you got them all because just one will rebuild the entire empire. I agree with Bitwise Magick, take no survivors. LOL

None of them followed the water and tried to sting you? I personally would have waited until late at night, when most are on the nest, cool and docile, and hit em with some kind of "kills on contact" long range spray, but what you did seems to have worked very well.

Obviously you have never dealt with a bald-faced Hornets nest, with 300 nasty ladies living inside. They are very very aggressive. The slightest vibration will send them into attack mode

[@rayfl502]

We use to double up pro grade garbage bags and then in one quick motion run up and cover the nest quickly being careful to get it covered completely in one move. We would then take the bag and drop it into one of my neighbors trash cans and close the lid while running away at the same time. The neighbor that got the bags was very deserving of it.

[@echodelta9]

After bagging it put it in an Amazon box carefully cut open and sealed shut and leave on porch.

[@daverodkey]

Does NOT "terminate" the hornet or wasps, it just relocates them to the floor or ground while wet and they are PISSED. They dry and can fly withing a few seconds so you better be close to a door. This DOES however eliminate their nest, which gives them nowhere to go but to YOUR house for a couple days...

[@daverodkey]

Starting fluid (ether) is the fastest possible death for them or any other insect... it is INSTANT ! Just don't light a match or make a spark for about 15 minutes. If you do.... BOOM !

[@daverodkey]

Put the little "straw" on the ether nozzle and shoot the nest good it will kill the ones in the nest in a minute or so. If you can give it a shot up in the hole on the nest... Spray contacting them is INSTANT death. NO spark, flame oe heat sourcefor a while, that includes cigarrettes, etc.

[@dberrimi9]

Years ago, after paying an exterminator $100 to spend 5 minutes injecting the nest with terminal powder, I bought a bee-suit of my own and have been knocking down wasp, hornet and bee nests on my own, usually with a $3 can of "hornet killer" from the local drug store. You do it at night, after they're all in the hive in a slumber. You nail the nest and inject that spray right into the nest and the next day you're good to tear it down. At worst, you have to do it a 2nd time. Saves a lot of time and money, not to mention water damage, fire damage (for those who burn them), etc...
