"Bald-faced hornets are aggressive and will attack anyone or anything that invades their space. This makes bald-faced hornet removal somewhat difficult. They have smooth stingers, so they can sting over and over again. Their stings also carry venom that makes the stings hurt, itch, or swell for about 24 hours."

Last night around 9 I snuck out dressed in twelve layers to empty a can of hornet killer into the nest, as the hornets slept.  I did not see a sentry as I sprayed into the mouth of the nest.

This morning I went back, added another half-can into the nest before burning the bodies.
