Default bald faced hornet nest - how to remove?


"zootal" wrote
I have discovered a bald faced hornet nest in my garden. It is about the
size of a softball so far, but growing. My daughter has already bee stung
by one of them. I'll tolerate paper wasps and honey bees and mud daubers,
but these things have to go. How can I get rid of them without getting all
stung up. Can I just hit them with horner spray after dark? Or will they be
active enough to come after me even after dark?

==
I sprayed/saturated a large--no, huge--nest after dark and none came after
me.
I was standing as far away as I could get and close to my back door. I had
already
been attacked by this swarm and wasn't taking any chances. Next day there
was no
movement from the hive. They were done.
