Default bald faced hornet nest - how to remove?

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?


BFH are good night fliers so don't have anyone actually holding the
flashlight if you attack by night. If the nest is free hanging you can
quickly cover it with a trash bag and break it off inside the bag.
