Just two months ago I had a reroofing job done including gutters.
Apparently at the juncture of the roof and gutter hornets have found a

direct view the power spray hornet killers have had no effect. With
this nest near the back door I'd really like to see them gone.

Any suggestions before I consider calling in the pros?


This may or may not work for you.
Last month I had yellow jackets in my soffits. I mounted a 6 inch muffin
(high speed) fan (Radio Shack) on a 2X4 and propped it up 6 inches from
their entrance. As they flew in and out, they got sucked into the fan and
chopped up. Within a day there were none left. I was than able to climb a
ladder and give the nest a dose of poison. I used a puffer filled with
Drione poison


I'll let you know if I succeed as well. The idea makes sense. I had a
120VAC fan available and mounted it this morning. One thing for sure at
the present they definitely aren't happy about it.
