Hornet nest

Have one down at the "farm". Goggle claims the nest is empty late winter. Anybody know for sure? Thanks

Hell, I had a 190 parts tractor down over the hill, went down there, heard buzzing , they had built a nest under the fender!!! Got out of there fast!! Isnt there a bird or something that will tear them apart too???

Real men would just throw a rock at it and find out! Approve

I am still confident of this;
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27

Lou : My cousin told me if you put salt on them they cleared out .
Grand dad had a old car down on the farm we played in sometimes - - but bumble bees had built a nest in the cotton seat stuffing making it no longer a play area
Tried the cousins remedy to situation to gain play space - bees did not appreciate it
I will say Grandma's remedy of mud packs over sting areas works a lot better than cousins idea of clearing out mad bees

Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

My method is to use 2 cans of spray, one in each hand, start spraying at the bottom hole with 1, and start with the other one when you see activity. Coons around here get them when it gets cooler, if the nest is near the ground... Wink

Update. Found out that there's 2 hornet nests not far apart. We got one yesterday, other one still has a few occupants. Maybe later. Thanks

Thanks Dave. Didn't know that

Oh,,how I hate them Hornets,,,,

Since we do not have Hornets down in SE New Mexico I had never been stung until,,,,one year we went to visit in-Laws in Nort Dakota,,,I learnt how mean and obnoxious and very short tempered those rascals can be,,,,,

My in-laws had an electric TV antenna that had hung in one position and he asked me to see about going up on roof of house to break the antenna loose,,,,

SO,, Her younger Brother and I climbed up on roof and I was jerking on the antenna ,,,,,when we heard the dangest sound coming from antenna,,,her brother yelled,,,HORNETS and run and bailed off the roof,,,,well,,,after the first sting right in the center of my back,,,I too bailed off that roof,,,thinking I had been shot,,,!! That was like a red hot poker and I started to hurt So Bad where I had got bit and after just a few minutes,,,they had to take me to ER as I had a welt bout silver dollar size and fully a dime sized hole where the skin was just fluffing off. Dr gave me a shot of something for the allergic reaction I was having,,,,!

After several hours,,they finally turned me loose.

That night after DARK,,,I went back up on roof,,,with a coffee can of Premium Ethyl gasoline and doused the nest and done it again for good measure,,,sounded like gravel hitting the roof,,,but NO MORE HORNETS,,,,and that right there is the Troot,,,,,!!!! Clap

worst sting I ever got was a European hornet. It's a solitary wasp, and it stung me on the back of the neck, about an inch or 2 below the hair line. I thought I was growing a second head... Shocked

Had cousin move to Idaho, his brother still farming here in California started buying equipment there bring it back here. Some kind hornets ended up moving with the equipment.

Some of the more or less picked over pieces ended up coming to my place. Bringing hornets too. I opened tool boxes and other stuff at night to get access to spray them. Found out local raccoons or possums thought they were real tasty. One poor old HD5 that has had a dozer on it has broken transmission case ( some worthless piece of human debris should be hung for the abuse). The crack is 1/2 wide , the hornets loved it. I had no idea how to kill those off, so I just left it.

After a month no more hornets. The only thing that we can come up with the local population of yellow jacket meat eating bees must attacked them. As by the end of summer no more hornets anywhere. Yellow jackets are no fun, but if you stay out of their nests in the ground no real problem. Also found you can slow them down with boric acid put on fruit as bait. The you tube said you could kill them all. Well that did not happen but even 50% less is good win for the price.
