I’m not a fan of chemicals, and I usually let bugs do their own thing - but I keep a can of Raid Wasp and Hornet killer around just for these buggers.

They make a RAID that is just plant extracts but kills things just as dead…
Nice language.
In defense of hornets, they generally just do their own thing. They don’t need anything from people, and don’t stoop to stealing pie and lemonade. Once I saw a hornet land in flight on a butterfly. Within seconds, the hornet had ripped off left wings, right wings, given it a lethal bite and hauled the butterfly body off to it’s nest. That is the stuff they live on, and they can look after themselves just fine, thankyouvery much.
They are really fearless, courageous little buggers, with well-organized, clean nests with appointed watch-hornets on the lookout. But they are also just *not afraid * of people. They generally leave us alone, But if humans go after them, they fight, and I sometimes imagine them all wearing little japanese headbands and going “banzai!” as they take off, death and glory-kamikaze-style, for their final attack. Gotta admire them, in a way.
