Need help with ground hornets

[DUCKGOGETTER]

Just talked to my father-n-law and he told me that he was cutting the grass on the road at our blind and he ran over a ground hornets nest. He said there was 100's if not 1000's of hornets and some how by the grace of god he didn't get stung. My question is i don't even know where to begin to get rid of these things, and to be honest with you i really don't even want to handle it myself. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

GASOLINE pour it in the hole when they calm down

[southern151]

Park the mower on top of it while blades are spinning for a few hours?!

There may be more than one hole . Put a garbage can over one hole and pour deisel down the other.

X2. Dump about gallon in the hole they are coming out of. You can beat them back with wasp spray enough to get up there and find the hole. They HURT WAY WORSE THAN A WASP STING. Good luck

Find the entrance to their underground nest. After dark, when they have all flown in for the night, spray wasp and hornet killer into the hole. Some people say they put a window screen over the hole so they can't fly out and then spray the hole. If they don't all die spray again the next night. I got popped by one Monday while weed eating around a tree. They do hurt worse than a wasp! I have seen where armadillo's dig up a nest and eat the larvae.

grow some balls man. Heres a simple solution to your problem. Dust yourself with ant poison and spray them with carburetor cleaner. I swear this works

Put a black bucket with soapy water or burnt motor oil next to the nest. Supposedly they will fly into the bucket thinking it is the next. Old farmer told me about this, never tried it myself. I've done gas down the hole and thrown a match. Better watch where you are standing though, you'll find out soon enough if there is any more holes connected to the nest.

Saw a guy on the job one day walk up to the nest with them flying everywhere. He was eating a apple pie at the time. He just put the pie is his mouth and pour a few gallons of deisel down the hole. Then lit it on fire. How that crazy son of ***** did not get stung. I have no clue. Was funny as hell to watch. We just knew they were fixing to sting the crap out of him, but not even one sting. LOL

Gas em and make sure to video it!

I hate those things, I worked in landscaping for a summer and every single week I would find a nest it seemed like. Like said above you need to wait until night when they are all in the nest and then get after them. Gasoline or diesel will both work. No need to light it or anything the vapors kill them. You may want to bring a can of spray as you are walking up to the nest to kill the ones guarding the hole, but I have never been stung by just walking up to them and pouring gas in the hole. If you shine a light on them they will know you are coming! Place a flag or something by the nest so you will know. If you have any kids at the camp they would probably like to take on the challenge! or find the camp drunk to do it!

Years ago when my son was a young boy he rode over a nest on my property riding a 4 wheeler. Got bit about 25-30 times....very painful.
Like the others said, wait till dark and pour gas down the hole. Worked for me.
