[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1711067, member: 21194"] I've probably related this story here before, but twenty-something years ago when I was working bees in and around Moffitt, North Dakota the local bar had a little 3-sided barbecue shed out back with one of those nests up in one corner. One afternoon the owner and a few of his buddies had been drinking enough to get brave and decided that was the day they were going to get rid of those hornets. One of them got a can of wasp spray and soaked the nest with it. Then another one had the bright idea to use a cigarette lighter to set the nest on fire to make sure they got all of them. Apparently it didn't occur to them that wasp spray is highly flammable. They burned that shed right down to the ground. The good news is . . . they [I]did[/I] kill the hornets. [/QUOTE]
