Pro tip: My old way of dealing with a hornet's nest in a tree was... not smart

Back in 2018, I used to just spray a whole can of wasp killer from the ground and hope for the best... which usually ended with me running. The turning point was a job in Springfield where I got stung five times before even getting my saw started. Now, I wait until dusk with a proper bee suit and a shop vac with a long hose extension to suck them right out of the nest cavity. It's slower, but way less painful. Anyone have a better method for those high-up nests in hollow limbs?

Yeah, I had good luck with a foam sealant after dark. Just plug the hole and they're done.

Foam sealant is a temporary fix at best. They'll just chew through it or find another way in. You gotta find where they're getting in and block it for good.
