How to kill Hornets?

So a hornet has decided to start making a nest right on the ceiling above the front door to my condo. It looks like it's just a single hornet and a nest the size of a large acorn. But I don't want it to turn into a whole bunch of hornets that terrorize everyone who comes to my door and I gotta watch out for getting inside my place. I like bees, but hornets; fuck hornets.

Now since it's just 1 big ass hornet and a small nest I'd feel embarrassed to call my HoA to get an exterminator over for something like this, I figure I can do it myself. But never done this before and need ideas.

I thought about using a rake and just smacking the hornet+knocking hive down but I feel like this would be a very bad idea because the hornet would probably fly away and then come back for vengeance for his murdered hive since he knows where I live.

I thought about getting some bug killing poison spray but I'm a little worried that when I spray it on him and the nest at close range that before he dies he'll get enraged and rush to stab me which I don't want. I mean I could spray and dart back into my place shutting the door, but hornets move fast so I don't know if I can beat him.

Another option I have is shooting it with a high powered hose, but I dunno if a blast of water will kill the hornet and if not he'll come back for vengeance.

Any suggestions on how to safely remove this threat from my front door ceiling?

That or call exterminators.
 
Since it sounds like it's really small, you could try to crush it against the ceiling.

And then get it down and stomp on it while spraying it with an AXE flamethrower.
 
Never feel bad about killing hornets. If you stick your hand in a hornet nest, you get stung. If a hornet flies into a human nest, then it gets squashed.

Poison is the way to go. They don't get enraged, they just fall down immediately. If he's mad about being wet, he's already dead.
 
Alright, getting spray after work today then will attempt to shoot him and his hive down. If I don't post again, I missed.
 
I have the same shit with them taking mud and living around my deck. I shattered my wrist a few years ago and it hurt less than the stings from these bastards. Walmart carries a trap that looks like a bag with a funnel at the top that has worked well for us for flies, bees and hornets. I would look into that and just be careful around them. They attacked my 4yr old a few years ago too and she got 12 stings all around her stomach and arms. I fuckin hate hornets more than any other out door bug fuckery that I can think of.

Gotta love posting anything on the internet dealing with spiders or bugs in general. Tons of funny and informative posts saying fire and leave and nuke from space. Goddamn its like the net is nothing but lame rehashed memes.

It's not close range. The stuff that's made specifically for wasps and the like has like a 20-foot stream.. you could be halfway across the yard. There's also no "before he dies".. most of those kill on contact, he'd be dead before he even knew you were spraying. I'd do it this way myself.
 
m80's plus a metal rake that had buring newspapers in a small box stuck on the end. did this when i was in 9th grade to a hornets nest that was on my grandmothers shed. it was glorious.

looked something like this

If it's freaking you out that much, just knock the nest down while the hornet is away. It will either move on, or build another nest, at which time you crush it. I mean, really, it's just a single hornet. GAF seems to get its panties in a bunch over nothing.
 
Wasp and hornet spray basically turns into a poison foam. Ive used it on wasps and they just fell right out of the sky when they got hit by it. If you want you can then drop a rock on them to make sure they are dead.
 
They look so helpless when they are seizing up in their death throes after you shoot them :( I normally feel bad and smoosh them.
 
attack under cover of dark. napalm, concussion charges, and then hit it with a phone book from 1980.

Poison. There is no such thing as using too much.

this. A blue wasp broke into my kitchen yesterday, but it was stuck in the window behind the curtain. So I just waited until it crawled into the open then *toxic mist pyromancy* spells all over. This is Dark Souls, bitch!!1
 
Craft an arrow of Elder Tree bark, phoenix feathers, and a mythril tip. Coat the tip in a tincture of serpent humors and "Moon Blood". Be sure to only fire said arrow from a bow strung with lion's gut.

Your aim must be precise, but with a lot of focus and a bit of luck you should be able to bring down a single wasp with this method. Taking on a whole colony is suicide, of course.
 
I watched a film a long time ago that had a kid get killed halfway through by hornets. It was very sad though I can't remember what it was called.

Anyway OP, stay safe :)

In all seriousness, if you are worried about the hornet, wait for it to leave. Then use a strong hose. The hornet will come back and make a nest elsewhere.

Otherwise, spray with poison and let the hornet die along with the nest. Then, still use the hose to remove the nest.

This. Kills instantly. Kills the whole nest and the eggs. They'll fall to the ground the moment it touches them. PEACE.

Edit: true story. I was riding my scooter and a hornet flew up my shorts. It stung me all over my balls. I couldn't get it out until I got to my client's and ran into the bathroom. Worst day ever.
 
If it's just one hornet in an acorn-sized nest, don't be scared. Spray the nest with Raid or whatever from a distance while the hornet is there. It's easy.

Make sure to do it at dusk or later to make sure any and all hornets living there have returned to the nest.

My Girl? I think that was bees though...
 
Wasp Freeze is great at killing most types of wasps/hornets, but the easiest solution is to simply knock it down with the end of a broom. Then step on it, and hope they decide to build elsewhere next time. Also, any wasp or hornet fuckery should take place in the evening hours when they are less active and more likely to be in the nest when you proceed with said fuckery.
