That seems unnecessarily long and convoluted.
Ummm...
OP, if you decide to do this, make sure to face the can away from your face.

Question... is this a military report, or does is this woman just an ordinary news anchor? Seems odd to wear a military uniform, doesn't it?

CCVT-7 channel was shared by military and agriculture as they post those news, the woman was a military host, she is a service women and do the new reporter's work.
You have to be really careful, especially with ceiling nests, but boiling water is a beautiful way to kill them.
I've also heard a pan of water plus some dish detergent, making it really soapy, will coat their wings so they can't fly off, then you just stomp them. But I'm of the kill it with fire (water) sort.

I had a wasp nest recently I needed to get rid of. I waited until it was night time so any wasps associated with said nest were there, resting and unaware. Snuck up on them and sprayed them with poison. Killed all of them and saved me from being stung. This is my recommendation. Use the darkness, it is your ally.

Really, noone?
Fuck wasps, I've been stung by those fuckers many times as a child.
Run away and they'll chase you and get you.
Swat them away or smack them if they land on you = they'll sting you
"just sit still if one lands on you and it'll fly away" said my dad
No I tried that, it just sits there finds a good spot and then stings you hard. (works 100 percent of the time for bees though they don't come looking to sting you to begin with)
Bees are harmless, wasps are overly agressive assholes you don't have to come near their nest to get chased or stung, they'll go after anything including the dog.
Kill it before there's a whole nest of them OP , they'll get you right through your jeans too.
Fucking pests
These days if I see one I just turn around and walk away, if it's near a door I have to go through then whatever is on the other side of the door can wait until the wasp is long gone.

Yup. Get some Raid, hit 'em dead on and you're gold.
I've been stung on the arms a few times, but on the balls? OUCH.

Raid. Make sure to get the "fast kill, low irritant" kind. It's in the blue can.

Enlist the help of your local bee hive. They hate hornets and wasps just as much as you do. Form an alliance with the bees, they will never betray you. I have lived in peace for generations with bee-bro-, I mean bee-brobets?
In all seriousness Raid works wonders. Fire is a last resort.

Serious answer:
99.1% of this product is labeled as "inert" [EPA: It is important to note, the term “inert” does not imply that the chemical is nontoxic] and purposefully obfuscated. often these inert ingredients are subject to lax, short term, or nonexistent toxicity testing in relation to both humans and overlying ecosystems. a good commentary on this:

Just spray the nest witn an over the counter anti-hornet spray. Do it in the very early morning or late evening after it has cooled down and the hornets are inactive.
I almost got blinded by a wasp in middle school. I learned how to flick rubber bands one day. So when I got home I took one of those giant packaging rubber bands and shot it at a small wasp nest above my bedroom window. I took out the nest in one shot, but one wasp survived, and I still remember my momentary elation turning to sheer terror as an image of an angry wasp grew large in my right eye. I turned to run, but it struck me twice on the lower eyelid, just SD I closed my eyes. I slapped myself in the face to hit it, and then it chased me around the house...TWICE. My eye swelled shut and was puffy and I looked like I got punched in the eye for s few days.
Since then, I learned a great respect for the wasp. They're actually kinda interesting to observe as they're usually making their rounds for nest materials. Chewing on different kinds of wood, even door frames to later regurgitate to build their nests. You can observe them pretty closely without issue. The thing is, you never know when one is gonna go off the reservation and sting you. They're assholes like bluejays.
Hornets I never had a problem with other than that scooter fiasco. I'm in Florida, so these bugs abound. Hornets and bees seem relatively harmless, while wasps are just dicks. PEACE.
Yeah an AA-12 with grenade rounds while Richard Machowicz whispers in your ear about how awesome it is should do the trick.

Yah Raid has some fucked up shit that disintigrates hornets. I used it and literally saw them vaporize or something.

My mom is the only one brave enough in my family to take out a hornet nest. What she does is she goes out at night, smokes it for a bit (the smoke knocks them out) and then whacks it with a broomstick and runs like hell.
Then nobody goes outside for awhile.

Do your best to maintain the fragile peace you've found with the Hornets...
But prepare for the inevitable confrontation accordingly.

This works like a charm.
Just be careful of the drones patrolling who will sting anything in the area once the nest is under attack. :/

Possibly one of the best threads in the history of GAF ... I suggest OP reads all of it before taking action.
Hornets are part of the Wasp family.
Serious answer:
This
Spray it like crazy (from a safe distance) on the nest when as many of them as possible are there and in a few seconds they along with all the larva will plop down dead on the ground.
Had a small nest out by my grill for awhile. Slammed the door behind me a little too aggressively one day and they started fucking shit up. Raid took care of it.

Trap it's nest in a box, then smoke them to sleep by breathing cigarette smoke into the box, after which, open the box and steal their honey.
do not do any of this, have an exterminator fuck them up.

That's why you're supposed to do it at sunset or even at night. They're not active at night time.

Use the spray, then plant 4,000 trees to make up for the hole in the ozone layer you just created.
I found a massive nest in an old bbq once. I bundled myself up like I was heading into a blizzard, and then went to work.
No stings!
Then I doused the nest in gasoline and burned it. To be sure.

I did the same, except the gasoline part since the nest was on the roof under the soffit...took out the pressure washer and made the wasp nest explode at 2800psi, there was nothing left.
I loled. I wonder if anyone has actually done that and recorded it.
About three summers ago Hornets found their way through a little hole in the brick outside of my bedroom and made a huge fucking nest literally in the wall of my bedroom. From there they could come out of an air vent and into my room. I could hear dozens of them buzzing inside my wall constantly, and woke up with 2-3 flying in the room every day for like a week.
Eventually I got some expanding foam poison shit, covered myself from head to toe in heavy clothing, gloves, a hood closed tight and a towel covering my entire face except my eyes, which were covered by my glasses. I used rubber bands to close any loose areas they might fly up into my clothing from. I took a long, narrow, flexible plastic tube and attached it to the foam spray bottle. I found the little hole in the brick outside, shoved the tube down, and emptied the whole fucking can. It was a massacre. Dozens and dozens of hornets dying. Some tried to resist, but my makeshift armor was immune to their ass daggers. A few escaped and flew away, but I did it at sundown so most of them were in the nest and trapped. The poison did the trick, and I could hear the buzzing of them slowly dying throughout the night coming from the wall in my bedroom. It was furious buzzing at first (BZZZZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZZ!), and it got slower and slower, coming in shorter and shorter spurts (bzzzz...bzz...bz...), until I could hear the last bit of life extinguish from the hive. Never before or since has the sound of so much death been so satisfying. It sounded like victory.

I was living in this apartment complex years ago. One morning I got into the shower and proceeded to scrub my balls or whatever when I see a wasp in the shower. I flipped out, like jumped and tripped and ran like hell. I get all dressed and suited up for wasp duty. Go In and see 3 more.. Umm ok I kill them. ( cardboard tube of death btw ) 10 minutes later my buddy starts screaming that there is a wasp near the sink. I grab my wasp"o"matic tube and murder another one. Then see 3 more. Shit is getting real I kill those fuckers then notice probably 4 more.
At this point I yell at my friend to get the gas ( raid ) I'm staring to get overwhelmed but holding my own. Like matrix shit In my bathroom.
Just as he hands me the raid I notice them swarming in from the little gap around the handle in the shower. Fuck.
I pull the handle out and unload an entire can of raid into the hole while screaming for duck tape. My buddy tosses it just as the can exhales its final mists of death. I sealed the hole and took a step back. I counted 23-24 wasps.
Called the landlord who said he sealed a crack on the side of the building and he thought maybe there was a huge nest inside. I suppose they moved around inside the building until they found the opening.
Moral of the story cardboard tube + Raid = win
