Good Grief,
I was mowin' my three acres on my lawn tractor. What a battle. I got stung by those damn ground hornets a total of 14 times from three different holes. Watch out, the bees and bugs are out. Almost makes me want to move to a high rise. Goin' on a secret raid tonight with Hornet and Wasp spray. The little bastards die!

Your two ears and what other hole?Originally Posted by KK4AMI
Sounds like you have yeller jackets. I don't know of hornets in the ground.
Once you have yeller jackets, you will pray for hornets to live and break bread with you.
The hornets came "from three different holes" in the ground, I didn't get stung "in three different holes" ouch, just thinking about that! :)

You might be right, I'm not a stinging insect expert. The bites are really burning my skin now.

First of all, I am assuming that you do not have bumble bees. I do what I can to protect bumble bees and avoid them. They live in the ground.
Secondly, I take a kettles of boiling water and pour on the holes in the yard (whew) at night. They don't come back and no chemicals. IF IT IS yeller jackets, chemicals are useless to fending those little bastards off. Those bastards are immune to anything I spray short of a direct hit, and they are so numerous, you cannot directly hit them all.
Yeah. Boiling water. No chemicals.
Find the holes during the day and pour the boiling water at night. Messing anywhere near those holes during the day will get you attacked. They maintain a periphery of defense around their hives and that periphery is most absent at night, and they are pretty well snug and tucked in at night.
Kill off a few hundred for me.
Pour a gallon of gas down each hole and stand back and toss a match. Enjoy the show.
A very, very effective defense against any flying, stinging insect is hair spray. Just one quick spray and they can't fly -- the spray fucks up their wings. Probably not very effective against an army of them, but very, very good against just a small number. Plus, it's not poison like those other sprays and works immediately.
AND -- you can get back at them. A flying insect that can't fly is totally defenseless. You can pick 'em up with pliers or something and pull off their wings watching their stingers going a mile a minute in panic. LOVE to see that -- those MFs have stung me and some friends with no provocation at all.
If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
