I have a tuck under garage/basement. Turned the lights on the other day and went down there (didn't open the garage door), went up stairs and came back downstairs to hornets buzzing the lights. These are the big boys and I've confirmed that these are bald faced hornets which are safe until you threaten their nest and then they are killers - they will swarm and attack en-mass.
I haven't been able to figure out where the nest is. I 'think' it may be down one of the cinder block holes at the top of the wall where the first floor floor-joists sit. I was going away for this last long weekend so I hung a strong bug zapper in the garage after cutting away a lot of the protective outside grill so these big boys could get to the light. I came home to maybe 50 dead ones. Doesn't seem to draw them in as well as I had hoped.
Looking forward to your ideas. Thanks.
I see them going to several places between the floor joists at the top of the cinder block wall. I'm thinking of bundling up and stuffing fiberglass insulation down those holes. I might hit that stuff with hornet spray before stuffing it in. But spectracide spray has little affect on these hearty beasts.
Local exterminating companies beg off once they find out the nest is probably inside the house. Anyone else have any other ideas how to find or kill these thing? I need to be able to use my washing machine and it is just below this area.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
