Gladto hear the dogs are doing better, and that you have ice on your stings. Hopefully you can get that nest completely removed.
EDIT: Nude concern for TOP!
Ice! Great idea! I need to get that trap from the back of the shop and set it up on our deck. It amazes me that they will fly in, fall into water and drown. Derp derp.
I'm concerned that you're nude.

Ummmmm..... yes I have an extra Yeenoghu, and an extra Dispater. I promised them to my best buddy Malcolm, but if you absolutely needed one I could check down at my buddies shop in the next few days.

I will take this wisdom to heart, Master.
Yeah, I hear you on the doubles. Everybody has things that it makes sense to hoard and others that you're like, Dammit, I already have one of them! My nephew has gotten uber-mini enriched over the years thanks to this. Also, I once surprised a dude in Canada. Maybe next semester I can start collecting again, if income improves, and I can think of my Fawtly friends, in keeping with the good examples around here.

Just remember when going after the nest, hornets have poor eyesight but an incredible sense of smell, they find threats by targeting the carbon dioxide that is expelled when a creature breaths out. In other words, hold your breath until you're done, then just turn and walk away. You should avoid getting stung if you do. Ground hornets can be a little trickier, walk slowly and softly towards the opening so as to create as few vibrations as possible to alert them of a incoming threat to the hive.

I suppose pouring gasoline at the base of one of the deck supports and actually lighting it is a bad idea, huh? :-(

Good to know. These are in a ground nest by the concrete base of a deck support. They were really cheesed off this morning. How long until a nest settles down again? I think I stomped a couple on the deck and that attracts more. :(
EDIT: Shoot, if we're on the deck at all, the vibrations must go right down the post into the nest. That means we have to come around the long way and our closest retreat is effectively blocked. :(

I'll send it off late tomorrow night, so Scott can have it in his hands Monday morning.
The current version has Amby's suggestions? I saw another announcement of an updated document.

And it is good to know that stings neither help nor hinder migraines. You know, in case I have that issue in the future.

We think so, it looks like a hole at the base of one of our deck legs. We've got some hornet spray too... Hmmm.

That would be why they are so riled, the constant vibrations have them acting as if the nest is under constant threat. I would check and see if there are any good bombs available for them at your local hardware store, baring that go for a liquid treatment and soak the little bastards to death. I HIGHLY recommend Bee Bop products, if you can find it in anything but the aerosol can, aerosols won't really help in you situation.

We got the nest in the taillight of our car by going in at night and getting them in a cross-spray. But this nest is in the ground where the dogs roam free. I hate to use poison.

About as secure as anything on the Internet I suppose. You have be invited to share with another person's dropbox. You have to set up a username and password.

Good to know man. I was concerned that we had a hornet's nest at my old place and I always wondered how to get rid of them. How long does it take to kill them with the liquid method? And does gasoline really kill them?

Most treatments for ground wasp are going to be Permethrin based products, they will not leave a residual past a few hours. In other words keep them away during treatment and until area is dry, and the puppies will be fine. It's what I use in my home and we got the two cats, and a rabbit, and rabbits are very sensitive to chemicals. :)
