Just stand there for awhile and watch. If there's a nest, you'll see the hornets coming and going. After you've identified the entrance you can spray it with wasp-hornet killer.

How did you come up with such a Classic Common Sense, Text Book answer to dealing with all Social insects??? Just think of how many gallons of Diesel fuel it would take to soak into the ground to control Ground Hornets and how much fun you would have pouring out those 55 gallon drums. Plus you would have a pernament solution to insect control in that area. Do they make Skid Sprayer for Diesel Fuel????

BTW while everyone should carry a can of Wasp & Hornet Killer, Dusts work well on hives because workers will fan fresh air into the hive all night long. Extra Fine dust like Boric Acid will travel to the Queen and gain control easily not that Wasp and Hornet Killer won't work most of the time. But the Tree Huggers will like the Boric acid because it is also used as an Eye Wash and Food Preservative.

I was joking about using diesel fuel.

I wasn't Joking. Diesel Fuel is a great insecticide - Herbicide. Why weed eat when you can just soak the ground with Diesel fuel. I think you should post about it's fine Qualities in the Save the Wales Forum.
