Sounds to me like its time to whip out the ol check book and pay a professional
yea, i've contacted a bee removal service, and depending on the type of hornets, the guy will either charge me, or sell the bees to research place for their venom!

the only danger the bees are is they are seriously on ground level, a foot away from the yard where they can easily attack me, my wife, my daughter, or dog.
i spoke with a bee exterminator, and they told me to use a red lens flashlight, since they will not see it and would be attracted to any other light. i'll be using raid tonight, i dunno if the birds will even get near the corpses

I'd value my family and dog over birds... so good call.
If that dog got too close and you weren't around, they could kill him (or her).
+1...I love my wild birds...and feed MANY...BUT my dogs are my main pets (well after the cats
)

Fire and nerve agents!...the only missing thing, from that equation, is alcohol! haha
You have kids and pets to worry about. If it were me, I'd get a bunch of friends over, a keg 'o beer and play whack a mole and laugh at whoever got stung. lol
AquaKnight and I would get along great! haha

Option #1:
Throw something big and heavy at it and run like hellll
Option #2:
Set 'em on FIRE and run like helllll
Option #3
If #2 fails, proceed to throw a bucket of gas onto the fire....
Dude, I thought I told you not to put pictures of me on the internet!

I know sounds like fun. All we need now is a home made flame thrower...
Personally, I'd get some raid and hit them. If you really wanna be careful, buy you a bag of Levi Garrett. Then if you get stung make yourself poultice with the chew. It is the best stinging remedy there is. When I get stung that will remove swelling, and itches within an hour. And the next day you can't even tell.

did the deed last night. I had called a bee exterminator, and he wanted $150. i said no way, so they gave me a hint on how not to get stung:
bees cannot see red lights, but will swarm to a white light.
so... out came the trusty red lens flashlight i use on my tank every once in a while hehe.
I'm glad i did it last night. the nest fell apart from being soaked, but there was a very large honey comb in it full of larva. if they had hatched, i'd have been in a lot of trouble.
i was swarmed still though, but by mosquitoes... those things should never have been allowed on the planet...

Do like me and my friends used to do, when we were kids.
We found a huge nest, next to my parents garage, one time. We also found these huge, 2" thick wooden curtain rods my mom was throwing away. lol...you can see where this is going already.
We'd take turns, with these big curtain rods, running by and whacking the nest. The trick was to keep running, once you whacked it, so they wouldn't get you.
Well, I started a little too soon, after a buddy hit it, because by the time I got to the nest, running at full speed, they were waiting for me.
I got stung 7 times, in the face...4 of those times so close to my eye, it swelled shut. lol
I say go that route...and take vids!!
did this with a buddy but we used golf clubs. the nest was almost 3ft tall and about a foot thick. we didnt stand a chance outrunning them

I would of got a long metal pipe. Insert the pipe into the hole and spray ether into the hole and lit it. Watch that burn and blow up.
