Been using 7 dust for 10 years, very successful, especially where you don't want to throw gas. I don't know if they die or leave but they are gone the next day.Last hard to reach one I had got a fistful of seven dust. That is no joke.
It kills them, it is deadly, that is why beekeepers don't want folks to use it on their garden. They get it on them pollinating plants and take it back to the hive and they are done for.Been using 7 dust for 10 years, very successful, especially where you don't want to throw gas.

I have not seen a black hornets in 3 years though, where are they?
I stopped shooting skunks.
Haven't had a nest in the yard or immediate vicinity in years (knock on wood)
They were SLM, Skunk lives matter.I started shooting them when I found out they weren’t paying the lease and found 2 different yellow jacket nest.
Those ground nest sure did provide a lot of entertainment when I grew up. Me and my cousin would find a nest, get on each side of the hole with a pine branch in each hand and start swatting. The first one to run lost. Our intent was to kill them as fast as they came out of the ground. I really don't remember getting them all.
Long as you have that light off you are golden.Had a friend stir up some ground bees one night when we were running the coon dogs in the summer around corn field. He started hollering running towards me. I cut my light off and finally got him to cut his off. They stopped going after him the time his light went off. Never heard of them bothering anybody at night. We want far from a creek. Had already decided if he keep running my way after the first bite me and my 2 dogs were hitting the water
First bear in mind I am allergic to insect stings. Back in my drinking days I was drunk enough when we were canoing the New to get out with a buddy and throw a rock and hit a hornets nest. Of course they came after us and we went running for the canoe. We jumped in and capsized it. I went downstream and about drowned but my buddy that stayed with the canoe looked like he bad been shot with buckshot. LOLVannoyboy, you ain’t right! You couldn’t pay me enough to get stung on purpose. Who usually won? Bet the “winner” became a loser as well once your partner in crime stopped swatting.
I did throw rocks at a hornets nest……once. Ran around the side the house after I hit it. Thought I’d try again and got lit up. Never again!
I’d rather drown. Screw a buncha hornetsFirst bear in mind I am allergic to insect stings.

Tim don’t get me wrong I like you just fine. But we definitely woulda gotten along good in “them” days too. I thought it was a good idea to shoot bottle rockets at one. Was it the dumbest thing I’ve ever done? No. Was I sober? Helllllllll nawFirst bear in mind I am allergic to insect stings.

We went flaming arrows at one.Tim don’t get me wrong I like you just fine. But we definitely woulda gotten along good in “them” days too. I thought it was a good idea to shoot bottle rockets at one. Was it the dumbest thing I’ve ever done? No. Was I sober? Helllllllll naw
Now you got me second guessing myself. Maybe it was Roman candles, not bottle rocketed? Might have been both. Dang whiskey . The world will never knowWe went flaming arrows at one.
EPIC!
Nothing like that flight or fight response being engaged.Checked my daughters stand yesterday. Down near where I will put the feeder there was a wide dug up area. Got closer and saw white dots moving at the bottom in the center. Took a second to register it was hornets. I can still move quick if I have to I guess. No stings. Gonna visit tractor supply this week.
If I had a high pitched utterance I didn’t have any witnessesNothing like that flight or fight response being engaged.
My yellow jacket flight response is usually accompanied by a high pitched siren of successive obscenities.
