Then again if they are on your front porch, and could potentially threaten your families safety this I must concede that it would be the smartest thing to do.

The nest is only about 4 inches in diameter so I'll get my husband to kill them off before the nest gets larger and more populated.Shortyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195198876287540850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013316887660017880.post-79083790232693056372010-05-21T19:05:09.984-05:002010-05-21T19:05:09.984-05:00I do not blame you, I love insects and I am fascin...I do not blame you, I love insects and I am fascinated by wasps, but I would not want a large hive in my front yard around children, pets or guests.Shelly Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367843308248195970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013316887660017880.post-56575163405828674972010-05-21T18:52:15.246-05:002010-05-21T18:52:15.246-05:00Yeah fortunately my yard is a decent size that the...Yeah fortunately my yard is a decent size that the tree it was in was away from where people are, but I still didn't want to take any risks. It definitely was not as large as the one in the photo, but once I found out it could get that large I found a pest control company on localpestcontrolservices.com to come out and get rid of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013316887660017880.post-2397684863284480272010-05-20T18:17:43.981-05:002010-05-20T18:17:43.981-05:00Stoellergirl I can't imagine having one of the...Stoellergirl I can't imagine having one of these large nests in your front yard. They are fine in the timber away from people, but in your yard would be an entirely different experience.

Knocking down a hornets nest is an act of bravery ( or stupidity...LOL) if you don't wait until winter.I would have loved to have seen my sons face when those dozen hornets crawled out of the nest in the front of the truck.
