Forget about spraying.
Just wait until late fall or winter when it gets cold. The hornets will die
and then you can remove the nest.
I had a big European Hornet's nest in a tree and brought in a professional
exterminator. That's what he told me to do. Worked perfectly. The hornets
died in the winter and never came back in the following years even though the
nest was still there.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Hornet Nest on the End of the Boom - How do you safely get
rid of this?
This is a first at my station.... a large Hornet Nest on the end of the Boom
of my lowest Hygain 105CA (5L 10 meter Yagi) on my 100’ Rohn 45 tower.
The nest is located on the underside of the end of the boom (24’ long) and 1st
director, which puts the nest about 12‘ from the center of the tower and 23’
above ground.
Does anyone have any experience successfully dealing with this situation? I
would appreciate learning how you killed the hornets and got rid of the nest
without getting hurt or doing anything dangerous.
Tnx & 73
