[TowerTalk] Hornet Nest on the End of the Boom - How do you safely get rid of this?

[Keith Dutson]

No doubt advice from experience.

Hornets are bad stingers!  I use Bengal wasp spray to kill them.

For stings, I use Benzocaine.  The local pharmacy carries a product named Sting-Kill, which has disposable ampules that fit nicely in a shirt pocket.  Each ampule is tipped with aa applicator swab on the end.  Just break the ampule with fingers to get the swab loaded with Benzocaine.  I discovered these from a friend who managed the motor pool of a major natural gas company.  He and I were motorcyclists, and we always had ampules for long trips.

    Can't help you with being stung but put some Adolph's Meat Tenderizer on the sting and the pain will be gone within minutes! There's an enzyme in there that takes care of the problem.
