I used starter fluid without the fire for some hornets that made a nest in the ground under a piece of plywood I lifted up to throw out. After they stung my ankles about 20 times and I got away from them. Turns out the started fluid basically melts their wings! they dropped right out of the air. I went back later and poured gas down the hole and lit it though! No more hornets!
