    He's destroying the nest, but the hornets will just build another. A better use of the suit may be to bring boiling water to the nest at night and not only get rid of the nest but the hornets as well. Pouring molten aluminum in for a piece of art work is an option, but they're not as pretty as an ant nest.

    Hornets bees wasps are also fascinating creatures so many 1000's of species to choose form

    Some are friends while many are considered foe. ranging in size from 0.0055"(Chalcid wasps) to having wing span of nearly 11.5cm (Megascolia procer)
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    Not had any dealings with hornets but with wasp nests find petrol (gasoline) WITHOUT matches does the trick. Cautious preparation of entrance and blocking any extras during daylight. come night stick length hose into entrance and seal with turf, use a funnel to pour petrol into hose and then remove hose a seal hole. very rare that they dig out from underground nest. petrol fumes much better than flames. nests not underground take more cunning and extreme caution about igniting fumes.
