I have a set of three wooden steps resting on concrete outside a door. The
structure is completely enclosed, but with lots of cracks where hornets can
get in and out.
I am afraid to try to remove any of the boards to gain access. I can stick
a tube into the interior through a crack
At night, I tried pouring a small amount (all I happened to have) of
ammonia through the tube into the interior yo see if the fumes would kill
them or drive them out. It didn't happen.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
I'd use spray made to kill them. It works.

nest??

Drill a 1/8" (or whatever) hole to stick the spray straw through. Or
just shoot through the cracks.

One cannot stand on the steps or even get too near them without being mass
attacked as per the painful experience of two family members. I am afraid
to drill a hole.
