I have a set of two 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 because they
are very aggressive.
In a previous post I was asked for pictures. You can see them at:

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Dust where they go in and out with a little sevin dust. They will take
it into the nest. It may take a week but this is abou the easiest way
to get rid of them. If you can gently blow a little under the steps
with a vacuum cleaner that good too.

I've had success with that on yellow jacket nests when they get behind
the siding. They get some of that Sevin on them and contaminate their
nest with it.

Buy a couple of cans of Wasp and Hornet spray..(NOT the foam) Put on a
hooded sweatshirt(put the hood up),gloves , eye protection and jeans or
heavy pants..Gently tie a 20 foot piece of rope to the steps..Pull the steps
out where you can get at the back of them where they are open so you can see
the nest..Get a helper if you think it's to heavy for you...Run like hell to
the car or other safe area till they calm down...Usually an hour or
so...From inside the house you probably can see the nest or where they are
swarming..Use binoculars if needed....Wait till dark then comence the
chemical attack wearing the clohing already mentioned..Use a flashlight to
identify the nest..TURN IT OFF BEFORE SPRAYING...Spray again the next night
if needed...Put steps back...Good Luck....

Looks like enough openings to hit with the canned wasp spray. Just
squirt in. It will knock down any hornets exposed immediately with
little danger to you. If you can find nest opening, one shot may be
enough to do them all in.
