Default Hornets

We've got one in the office, and not the honda kind. Real nice

Anyone know how to get rid of them? It's a big bugger!

We've got a nest right outside, so if we upset this one, they'll all come out to play!

Have used a can of brake cleaner, a sparkler and an air rifle to take out wasps nests before. That's quite spectacular.
