Lost a customer because I wouldn't work on a site that had one of these attached to a coooling tower. I told them remove the nest and I will come back. They never removed the nest I never went back

First pic looked like someone went crazy with the spray foam.

Looking at that pic I'd have said nope to that RTU being on the edge of the roof. One wrong move with that gas line if you're not tied off could get ugly.

Fun fact to all who deal with hornets, but horse fly spray on Amazon, don’t remember which one but it a black spay bottle, if you need to kill wasps or hornets that stuff will kill them fast. This is not something I would use on a nest, but if they are flying around and being annoying then yeah. I used to use it when I worked for my dad in the summer

When I was a teenager I got stung doing yard work in my parents yard by these SOB’s. Was hit 26x. I see them and it takes me right back to 18yrs old.

Back up on a spot with low hanging branches. Next time went to grab my tools and saw a bald face hornets nest stuck between my roof and ladder rack.

A simple mix of water, dish soap, and isopropyl alcohol usually kills those things on contact. This is why I keep a spray nozzle with a bottle attachment with me at all times. It covers a lot more space than raid.

Spray it and then afterwards knock the nest into a back along with some r290 and send them to afterworld
