Not likely they’ll rebuild. Many wasps and bees ‘get stuck’ for the night if bad weather or darkness hits and they can’t make it home while the sun is still out. These guys simply camp out and wait till the next day and return home. They’ll die off soon enough but be careful–they can still sting.

I found a basketball sized nest growing under my deck (right below my
favorite chair!) I sprayed the nest at night, knocked it down a while
later and burned it… the next morning there were many returning to the
area under the deck– could they be rebuilding??? I don’t understand
why, if the nest is gone, they are returning! Help!

Love it! I too can’t really do it at night so when I say “nerves of steel” that’s when you know you have em. Good job!

My first time taking down one of these nests was something. I was terrified so i put on the suit and grabbed my dust stick. It was during the day (don’t really have the option for night time assault). I used 3 links on the dust stick because that’s all i could handle for a pin point attack. I pumped that thing full of dust. funny how the hornets attacked the dust stick. so i just lowered it to the ground and came back for it about a half hour later. cut down the nest after the activity settled

I’ve dealt with these quite a bit & I STILL get nervous even with a full bee suit on.

Those are some seriously huge nests! I myself have never seen one that large and really hope that I don’t have to.

I asked if I could have that nest–I was going to send it to you for your talks with kids– They hung it in their den…. I’ll keep looking though

I remember well the number of times I had to wipe out a nest of bald faced Hornets, NASTY was the word. I never would do one without a bee suit and sometimes that still wasn’t enough. I really like that you warned people, I’m constantly telling people that DIY on Africanized Bees and things of that sort are strictly a No-No. Call a Professional like The Bug Doctor or ProBest Pest Management – we have the knowledge and the tools. Plain and simple…
