Use soapy water in a standard garden sprayer.  Concentration about what
you'd do your dishes in.  Spray the hornets directly.  Quick and easy and
will leave you plenty of time to peruse the BEE-L Archives at:
http://listserv.albany.edu:8080/cgi-bin/wa?S1=bee-l
where "Soapy Water" used as a search arguement will give you more hits than
you can read in the time it will take you to dispatch your hornets.  Be
advised that you are using the soapy water to clean your hornets (legal),
not as an insecticide (illegal).

Aaron Morris - think clean hornets and BEE-L archives!  A great combination!
