I recall seeing a video where someone was trying to eradicate a
hard-to-get-to hornet nest in a roof where they wound up leaving a
running shopvac at the entrance to capture the hornets as they
entered/left. If you later suck up some powdered pesticide like Sevin
or diatomaceous earth, it ought to kill them while trapped in the vacuum.
