Sand hornets can be quite a pesky nuisance. If you have found sand hornets around your home your best is to try using some form of insecticide, such as raid or an insecticide powder which you can place in a bulb and blow into their nesting holes.

Answer by  luvlexis83 (798)

Squeeze a bulb of any type of insecticide listed that kills them inside the burrow or nesting of the hornets and go inside fast. Wait two to four days. Repeat this process if you see the burrows again and only if the area is dry it won't work if it is wet.

Hornets can be harder to kill than wasps. Make sure you have an insecticide spray for hornets. Wait until evening when they are in their nests. Spray directly into entrance.
