TL;DR
A stinging insect nest treatment is the targeted elimination of a wasp, hornet, or yellowjacket colony using dusts, aerosols, or foams applied directly at the nest entrance, followed by removal of accessible nests. Technicians work at dusk or dawn when foragers are home, in protective suits, with ground nests dusted and aerial or wall-void nests injected; bald-faced hornet removals are the canonical do-not-DIY job.

Technicians work at dusk or dawn when foragers are home, in protective suits, with ground nests dusted and aerial or wall-void nests injected; bald-faced hornet removals are the canonical do-not-DIY job. Honey bee colonies are the exception, referred to live removal or a beekeeper in many states rather than treated.
