I've been chased out of my home because of hornets!I was away for about a half hour and my husband called to say there was a swarm in the living room. He sprayed and was swatting at one when the swatter went thru the ceiling..needless to say he ran! They ate thru the dry wall only the paint was holding them back! With the hole open it released the whole nest! I called today to have the outside sprayed...day late I guess! I'm sure they will have to knock down part of the ceiling as the trap to the attic is on the other end of the house! They will be out in the morning, we had been #9 on their list..this got us bumped up to 2!can't imagine what #1 is like! Staying at a hotel a few miles from home..tried to talk hubby into going back for my bathing suit but it was a big no.

Sounds nasty! I would be camped out at the motel too. We have a yellow jacket nest in an old stump in the backyard right now and I am staying away from it.

Wow. I thought they only built those funny looking nests in trees. I'm glad they didn't attack your hubby. I understand a lot of their stings to one person can be fatal. I hope you are able to go back home soon unless your insurance covers all your expenses and if so, enjoy your mini-vacation. LOL

Hope the bug people get you taken care of quickly! Hard to believe they can make such a mess. I suppose there is not a swim suit to be had in any store -- maybe around Christmas time.

There is a high school, in Central Florida, that is also overrun by hornets/bees nests.

I'm glad neither of you were harmed, but what a hassle!!

When I had an invasion of bees the bee expert told me to use a canister vacuum and suck them up.
It worked.
They had built a nest inside the wall over my kitchen cabinets.

I just heard about someone having bees in their guest room like that. Yikes!!

You poor thing! How awful. I don't recall ever hearing of such a bad hornet situation. We have a pest company spray outside every month to keep the hornets and spiders away.
