Someone that is looking to remove a hornets' nest can do so by locating the nest, making sure that one has proper gear to wear to avoid injury such as protective glasses and gloves. One would also need a strong garbage bag that is tare resistant to place underneath the nest (on the ground), then by using a long-handled hedge trimmer or branch to knock the nest down into the garbage bag below that is on the ground. Once the nest is down fill the bag with appropriate insecticide, close the bag and burn it right away to get rid of it. For more information one can also watch videos on YouTube for more step by step instructions.

Smoke the nest, being careful to avoid rapid movements, then either set fire to it or knock it down and run like hell.

How do you kill ground hornets used 3 cans of Raid and they are still alive What do you do to get rid of them?

Cans of Raid will kill pests on contact but don't leave any residual poison, so whatever's not in the nest when you spray it will not be impacted. From what I've read (I have a ground hornet problem, too) you need to use a dust insecticide like Drion Dust or Delta Dust, and a duster. According to the material I've found, you need to wait until dusk (when all hornets are in the nest and resting for the night), then pump in 6-7 puffs of this dust into the nest. The insecticide can kill for up to 8 months -- whatever does not die when you originally apply it will track the dust further back into the nest, and will kill other hornets that way (including themselves.)

Are hornets deadly?

I don't think I would consider hornets to be friendly. Flying in the open they would probably ignore you, but if provoked in any way they can give a very nasty sting.The old saying 'to disturb a hornets nest' meaning to cause a lot of trouble for yourself comes from real life.
