Bumble, digger, mining, and sweat bees are bees that burrow in the ground. They respectively belong to the Apidae, Anthoporidae, Andrenidae, and Halictidaeinsect families. They collectively may be referred to as burrowing, earth-nesting, and ground-dwelling bees even though bumblebees -- which are social and build colonies -- will be excluded from the designation solitary bees.
Natural predators of ground hornets include animals such as skunks, raccoons, and some bird species like blue jays and mockingbirds. These predators feed on the hornets and their larvae, helping to keep their population in check.
There are many North American animals that burrow underground. These animals include prairie dogs, as well as the ground hogs.
Yes, raccoons are known to dig into the ground to forage for insects, including ground hornets. They have strong paws and sharp claws that make it easy for them to dig up nests. However, raccoons will generally avoid ground hornets due to the risk of getting stung.
Squirrels mainly burrow in cavities or construct nests in trees, rather than tunneling underground like some other animals such as moles. They may dig shallow burrows under leaves or debris on the ground to store food or hide from predators, but they are not known for creating extensive tunnel systems.
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.)

Hornets that are the same color as the ground. Was it hard to figure out?
Hornets don't normally nest in the ground. Yellow Jackets nest in the ground. You can kill them by pouring gasoline in the hole and running.
Sounds like yellowjackets.
I wouldn't recommend it. Get professional help.There is an old saying about someone causing trouble for themsleves: 'He stirred up a hornet's nest'. There is a great amount of truth in this. Don't take the risk.
There are many sites available online where you can see the pictures of the ground hornets nests. Type images to search.
Ants, bees, hornets, scorpions and wasps are bugs that burrow and sting in tomato gardens. The four insects and sole arachnid mentioned above burrow into below-ground and surface-level nests in or near fruit and vegetable gardens where animal prey and plant edibles proliferate. Fire ants (Solenopsis spp) and scorpions (Scorpiones order) contribute to arthropod control even though they receive pest status more quickly than do ground-dwelling nectaring, pollinating bees, hornets and wasps.
Natural predators of ground hornets include animals such as skunks, raccoons, and some bird species like blue jays and mockingbirds. These predators feed on the hornets and their larvae, helping to keep their population in check.

Many different animals burrow the ground. Some of the more common ground burrowers include aardvarks, armadillos, badgers, ants, mongoose, and prairie dogs.
No, bell hornets, also known as European hornets, typically do not nest in the ground. Instead, they usually build their nests in elevated locations such as tree hollows, wall voids, or under eaves of buildings. Their nests are made from paper-like material that they create by chewing wood fibers mixed with their saliva. Ground nesting is more common among other types of wasps and hornets.
A burrow.
