I used Talstar-P in a hose end sprayer; as soon as I blasted them & they started flying out I jumped into my nearby waiting car & waited until they settled down. (Talstar isn't an instant kill) The next day I sprayed the nest with plain water & no more signs of life.

Good luck!
I'll use the instant kill foam and start at the entrance on the bottom of the nest

Years ago, I had a can of spray and went after a nest. As soon as the first shot hit the nest, a gust of wind came up and broke up the spray. Mad as a hornet is a meaningful phrase.

I screamed and ran like a 5 year old. No stings, but a lesson learned.
