Next time soak the nest at night with a $5 bottle of ant killer spray. They won't attack at night. I find the bee spray to be a lighter chemical, probably because it's meant to spray into the air and so they tone it down so they don't kill idiots that spray into the wind. Ant spray is designed to be used on the ground and seems to be a much stronger concoction. I've tested it out with wasps nests in the dirt. Hornet spray slows them down but they can still sometimes fly, but a little ant spray and they are dead in seconds.
