Stupid hornets in the house!

Stupid hornets in the house!
Every day, at least one. One night "roosting" on the kitchen ceiling, one day waiting to go out of the back door, today TWO, one dead by the back door when I got up and a HUGE one at least 1.5" long on the kitchen window just now.
Stupid things. Bees and wasps I catch and usher out, usually in a plastic glass kept for the purpose, sliding a piece of card, or paper under it.
Hornets are another matter. I am afraid they are dispatched quickly with the flyswat. I've seen the results of a hornet sting, so I don't mess.
I'm searching for the nest, thought it might be in one of the chimneys again, but no sign. I have my hornet nest destroyer spray on hand, should I find it. Just got to find it and await dusk.
Ah, the pleasures of living in the country, owls keep me awake at night and hornets bug me during the day.
I guess I'm never staisfied, eh.

P.S. Did you get the pics I sent of the little 'un?

House i inhertited and lived in for a few months always had hornets apparently . I was just driving away one time when i felt something on my neck , moved a finger over the affected area casually and was stung - stopped quite shortly afterwards and then realised what had happened
He flew away and about an hour into the 2hr trip neck was quite sore/ numb
Having said that nothing compared to being bitten by couple wasps on the face , pretty certain they were wasps ( didnt see them but was told they were there and nesting )
