    Looks like a wasp to me.......... can't see the size - hornets are like wasps but around 2 or 3 times the size of a wasp, so if it's big it might be a hornet.

    It's a hornet or a wasp. Both are dangerous. Both can sting multiple times and often sting without provocation. I'd get an exterminator in their ASAP.

    I would say it is a hornet, as you can see it is huge!!! Wasps are so much smaller....

    Worst sting I've ever had came from a hornet. I was about 8 years old. I still have a scar.

    Wait till night to get rid of the nest.
