The ants were in a log so carpenter might make sense. Hornets are the worst ! They are who attacked me when I was 8 and I had several allergic reactions and a few trips to the hospital. I haven’t had anything like that in 30 years since but I have more reaction to stings than most people 

You're 38? Why did I always think you were 60?

It’s the monofilament usage 

They are dead, I win. 

 

had to drag the weedeater away with a 20 foot pole 4 days after the swarm. There were still a few attacking it today.

Hahahah. Yellow jackets , not sure what they classify as. They suck and there are always hundreds in a hole in the ground 

I just put a call into my pest control guy even though I used to own a pest control company.  I let my license expire so I can’t buy restricted use pesticides any more.  I was on the roof blowing out the gutters from all of the hickory nut casings from the dang tree rats and I got swarmed by a bunch of hornets.  They are no match for a leaf blower so I just kept them at bay while I moved away.  I saw they were going behind the siding where it meets my fireplace.  We’ve been gone 2 weeks and when I came home, I found one of them live in the downstairs laundry room and noticed there are some dead in the light/fan unit in the upstairs master bath.  Time for my guy to earn his pay.?
