Ok , a gallon should be more than enough .
Yellow Jacket Nest

We had those in Western Washington. I just put some powdered insecticide at the entrance and got clear. Next day the nest was dead, every time. Any powdered insecticide works. I do not know if diatomaceous earth works, but sevin does for sure. A tablespoon is more than enough.

Don't mess around trying to DIY something that could land you in the hospital. Call an exterminator.
Molten aluminum, as on you tube.

I am not disagreeing with you, but the OP was asking about ground hornets.

Come on man you know that's no fun!
Would work the same with enough flame.
Squirt this powder in the hole(s) at night and it will kill the whole nest/colony:
Delta Dust Insecticide

This. Wait til after dark. Pour in 1/2 pint. The fumes do the work. Do not light. Hold flashlight away from your body, as some will fly toward it at night.
Pour quick and get away.
Sevin is the way to go. The insects pick up the dusk as they enter the burrow and take it down to the nest. No liquid or aerosol will do that so effectively.
When it’s dark, they’re all in the nest, they generally stay in there. I dump gas in the hole, don’t even cover it. Still dead, no stings.
No, all bees and wasps are dormant and less aggressive at night. Same if your spraying nests, do it at night. Much less agro

If you’re that sensitive to it you really should hire a pro.
Agree, that was not mentioned in the first post. If 1 sting incapacitates you, like you are allergic , farm it out to an exterminator.
The skunks will do that for you.
