That may be more dangerous than you think. The volatile parts will
evaporate, but the heavy parts will stay and are still flammable. And, as we
all know, there are a few people in the barony who are notorious for being
followed around by fire goblins.

If we can figure out where they are, fairly precisely, we could flood the
area with CO2. Even if they're underground it'll flow into the hive and
that'll be the end of 'em. Actually it would work especially well if they're
underground. Best part is that CO2 will leave absolutely nothing flammable,
poisonous, explosive, gross, sticky, icky, or stinky.

And no chance of explosion.

Wait, who said that? What's wrong with me tonight? I'm gonna go see what
happens when you pour brake fluid on chlorine tablets now.
