I usually clear out individual bloodflies with my sword if I am close enough and then shoot the swarming groups near the nests with crossbow bolts (or bullets if there aren't any people close that would be alerted to my presence).

I usually do this if there is a Nest Keeper I've hit with a sleep dart and he has to, OF COURSE, stumble right in front of a nest I need to clear out. Once the number of bloodflies is significantly reduced, I retrieve Mr. Sleepy Bug-guy, back off and light the nest up.

However, now that I know that isn't necessary, I can carry the guy and just hack the nest.

Do you know, by chance, can an active, red nest be destroyed by concentrated crossbow bolts or regular pistol fire as well? I haven't tried this yet.
