I have worked in the service industry my entire life, and I take so much pride in giving amazing customer service to all of my clients, so I really appreciate how considerate you always are of the clients homes. Job well done, Brett!

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Thank you, Drew! I appreciate that!

[@crosstar]

He really take care of their hoomes and makes sure to remove all the coomb!

[@dragondancer1814]

Uggh, this is absolutely making my skin crawl! I don’t have a phobia about yellow jackets, but I do have a serious disrespect for them going back decades, and the idea of their invading my house on such a massive scale does nothing for this! A thousand mad props to you for taking them on like this, and I hope the homeowner found and sealed their access holes so that history doesn’t repeat itself down the road! Although I did have to laugh at 8:47 when that one yellow jacket video-bombed your camera….

[@HornetKingOfficial]

They're always trying to cover the lens and steal the show! Haha

[@RT-qd8yl]

I do have a massive phobia of them, and found out after the built a nest in an exterior wooden window frame. It's inaccessible and we've been having it professionally treated with dust. So far I've found 19 of them in my bathroom. This has been a nightmare, and I'm worrying myself sick.

[@dragondancer1814]

@@RT-qd8yl Sounds like my house last year, only they invaded the back wall where the brick base at ground level meets the siding on the upper story (split foyer built at ground level). Since the upper story is the master bedroom and the access panels for the bathrooms’ plumbing are in there (including my closet-yikes!), I was definitely not happy about that! I dodged that bullet, but they did invade the garage via the trapdoor in the ceiling that we installed to access the bathroom pipes from below. My daughter put her foot down and said she wasn’t taking the trash or recycling bins out until we got an exterminator in there, and I couldn’t blame her one bit! Even after they were killed off, it was a couple of weeks before I could go in there without getting the heebie-jo-jeebies, so I get where you’re coming from!

[@peforster6725]

I felt sorry for all the vacuuming you had to do!

[@TheEmeraldApplePrototype]

It's incredible on how big these hornets can build there nests. And how they just swarm you it's basically just a death trap without a proper protective suit and I also I wonder how this feels for you every time you remove these titanic nests.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

These are actually yellow jackets. The first couple times removing large nests can be a little unnerving, but after a few years, it gets pretty repetitive. Just like any other job.

[@TheEmeraldApplePrototype]

@@HornetKingOfficial I'm now wondering what the difference is between yellow jackets and hornets.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

@The Emerald Apple Prototype Yellow jackets (Vespula and Dolichovespula) and Hornets (Vespa) are both types of paper wasps. Hornets are larger, and their nesting behaviors are different than YJs. If you watch this video, then watch my European Hornets in a box video from a few weeks ago, you can see how different their nests are.

[@TheEmeraldApplePrototype]

@@HornetKingOfficial Ah okay thanks.

[@stephenullman4534]

Excellent commentary on your videos. It's so hard to believe how large one of those nests can get. And where they build. Incredible work! Really well done!

[@PaulineAurelia]

Your videos are always so informative! I've been afraid of all kinds of wasps ever since our boat got swarmed by oriental hornets (vespa orientalis) in Greece. My fear came from not knowing anything about these creatures at all. Your channel changed that. Whenever I see a wasp or hornet now, I'm way more chill about it. I know they won't just attack out of the blue. Also, I'm very interested in all the different species that are out there, so I really appreciate that you always take the time to explain something about the species you're dealing with. Keep up the good work!

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Thank you, Pauline! I'm glad my channel has helped you with your wasp fear! Understanding a creature takes away that fear of the unknown! Thank you for your kind words! ❤

I feel like seeing the yellow jackets just absolutely COVERING the window makes you feel just how many there are in the colony, as usually when you are outside or have a close shot most of them just fly away and you don't get to see the sheer amount of them.
