2 Bald Faced Hornets Nests on the same House | Wasp Nest Removal

This Bald Faced Hornet (Dolichovespula maculata) colonies built their nests side by side on a clients house! The clients were concerned to venture into their yard fearing the hornets would attack. So they called me to come and removed the colonies. I came out with my handy vacuum and sucked out all the hornets, pulled the nest down and fed it to my animals!

After being a subscriber for about a year and a half… I still can’t get over the fact you can pick up a squirrel…

[@HornetKingOfficial]

I rescue and hand raised my squirrels, so they are used to being held.

[@LITTLE1994]

​@@HornetKingOfficial Oh, that explains it

[@Lord_Baphomet_]

@@HornetKingOfficial bro… I know you’ve rescued it… but other people who have rescued squirrels can’t pick up those same squirrels again… you’ve got the magic touch…

[@juju4842]

@@Lord_Baphomet_ HK can speak squirrel... I've tried to mimic it, but I can't. I do talk baby talk to deer, moose and antelope, but I've never been able to get an antelope (or squirrel) to eat from my hand. I did get a scorpion to do it once... probably from talking baby talk (JK, it was probably just hungry).

[@ArcticArsenal]

We have a chipmunk that lives in our back yard that will come and eat out of our hands. He will hop right into our hands.

Bald Face Hornets was the most ever painful sting I ever took. I was an landscaper at the time and my partner & I was mulching a flowerbed that had a tree in the middle. Suddenly, I felt this sharp pain on the back on my neck and grabbed whatever it was and threw it to the ground. After seeing the bald face, I was wondering what it was because it was the first time seeing one, we looked up and seen this huge nest in the middle of the tree and then my partner and I started to get swarmed, so we left the area and jumped into the truck waiting for the scene to calm down. But it was crazy. Kudos to you Hornet King for what you do. Always enjoy your videos

[@TrumpsGoofyAssMugshot]

yeah i live in oregon and they have the most painful sting around here. i once stepped on a nest and it didnt stop hurting for over an hour.

[@hcgtrplaya92986]

I just watched a video from you 2 years ago where you dealt with a person yelling at you to get off her property, to the point you ended up getting the police involved. Then you go on to talk about your transition to wasp nest removal from nursing, and you even commented about your history in the nursing field. As a nurse myself (who also happened to work in post op recovery, though now in home care), it’s really nice to see that side of you. I can definitely appreciate your reasons for leaving the field (they are challenges I’ve thought about in my own career). So thank you my friend.

She likes yelling at me though, and I like picking on her for trying to direct me with her terrible pointing 😆

As a long time subscriber, it's still tragic to see such a beautiful, intrinsic nest get sucked up. However, I love watching all the different animals eat the larvae. And it still amazes me how much the wildlife trusts you! I bet you were a great nurse!

Great video, I like to think that the two hornet nests were allies and that when one was attacked, the others came to help. Question: has a client ever filmed from the inside of the house whenever you remove a nest next to window?

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Yup I have had clients film me many times.

Your videos are so amazing. I’m not sure how nests get that big without being noticed. I keep an eye on my shed and when a nest starts developing I knock it down right away. Yikes!

[@deanevangelista6359]

Yeah, I just spotted a three cell paper wasp nest, with only a queen, under my awning. I shot it down with a rubber band. Effective and organic.

[@St_Nic]

I wonder if both swarms started off focused on each other considering he wasn't covered in them at the start.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

The alarm pheromone of the first inner corner nest triggered the alarm of the outer corner nest.

Ok, I'm juvenile and have to repeat it. "Jessica, How close am I near the hole? " Answer."About 2 inches down." Love you Hornet King and Queen. (I'll just leave this comment here to ponder.)🍀🍀🍀 Stay blessed.

Squirrels are just adorable. Having two nests on the house had to be aggravating to the homeowners. Hello Hornet Queen 👋

[@anniegreenwind971]

The way you were talking to the squirrel, you sound like Gargamel from the Smurf’s.

[@ndingo]

I don’t know why but this is so satisfying 🐝

[@mikebrown9718]

Great seeing the HQ in the video! I can’t believe that there were two bald face hornets nest on one house, ten feet apart. The only time I seen that was on your barn, three inches apart! Also when you had Humphrey that’s the first time I realized squirrels ate wasps/yellow jackets larvae (another learning moment from the past!). Question: Will squirrels, possums and skunks go after European hornets due to their sting? Another great video Bret!!

[@MagickalWitch93]

I recently met someone that's terrified of squirrels, never in my life thought someone felt afraid of such a cute creature. But she told some scary stories about how squirrels are so harmful to houses and can spread diseases. Now everytime I see one can't help but think about those stories and kinda get jumpy. Before that my daughters and I will be so excited to see squirrels! I moved to US a few years ago so I'm kinda new to seeing squirrels! Should we really try to keep them out of our property? 🐿️ ✨ Love your videos!!!

[@andrewsinclair7159]

Most people in the US don't care to do anything about squirrels on their property. They can sometimes nest inside of attics and cause damage, but that's not too common. They also might be a nuisance if you have bird feeders, because they can climb up and eat the bird seed. Another thing you should know about squirrels is that they can bite very, very hard if they feel threatened enough. The ones in the video are very tame and will let Hornet King pick them up, but don't ever try to do that with a wild squirrel because it will bite your hand.

[@bat__bat]

Interesting 🤔 You're the only person Ive seen that can legitimately write "water the emus" on a list of daily chores.

[@ChuckRussell87]

I love how you can just pick up the squirrel and she's completely unbothered by it haha

[@maximagmhondafan8892]

I saw something like this several years ago on a house not far from my neighborhood. But they were aerial yellow jacket nests. Also I saw a couple BF hornet nests close to each other on the same tree.

Squirrel definitely gets special treatment! Look at that whole big piece for herself.

I think I was travelling through your neighborhood 20-odd years ago. I regularly picked up a load of mushrooms in Nottingham for Columbus and drove some sketchy 2-lane highways (I forget the route numbers) dodging Amish buggies getting to Lancaster, working my way to the PA Pike. Some of the scenery and roads in your videos look familiar.

[@ksteak27]

I love how the emu's just destroy the comb 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@HornetKingOfficial]

That's why I'll tweeze some of the larvae, because they just gulp the hole comb and the chickens won't get any 😆

[@Lasherluke]

I'm curious about some of the clothing techniques on the apiary suit. When I was watching videos of hazmat training exercises, I saw soldiers and marines wrapping duct tape around the writsts to provide an extra seal on the gloves and other seams (though I'm sure they already have some other kind of seal on them, redundancy in protection doesn't hurt when you're near something nasty). I remember in another video you mentioned that one potential point of failure in the apiary suit is the wrists where the gloves and sleeves overlap. Do any professionals that use apiary suits add in those sorts of temporary protections, like duct taping around the wrist and boots to provide an extra layer of protection against the glove/wrist seal breaking? The same can be said about the boots and pants, though I assume those aren't exposed as often as the sleeves and gloves. Awesome content, by the way. These videos are super satisfying to watch. Edit: Another thought I had while watching was the use of a hydration pouch or some other method of holding a water bottle on the inside of the suit so you can stay hydrated on these hot days without having to get a safe distance away from the nests first. These are thoughts from someone who hasn't worked with wasps, so if there are reasons not to do either of those things, I'd love to learn more about them and what techniques are used instead where possible.
