Hi Ben, we have plenty of yellow jackets here in north Georgia, that's why I appreciate my enclosed cab tractors, but I don't think I see as many as when I was younger. Now it seems like red wasps are building a nest on everything that doesn't move regularly.

I’ve been seeing the red wasps more here, had a nest in the shop I sprayed the other day. Are those something new coming around? Thanks for watching

I don't like yellow jackets either, nor does my wife. We were riding our tractor and ran over a yellow jackets nest and we both got stung, her worse than me. Anytime we see a nest in the ground, I eliminate the nest, asap! We always love to see our fields after we clean them with the bush hog, like what you did. Thanks, have a nice day and a safe and Happy 4th of July!

We have yellow jackets here in Southern Illinois. Thankfully I have a nice cab tractor so when I have stirred up a nest it hasn't been a problem for me. Boy do they get angry.

Ben, good video with your John Deere. You mentioned yellow jackets. Yes they are a real problem when you’re out mowing like that and they get very aggressive when you run over their nests! We have them up here in Northwestern Pennsylvania too. If I come across a nest during the day when it’s hot out. I stay away from it until night when it’s cool and they’re all inside the nest staying warm. Mix you up a 5 gallon bucket of water and Sevin dust. Then pour that down the hole until it overflows. It will kill the whole nest including the queen. How are you liking the John Deere now that you’ve had it for a while? She sure seemed to handle the brush hog well.

I’ve never heard of that method for getting rid of the ground nest. That’s a good idea, safer than gas and a lighter 😂! Very happy with the Deere! Thanks for watching

Yellow jackets are no joke, a feller usually gets one pass over them, but not two without getting eat up. Had some built a nest in a barn we had once. It was in one of our horse stalls, put the horse in there to feed him, and he paws while he eats, and the nest was under his feed bucket mounted on the wall. Needless to say he stirred them up good and got nailed, big mess.

Morning Ben! I too hate the little devils. I was doing bushhogging in the dog days of August / September a few years back here in North Georgia. It is one thing to make a pass over the nest and keep going and then on the next pass see them flying and mad and then avoid getting close, but I was cutting and backing up on a slope on an open station - gear drive tractor in low gear. Went forward and then backed up. I had opened up the 'hotel' and out from under the bush hog they came. I was trying to back up off the slope, change gears, accelerate, and swat with my hat and steer with my other hand and try to unbuckle the set belt also so that I could escape. By the time I could get off the tractor I had been stung 11 times. Not allergic to them, but they do cause minor welts at the sting site and itch. I could not do outside work for four days because the heat and sweat of the summer would aggravate the sting sites. While I had the downtime I decided that it was time for a cab tractor so a month later I was at my local Kubota and upgraded to an M4. Love this tractor and don't regret the cost. Now when I hit a nest, I just smile at them when they hit the glass and can't get to me .... all while drinking my water with the A/C and radio on! Love your videos Ben. Have a great day and God's blessings on you!

Ken I'm with you on the yellowjackets. My dad taught me after I raked over a nest of them when I was 17 and got stung more times than I could count that they go after vibration and movement. He told me to sit as still as I could and whatever I did DO NOT swat at them. Last year I was bush hogging a field that hadn't been mowed in a few years and all of a sudden I found myself surrounded by a swarm of hundreds of yellowjackets. I pulled my shirt collar closed with my gloved hand and sat perfectly still and didn't even breath. I kept the tractor moving and let me tell you those things were hitting the muffler and tractor hood but I escaped without nary a sting. 47 years later turns out my dad must have been right.

Yes sir,we are blessed with yellow jackets,wasps,bees and hornets here in north Alabama. The hotter it gets the angrier they become. I went through 2 cans of spray today killing wasp in the barn,sheds and under the eaves of the house. I remembered you bush hogging that place in another video a good while back. It looked good then and now after you mowed it 👍

Well when you try to video yourself it’s nearly impossible to do with a tripod. I can’t have someone following me around doing my filming like other big channels do. Half this video was filmed from a tripod off the tractor though. It’s either do the job and film the best I can, don’t film at all or spend all day trying to set up cameras on a 45 min job.
