I Remove A Hornet Nest - Start To Finish

I kill and remove a Bald Faced Hornet nest hanging above the front entryway porch of this house. Hornets are aggressive and will sting anything they think is a threat to their colony. I bring you along as I dust, kill and remove the nest from start to finish!

I always understood, even as a kid, that you dispatch bees or wasps at night time when all of them have returned to the nest. No?

I have a white faced hornets nest on the side of my house about six feet away from a window that is always open this time of years so that the cats can go in and out as they please. Only two of them have actually come into the house as far as i know. One of them died on a kitchen counter, and am not sure why. The other one i thought was dead floating in a bowl filled with water in the sink. I scooped it out with a spoon and noticed it was still alive. I could have just washed it down the sink, but decided to just toss it out the window where it could possibly recover and rejoin the hive. If it has any intelligence it will know that coming in the house is not the safest place to go. That nest has been there for a few weeks, but i just noticed it a couple days ago. I am out there frequently doing yard work and hanging out with the cats. I have never even seen any of the hornets fly anywhere near me. So far, i have been leaving them alone and they have been leaving me and the cats alone. They have been doing their thing which is probably hunting other bugs in my yard and working on their hive. At this point, i am not really sure what i will do about it.

There are a lot of nests that won’t become a danger to humans and can be left alone to just do their natural thing. When they become a danger to humans are when people call us to come take care of the problem.

@@shipleypestsolutions Thank you for the reply. That nest has been there for weeks, but i just noticed it a few days ago. They have never bothered me or my cats outdoors yet. Another one did come in the window and buzzed around the kitchen for a while last night, but probably went back out and returned to the nest.

@@tonyprice2256they might be fine to leave alone for the rest of the season then, if they don’t pose a threat. They will typically abandon their nests as fall sets in and we start to get 40 degree nights, here in Indiana. So, they will most likely behave similarly wherever you might be living.

@@shipleypestsolutions If i set up a few traps, what would be the best bait for them? Fruit juice or meat like tuna, bacon?

[@shipleypestsolutions]

@@tonyprice2256honestly all of those options would probably work. They are omnivores and will forage on a wide variety of items.

Great removal. This video popped up in my feed today, I’ve taken out an in ground yellow jacket nest on my property each week in July. Been stung countless times. Good call on having a backup method to spray into the hive. Going to subscribe to your channel and follow the KZbin journey. Keep it up!

[@shipleypestsolutions]

Greatly appreciate the feedback and glad I can help! I'll try to keep the interesting and informative videos coming and hopefully you can stay safe and don't get stung too many more times!

Not going to lie, it looked like the pole duster worked for a couple of pumps and then did nothing.

[@shipleypestsolutions]

Correct. It got clogged and once I figured that out, then I used my bulb duster.

[@bobstranzenbach4700]

What kind of dust?

[@shipleypestsolutions]

We primarily use Tempo dust.

Walk passed the hive in a tree I didn’t know was there and bam 💥 stung me right in the head walk the same oath again later in the day and bam on the head again 😵‍💫😤 if I didn’t know any better I’d say it was trying to sting by brain. 😭
