My childhood wasp trauma was a bit different. I was at my grandmothers house, in the backyard playin around n exploring. Came across this funny looking paper thing bout size of an adult hand (fingers extended) hanging under a water hose holder on the wall. Being that I had no idea what this object was or why it was there, walking stick in hand I opted to perform one of humanities oldest and advanced type of scientific study......which lead to a astonishing discovery. Wasps really dont like it when you poke their nest with a stick. Clearly I was smarterestest child. I recall running inside the house crying with wasps all over me, not clear as to the following events. Pretty sure my dad torched the nest though. Oddly enough I dont actually recall the stings hurting to bad. I imagine it was likely due to adrenaline and panic. Since then however Ive been terrified of wasps.

Careful with the gloves around cold liquids like that. While some liquid may bounce off the bare skin and not cause any harm, the gloves will absorb it and keep the freezing liquid in contact with your skin long enough to cause damage.

On the opposite end of the temperature scale, liquid aluminum works well for dealing with invasive ant colonies. It isn't exactly a common method, and it would take some setup and maintenance just to get the stuff over there, but once it's done, you'll be left with what looks like a tree made with aluminium.

I was walking through the woods with a friend and found a ground bee next so large that you could see the honeycomb in the entrance hole it was so large. We were both stung several times. Largest ground bee nest I've ever seen. The sound was astounding

[@thebathuman]

Fifteen years ago walking through a pine forest with a friend, very warm day - both of us focused on our conversation. At the same time we both slowed our walk, stopped talking and looked at each other in amazement. "BEES!" we both said in unison. Then we hightailed it out of the forest. The entire area was THRUMMING with the sound of bees - you could almost feel the air vibrating with the buzzing of their wings. So. Many. Bees. It was really cool but glad we didn't stick around.

Amazing, worth every second of video. I’m allergic to their sting and actually got stung by 1 about 2yrs ago, that 1 sting almost closed my airway.

[@johnruiz6743]

You think one is bad, try getting stung multiple times. Not a good experience. Lucky I am not allergic. I stumbled into a nest when I opened the door of an old truck which sat for awhile. The wasps/hornets built a nest under the dash just inside the door. I jumped in and sat on the seat and tried starting the truck. Luckily I had not closed the door. They came out in numbers and were pissed. I was stung at least 20 times on the legs (had shorts on!) and other places before I managed to get out and away. Didn't end up hospitalized, but it sickened me for about a day.

[@elliottswanson9307]

This is an impressive technique! The only drawback might be getting access to liquid nitrogen. (The stuff isn't very expensive-- $0.13 to $1.78 per liter currently). I wonder if you could get a similar result by boiling a 5 gallon bucket of water with a long rope tied to the handle, and pulling it over onto the nest? Probably would take several retries to get them all. This would also be non-toxic...

[@sechi7239]

Remember this; if you run out of boiling water just use some of the liquid nitrogen you have in your cupboard collecting dust anyway.

Dunno...insects are pretty tough. The freeze was virtually instantaneous, so no ice crystals are forming in their innards to damage tissue. I'd check after the Big Thaw just to make sure they aren't bouncing back. Don't want any nasty surprises.

[@alphaxfang]

i think the time for him to dig up, transport, and film is enough for them to resurrect if they still have any life in them... but from the look of it they are dead for good...

They won't be able to breathe and get oxygen tho?

[@j10001]

Good thought. But it looks like in the final part of the video he had moved the remains of the nest into a studio location to film them. (When he shows the queen.) So I think everything was good and dead!

I feel like if you are going to do this method you need to have a Mr. Freeze themed bee suit. Before pouring say a corny line such as "Ice to meet you"

[@FemboyDullahan]

Fun fact people who work with Liquid Nitrogen on the regular often forgo gloves for safety reasons, since the gloves would freeze along with you hand inside it, but without gloves you get the leidenfrost effect that protects your bear hands form the LN. Its only when you would have prolonged contact with the liquid its self that would cause damage, but it normally boils away or falls off by that time if its the small amount.

[@abdullahunal1108]

I was gonna say the same thing. I think I saw it on one of Nile Red's videos. He explained it's better not wearing a glove when working with liquid nitrogen.

Bare hands, not bear. Unless you mean to say that people who regularly work with LN literally have hands like bears.

[@stupidthefish1979]

Another good method I’ve seen is to put some sort of mosquito mesh over the top of the hole, then pour dawn into the whole and then pour water down the hole, preferably with a hose but just enough to cause the soap to bubble. It’s cheaper but slower than liquid nitrogen, and you’ll probably need more mosquito mesh if there’s other holes.

[@johnruiz6743]

Diatomaceous earth also works if dispensed into the hole. It takes a few days, but once they all get coated with it, it cuts through the coating on the exoskeleton and dessicates them. Not to mention it also clogs their spiracles so it interferes with insect respiration as well. Yet, not toxic to humans or animals, just bugs with an exoskeleton.

[@Radmxray]

[@redsquirrelftw]

I never realized they made their nests literally inside the ground like that, I always thought they were typically just on the surface of foliage etc. that's kind of scary as that is so easy to miss then they just start pouring out. That is definitely a fun way to kill them where fire would not be safe to use.
