Massive hornets nest removed from garage

This was turning into a "stovepipe" nest of bald faced hornets. It was built against the metal garage door. The paper cannot attach well and so the egg chamber begins to slide down. The hornets then paper over what's above the egg chamber. As a result, you get very tall and skinny nests

I respect you. Even if I was offered 6 figures I wouldn’t do this job

Boy

[@turbomunks5563]

Only if I had a safety suit

[@germ4613]

can he do it without the suit on though

[@Adriana-vv6tn]

People can easily do this job, I think the safety suit is required for the job, and I'm sure the safety suit works very well. I would do it.

[@positivelight_]

@@germ4613 no he would obviously be stung by almost a 100+ hornets.

[@PowerShellWizard]

I commend you for not only doing a good job, and documenting it all, but so far having nerves of steel while doing it. Their sound alone is scary let alone when you see them trying to sting you through your protective suit and you're talking about their nest very calmly. You have earned a like and a subscribe from me :)

imagine unknowingly opening that garage door from the inside

[@HikaritheGreat]

It's cool to actually see what you look like. The man behind the camera!

[@russelljr4026]

That was actually huge man good job! Also can you still feel it when the bite / sting you through the suit you are wearing?

[@ji19103]

Question: aren't hornets (and all wasps) dormant at night? I would think it would be easier to scout the situation and get set up during the day, then come back at night to remove the nest. I see that you, as a professional, operate differently, so I assume it doesn't work like I think. But why? Don't you get stung doing it like this? (Or is your gear that hornet proof? Maybe I'm answering my own question here?)

[@TheBeeMan]

It's not really feasible to run 45 jobs at night so we use dust that can be done during the day They absolutely wake up and get active if you attack the nest at night. Hornet/wasp spray says to do it at night because they will avoid it when they return so you have to get them all in one shot with the cheap stuff

[@Squirtsock]

Have you ever had a suit malfunction? Like have been working and all of a sudden u get stung ?

[@TheBeeMan]

Sometimes they'll get up under the elastic waistband and get in

[@michaelherndon9573]

Amazing work thank you for sharing I'm sure it's different but on average how long does it take for them to make a nest the size?

[@brucesmith9144]

Wonder how long it takes for the remnant hornets to leave the area once their nest has been removed?

[@TheBeeMan]

They don't leave, they return to rebuild and get into the pesticide residue. Takes up to 48 hours

[@Adriana-vv6tn]

@@TheBeeMan Then how do you get them to leave the area?

[@geasslelouch]

@@Adriana-vv6tn the peticide residue kills them

good job, beau travail, un petit bonjour de france

[@j.a.7764]

"All wasps and hornets are beneficial. Homeowners can appreciate that they protect gardens and landscapes from pests like caterpillars, spiders and aphids and pollinate blooming plants." "Wasps have a strong sense of smell, which they use to find food sources. You can take advantage of this trait by using scents they dislike, such as peppermint, lemongrass, clove, and geranium essential oils, vinegar, sliced cucumber, bay leaves, scented herbs, and geranium flowers."

[@ulisirius9027]

Hornets are protected species in Europe. It is prohibited strictly to destroy their nests.

[@brucesmith9144]

@@ulisirius9027 interesting. So what is done with nuisance nests? Are there specially licensed companies to remove them?

[@ulisirius9027]

@@brucesmith9144 Normal pest control company, fire brigade. Possibilities: It has to stay. When possible has the people to live with them. Only with special approvement: Resettlement. Liquidation.(nearly not possible).

I was in a tiny house for a night, there was a hornet nest that my mum, dad and me didn’t know about but we went to sleep and the hornets set of the fire alarm and we were all terrified. The nest cracked and broke and they fled bc we were using a vacuum (this was years back and I was 5

Who makes the beekeeper suit you have on ?

[@Reils223]

Are you still using that duster? And if so do you recommend it?

[@TheBeeMan]

It's an Exacticide duster and ehhhhhhh its tough to recommend It's a brilliant duster but it breaks a lot. The problem is every other duster I've tried breaks a lot, too. If it were more reliable I'd recommend it 100 times out of 100. So maybe have a backup duster for when it goes out Also, technicide charges an awful lot of money for a painters pole which can be had for 1/3 the price on eBay, as well as hoses and batteries that can be found for cheaper So definitely worth looking into

They chew tree bark to make it

bro niceeeee

[@JoSeeFuss]

Why don't you just get a trash bag around it, pull it down and tie it off. Wouldn't need any chemicals and they'll die from the heat

[@TheBeeMan]

The queen would probably escape before you could do it. Hitting it immediately with the pesticide ensures she gets hit

[@G.Photogirl]

How and where does this paper comes from to build the nest?! 😵

[@TheBeeMan]

They chew up tree bark and mix it with saliva

It is a crime. Hornets are useful for the ecology. Respect their nest, they will respect you.
