MASSIVE Yellow Jacket Nest 3RD Nests In House! WASP INFESTATION!

[@ImNotADeeJay]

as a rule of thumb, if I can tell which species a wasp is, that means I am way too close to it

[@JSp4wN]

Lmfao! Sound advice, Hal. 👌👍😜😆

[@colinboneham7387]

Yea I don’t like being that close that you can tell the species, thru a camera is close enough for me.

[@Ann061982]

I totalt agree 😂😂

[@kevintennant7701]

Eastern Yellow Jackets. 1. Small size 2. Soggy comb 3. Large colony 4. Semi-agressive, as they clumped on your gloves, but don't bounce off you. Great video as always. Thanks.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Good critical thinking, but sorry, this species is not the Eastern.

[@teresakoslosky3053]

I love how respectful u r about the bees or wasps but also the owners homes u clean up after u r done. You also use the nests to feed to your animals so u definitely don’t waste anything that Mother Nature provides! God Bless You and your happy spirit!

Great video. The Emu running at the end was fantastic ! So cute. Just made my day!

This "client forgot to fill that gap" reminds me Just Rolled In channel: Client declined all repairs and came back with a broken car. 😂

[@MamaJewelsMarshall]

They are German. The amount of paper comb was the second sign, the first being the lack in presence and aggression when he sawed thru the ceiling. The vibration would have brought out more aggressive species. The color pattern was fun to spot too. Thanx for the challenge! Peace and Love to you and yours.

[@jonathanpeters6734]

Same logic here, they did not try to kill him and there is a lot of envelope, which is common with vespula germanica

[@andrewsinclair7159]

@@jonathanpeters6734 Yeah, V. Squamosa would've come pouring out. Their version of southern hospitality I guess.

[@timjohnun4297]

It's funny, because I'm in Australia, and V. Germanica are the only type of European wasps here, and I've always considered them to be insanely aggressive. Glad we don't get the other types lol

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Correct!😊 Though your reasons for choosing this species aren't specific to only Germans. Vidua, Arenaria, Vulgaris , etc have similar nesting behaviors and perceived defensiveness. Make no mistake, this colony's guards were latching, and attacking.

[@andrewsinclair7159]

​@@timjohnun4297 It's funny to me that Australia has such a reputation for mean, deadly animals, but the native wasps there are basically kittens. The worst you have are paper wasps of the genus Polistes, which are larger, but far less aggressive than European wasps. They build much smaller nests, and their sting is less painful too. Apart from the paper wasps, the vast majority of native Australian wasps are of the solitary/parasitoid variety, and most of those prey on spiders specifically. Who could object to that?

[@susieast450]

[@mr_seth]

That gave me an idea for custom vacuum nozzle that someone could build for you. A nozzle with LEDs built into it, that would angle light out the end of the nozzle, while the nozzle sucks air into the vacuum. It would help attract wasps into the nozzle, while also helping you see what is going on 👍

Nice ride brother. Back in the day,I had a few older cars that were in the 60s and.70s Nothing as old as yours though. I even had two muscle cars which were 1972 Chevelle's. Even had a 69 Cadillac with a 472 under the hood and a 64 Buick special with a 310 wildcat. Once I get my vision corrected, I'll be back on the road behind the wheel of an older ride once again.

Bret, your 29' Roadster is a stunner 💙✨. I do enjoy, seeing you spoil your birds & squirrel with the larvae. Zoomie time 😀. I'm always learning something from your channel, thank you for the video.

[@AliciaW17]

My family and I were chased and swarmed by a hive of wasps when I was a kid… we were hiking in the Cascade mountains somewhere and we were minding our own business when they literally chased us about a mile or so back out and were in our clothes stinging us and swarming our faces. It was an awful experience and I have been traumatized by wasps/hornets since! But I love watching them on my phone in the comfort of my bed! I’ve learned a lot from you since I started following you about 2 years ago! I’m slowly getting over my fear😂 Keep up the great work as always!

[@HornetKingOfficial]

I'm glad you can face your fears and now watch me from your bed in comfort! What a 180! Thanks for being here!

[@nuevaneona7615]

Seeing the birds happily eating the larva and what's left of the hive is somehow satisfactory

[@mythmancer]

I legit almost closed this video because I recognized the house. I was thinking, oh I have seen this one. But your voice over and video quality is better than it was back then so I kept watching just to learn it was the same house but a new nest lol.

[@atklm1]

By the looks it's either eastern yellow jacket or German. I initially thought it's most likely the first, but after seeing the efficiency they've built their nest and how "busy bees" they are without even being aggressive yet, they probably are our European quick nest builders, the breadwinners of pest control operators here in Europe. They are very productive in everything they do, they destroy several raspberry bushes in no time.

[@nickharling3902]

No idea what species, but thanks for these uploads. Never thought I’d enjoy watching birds eating Yellowjacket grubs, but here I am.

I have worked as a lumberjack for 20years both in the forrest, parks and private gardens.. Have to share this one! Once in a Mobile shed at a Company spot… We had some yellow jackets! We started to annoy Them by hammering on the outside Wall😁and like 500 came out swarming ! Second time we smacked on the Wall and they came back out.. A Bobtail bird came into the fight and started snatching the wasps!! -Never seen that before? Hovering like a hummingbird ❤️ We enjoyed more smacking and the bobtail enjoyed our move… We ran like 20 yards away ofcourse!!!! My buddy Anders cannot resist to annoy wasp nests, though he is alergic to Them and have both pills and atropine pen on him😂 Once he found a nest and Happy he called over to help him annoy Them🤣 It was like a manhood test in the Company! Anders sugessted to crab a leafblower and make Them fly into the intake🤣 like making a wasp Cannon !! Me: Yes do that Im not doing THAT😅 Went fine for like 5 seconds!!! Anders jumped like two feet into the Air and RAN like hell!!! Me: Dropping dead on the grass laughing🤣 Was a great summer and a very playfull buddy ❤ Thanks for educating us in wasps and their life and place in the Nature system, i knew that they snatch thousands of flies and mosquitos thru a season ! But did not know that the larve feed the wasp after the wasp feed Them?? Thanks for sharing your work! TBH i hate wasps 🫣

[@CharlesLambe]

After you pull a nest down, how long are the pupae viable? Like if your birds didn't eat them, could some develop into queens and start a new nest?

[@HornetKingOfficial]

If I pull a nest down, the PUPAE can still hatch (larvae will die). But after they hatch they will soon die, since they don't leave the nest for weeks after hatching.

German yellow jacket. Love the Ford Model A. I was able to find most of my Dads 35 Ford V8 Deluxe sedan. It was at the family farm and my Grandparents farm about 98 miles apart. I rebuilt the car from the ground up. But had most of it's part's that were stored in buckets and crate's. I remember seeing a bunch of part's to some kind of old car. He told me where the engine was and the gearbox was part of a big drill press. He had the paperwork to the car. I worked on it for years and got it put back together. I had to buy a aftermarket frame because the original frame was rotted into pieces. The reason why he took the car apart in the first place. Had to buy new aftermarket parts and peices but had the original parts to work from.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Correct! Cool story ❤

[@madmattdigs9518]

Everyone is guessing German yellow jackets because of all the envelope and the fact that they weren’t very aggressive. I’d have to agree with that. Although the yellow jackets looked a little different to me. But I don’t know… Love the car! My uncle built a 1932 model A from scratch. It took many years, but finally done. He calls it a street rod.

[@AaronsSmallEngineShop]

You should try taping a small little LED light to the tip of your vacuum could attract them right in

[@jeffcivjeep7]

Have you considered a portable dust collection system for sycking them up? Like the 1HP unit from Harbor Freight. They move a lot more volume of air than a shop vacuum and you could hold the hose up and suck the whole nest up in pieces. Plus due to the volume of air they are going to struggle getting away.

[@DetroitTyler]

Would be smart to use some tarps or something to keep them in a taped off area before working im sure. I've seen tradesman use them while dealing with ceiling mold and stuff and you wouldn't have to chase as many with a vacuum.

I know homeowners like this keep you in business, but that gap would have been filled in less than a week. I just don't understand people that ignore the fix. On the lighter side...

I certainly prefer homeowners to take my advice the first time and execute my recommendations. I always feel bad for clients who have recurring nests due to negligence. But this homeowner took the responsibility and didn't assume it was something I did (or didn't do) the previous year. He just forgot.

[@kobe8034]

[@TeresaMom1]

I have been told when taking down a yellowjacket nest you have to remove every single piece of the nest and then treat that whole area so that their smell pheromones is gone and can't be picked up by the next colony and if not they will come back and build another nest. For me when it comes to which species they are, a yellowjacket is a yellowjacket is a yellowjacket and that's enough for me.

[@Kurtdog63]

Been mowing grass since 2006 and been stung several times by yellow jackets. Also got into a batch of them while hunting early season in the Fall. I thought the briars were stabbing thru my clothes till I looked down and saw them swarming out of the ground around my legs. They went under my jacket and sleeves and stung me on the wrists and stomach. I took off running while shedding my jacket to get them out of it. Their sting is worse than a regular honey bee in my opinion.
