Removing 2 MASSIVE Hornet nests! Wasp Nest Removals

[@spikrib]

I found this channel because my house had a huge wasp problem (my dads house is a magnet to them in the attic where I stayed, due to the wood they used to build it) and every summer they’d infest the house. I used to be terrified of them but you educated me to the point where I can walk up to a paper wasp nest, pull it down and tweeze the larva down where the older me would’ve ran and screamed in terror at the sight of them. I really appreciate how educational your videos are and how you’ve taught me so much about a species I would’ve likely lived in long term fear of because I didn’t understand them. In fact I started feeding a wasp nectar and it’s gotten to the point where I was able to “tame” it for the summer. I will be sad when it dies out in the fall but I look forward to meeting its offspring in the next summer. Thank you hornet king

I recently saw a video of a guy using gorilla glue spray on a bald faced hornet nest, and i couldn't help but think that it was really cruel and inhumane. Not to mention that he forgot about all the foregers that still had to come back. I learned this from you, Hornet King. Thank you for the education, and thank you for doing things the RIGHT way.😊

[@SireneKalypso]

He literally pulls them into a vacuum to suffocate to death. 😐

[@BreadApologist]

There was a wasp nest I tried to remove once, It was a small one. I attempted to learn waspanese to communicate with them but OF COURSE they spoke a different dialect, so it was a barrier. A few weeks of dialogue ensued, but we frequently ran into roadblocks on swarm policy and nest location policy. The Queen had run a campaign durring nest construction about nest pride and it was still too fresh in the minds of the workers to easily relocate, even to a better location. Talks went on less fequently untill the bay of bird bathia incident when while on a diplomatic mission to speak to some worker wasps, I was stung 2 times. I had a letter sent to the nest stating this was an act of war and they had 3 days to move out. They failed to do so and I was forced to unleash tactical chemical weapons on the nest.

[@trevgauntletneu_gaming]

Shawn Woods is very knowledgeable with rodents, and I like his content. But you educate people on various wasp/hornet species and the dangers if you aren't careful. Honestly, I would love to see a collaboration video.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Working on it!!

[@Savantrovert]

Have you ever thought about doing a historical video on how people used to take care of wasps and hornets? Obviously they still would have used some type of thick clothing to avoid stings, but I'm curious as to what they used to take care of nests in problem areas before things like vacuums and strong insecticides were invented.

[@giacondaesposito]

that would be interesting!

[@paulf2529]

Quick lime (non slacked would work effectively).

[@ridge152]

Following you for a while and your content has made me more comfortable around wasps. They don't bother me at all. There's a large HVAC unit that produces a reliable water source where I work, and I am aware of the dedicated flight paths (being in an Aviation background). I have to walk this path all day every day to make sure my workers are good and send info up to my bosses. Also, there is a nest outside the front door of the building I live in that I have been watching grow all summer. It's fascinating to watch the Ladies work. It's the little things in life, Keep Rockin Hornet King!

[@thelorneparkrailfanner3586]

This work is incredibly satisfying to watch. watching you every day brightens up my mood and I want to thank you for being here on KZbin and sharing your wonderful content with us!!

[@tomyat3474]

I love how you called Sean out for copying your video content. As soon as you walked out with the box of mouse traps, I knew exactly who you were talking about. I follow his channel also and I noticed lately he had been doing a lot of wasp removals and started saying he was going to feed them to his chickens and I immediately thought hey he's copying the Hornet King. Those who have been following you for a long time know who the 🐝OG is.

[@thisguy0192]

That first nest had me thinking of the Grinch "I wouldn't touch you with a 39 1/2 foot pole" except HK has no prob with a 39 1/2 foot vac nozzle 😂

Nice catch! You are fun to watch. You really show an energy and enjoyment in what you do. I've learned a lot and really appreciate what you do. Please stay safe, and God bless.

[@Llama1077]

Been binging your videos tonight! Very interesting learning some of the science behind wasps & hornets. Enjoyed the Derek reference in this one! Sub'ed!

[@NickLombardi-zv7yc]

Your channel was suggested to me and I’m glad it was. My favorite parts of your videos are when you feed the nests to your birds and the larva to your squirrel. I enjoy seeing the bond you have with them.

[@nashguy207]

Another great video by Hornet King. I have been watching Josh's channel for a few years as well!

[@NOTHINGTOSEEAHAHAH]

I just wanna say I love your channel so much. You're so professional when you're on site removing nests, but god your personality really shines through when you feed your birds. It's adorable.

[@cristinadavis3578]

That was great, Bret!! Made me laugh when Doris shook her head when she took a bite.😂

Thanks, Mama! 😘

[@Kebab136]

The easiest way to remove a wasp nest and protect yourself properly, as a house owner, is to check out your house regularly at summer and late spring, cause if you locate a wasp nest at early stage, when it's just one small comb with a dozen active workers or something around that, and it's in any reasonably reachable space, is to just come back at night and casually pack the nest into a bag, like using a bag to wrap around the nest and then just pull it out of the wall/ceiling/roofing and tying the bag. When i was a kid i used to help my grandma remove nests like this, she lives in the countryside... well it's more like a small village far from any city, and her house was really small and old, and it's located at the very end of the village, even separated from the rest by bushes. The house is basically aside of the village, with its own dirt road and a lot of meadows and bushes around it - basically an insect heaven. Her attic was like a wasp spawn point, and the roof was very low and sloped, so you would enter the attic, in its entirety it was maybe like 6x10 meters at max, but i might even remember it as bigger as it was years since i was there at the attic, and the highest point would be right above my head, so when i passed anything hanging there, or a roofing log, i'd have to duck. Every summer there was between 5 and 12 nests there just scattered across the rooftiles. We used to go there at night with plastic bags and just load them starting from the entrance. One time it was in the middle of the summer and some of the combs were already like 2 layers and 30 cm diameter. One time a nest fell down and we had to run, mostly from panic, as the wasps weren't really instantly attack, i believe two launched at us and we panicked. We then usually made a campfire and burned them all. There was also a barn that was a lot bigger and there we only scooped nests that were on the outside under the roof as we could reach that from ladder, but those high above in the middle of the roof sometimes grew to tremendous sizes. Anyways just check your attic early to mid summer like every few days and if you see a small nest being built - scoop it up at night when all of the workers are nesting, with them on it, and then deal with them however you please - just make sure the bag is sealed tight and it has no holes! Otherwise it's a big no-no.

[@Emma-pl9gt]

Newsflash today, here in England! Asian Hornets are discovered in Kent - that's Southeastern England, about 3 hours from me. There have been several sightings already. We are told to call this number (given out) if we witness any sightings. They don't think they're established yet! This is terrifying, I immediately thought of you. WE NEED YOU!!! 🙏 😅

[@Hamburglar7]

I love everything about bald face hornets. The nest design and look of them. They are awesome!🎉

[@loganraposo91]

1:04 when you witness Clark Kent become the Hornet King right before your eyes hahahaha, awesome video as always!

[@brixiu5]

Haha. I actually found this channel from suggested videos from Shawn's. Glad you seem to enjoy his content too. Cheers!

[@donnawilliams7033]

The way how he was talking at the end was magnificent

[@chevingladden5146]

HK, I've been watching your channel for a couple years now. I've stopped removing nests after learning about the importance of hornets to the ecosystem. My pest control company came out and showed me a decent size nest and asked me what I wanted to do. Turns out he was a fan of your channel too! He's made notes regarding not spraying wasp nests on my property, unless the nest is in a place it could endanger my dogs. I wonder how many people you have educated about wasps?

[@michaelnicholss6421]

I loved the start to this video 😂😂 always a fun time here on your channel

[@BeingNancy]

Note to self. Remember to bring the larvae to room temperature before feeding the animals. Oh, and remind the Hornet Queen when I stash hornet nests in the family freezer.👸🏼 Great video as usual. Nice to see talented creators collaborating. 🌻🌻🌻

[@jrock2460]

LOL - Shawn woods. I’ve been following him for about the same amount of time as you. Great opening!!

[@HornetKingOfficial]

He's a great guy! Always enjoy his videos!

[@MatthewBrannigan]

I loved the little dig at Shawn! He needs to stay in his lane! Not really, there's room for both of you (but you are wayyy better obviously)

[@AerotofuKO]

Ive been watching your videos between and after classes so much that a couple days ago I saw a dead hornet on the ground and had this instinctual “oh that’s a bald faced hornet” and looked up and saw a nest on an awning I was just sitting under hahaha i’m learning!

[@element_47]

Lol I put the video on and then got up to get a drink, so I could only hear what you were saying at first... I totally thought you were ripping off mouse trap Monday for a sec. Then it just kept getting worse lmao.. Then I came back in and looked at the TV and saw your shirt😂😂 that's was pretty good

[@yunalesca53]

I work in pest control, NGL glad this channel helped me how to remove nest, effectively and safely. Scary the first time around, but after seeing and learning from here it definitely got easier to deal with them.

[@beanwl]

I've been watching both channels at the same time. Yes, he did take the same idea from you guys. Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

I removed 2 European hornet nests, a honeybee hive and a yellow jacket nest this week myself. It’s nice to get most of the foragers to keep the customers safe! Thanks!

[@imagin916]

You are supposed to call a beekeeper for honeybees, it’s actually the law in some areas to do this and not destroy the hive. If you killed them then you just told on yourself about doing a really bad thing.

[@FloofersFX]

Not the bees, we need more respect for those :

New viewers would be like “wtf?” Yay, welcome Josh! Have fun! 😂

[@richvail7551]

Quick question. In this 2 for 1 deal video you did your regular process and you did the garbage bag version. In both versions there’s wasps left flying around looking for the nest. I don’t see any difference in how vacuuming them is reducing that situation. Wasps will fly away and then come back either way. Is there maybe a better comparison test you can do to solidify your position? Thanks

You should start hanging out on the WASPS subreddit, a surprising number of people come asking for IDs or just more information about wasps.

[@vincentwesolowski459]

On bagging the nest and the foragers return, will they eventually leave on their own, or start building a new nest. If they build a nest there will not be a new Queen?

I wish you had rescued this one! What a beautiful nest!

I have a Hornets nest that has just been made outside my window of my room...I dont know how I should go about getting rid of them what should i do? And the window is on the second floor of my house.

We have a groundhog infestation here in my neighborhood in Detroit. They are everywhere. I learned something today. I was sitting on my deck in my backyeard and saw what I though was my squirrel buddy in a tree, about 15ft up. I did a double take. Nope....it was a groundhog! I saw a groundhog in a tree. I did not know they climbed trees!

[@animoetprudentia2865]

Nice content. Question; yellow hornets are building a nest on the back of a chair on my front porch. I figured I'd drop a contactor bag over it at night when they're chill and move the whole chair to some property till winter. Is it best to wait till they're finished building it? They aren't inside it yet, so they are hanging outside at the moment.

[@JoifullyNatural]

He dumps it out in the compost pile. They aren't "trapped." they're very, very dead

[@jonnash5196]

There s a few inches of water with a little soap in it (dish soap?) . When the hornets get in the water they die. Some of them may die just from the trauma of being sucked through the hose .

[@Barboron]

If you just bag a nest and the returning forages try rebuild a nest, could they get a new queen? Would they perhaps welcome a queen born from another colony? Or just eventually die off?

[@HornetKingOfficial]

No, they won't make a new Queen, like honey bees. They will try to keep building nest and linger in the area. Home owners would be concerned there's still building going on.

We just returned from camping on the St Lawrence River in northern NY. we had a huge problem with yellow jackets swarming us when we ate. I am very allergic so i tried my hardest to ignore them but they got into our soda cans( FYI get bottles if you are eating outside. I came very close to drinking one in my soda can)Then the day before our last day my nephew looked at a tree and said they were right there the whole time. there was a nest in the tree across from us as well. Your videos help me alot but being allergic i always have fear and i was told yellow jackets can sense your fear, is that true.

A little Pyrethrum Dust or liquid spray in the entrance does a great job, on ground and aerial nesters. With in 24 to 48 hours the nest is dead and can come down safely. It is pet. dog and bird, (if you have a cat read the label) and human friendly.

[@AC3handle]

yours is the ONLY channel that uses a vacuum. Hell, I've seen other channels use FIRE. And Ice. Literal dry ice. And each time I'm like, 'dudes...wouldn't that be easier using a vacuume?' Still never seen anyone switch to a vacuume.
