[@JonasC22]

a cow dumping a load on the entrance of a yellow jacket nest just made my day

[@krisbailey4279]

About 15 years ago, I did the inverted funnel trap and just left it there. The nest was pretty much done by the next day. The ones leaving get trapped, and the foragers die left out overnight.

[@Jaimas]

If you ever need to take down a flying insect and lack bug spray, use hairspray. It stiffens keratin which means they flat-out can't fly for a while if they get dosed by it.

[@vicvega3614]

They love whipped cream i get stung a lot

[@sharit7970]

I tried that and it didn't work for me : (

[@bertabound8093]

Just get the foaming Raid that shoots 6 feet. They crawl through it, cant fly, and they die. Plus it's cheaper than most hairspray. ​@sharit7970

[@michaelcatalanottohandyman]

One of the things I like about you, Shawn is that you don’t use the voiceover and that it’s all original audio which is what I am aiming for in my videos as I’m just starting out and that’s what I prefer to listen to

[@black_circle322]

Hey shawn the most likley reason these yellow jackets are building above ground is due to the heat. Over here in texas its getting to 100 degrees. Love these videos shawn!

[@aminorityofone]

its just a different species of wasp.

[@vicvega3614]

​@@aminorityofonewhat do you mean different species?

[@aminorityofone]

@@vicvega3614 like the common yellow jacket, southern hornet, bald faced hornet german yellow jacket, European paper wasp, English wasp, paper wasp. These are all waps and the way and place they construct nests vary species to species.

[@rickburoker6720]

Yellow Jackets are below ground nesters.

Always great to find one of your vids in my feed.

[@billparrish4385]

Would love to see one of those 'meat suspended above water' traps set out near one of these ground nests the day before, see how empty the nest is when dug out. If it depopulates the nest, that could be a way to make them safer when they're near human dwellings.

[@dwanpol-lovesdonuts]

I love the chicken with the snazzy hairstyle.

[@gwiyomikim5988]

That could be the “Polish” chicken. Their feathered crowns, or crests, are pretty wild and distinctive, or as you say “snazzy”!😊

[@dwanpol-lovesdonuts]

@@gwiyomikim5988 Thanks for the info. It really is a beautiful bird.

[@nyersa1]

I live in the western oregon coast range near Mary's Peak and have noticed this year has been WAY worse for yellowjackets than previous years. I've had to get rid of 5 ground nests, at least a dozen or so small terrestrial nests, and a bald faced hornet nest the size of a basketball.

[@MackeyBigBoy4014]

I've volunteered at a train museum and I've got to say, I have never seen so many yellowjackets this years. I mean, it's bad.

[@bobdunstan5457]

I live a bit north of you in the coast range and too have notices that there are way more yellow jackets this year compared with previous years. For in ground nests i just wait until the sun goes down and the pour about a cup of gasoline down the entrance. That effectively kills the nest. No need to set it afire - the gas just does the trick.

[@nyersa1]

@@bobdunstan5457 Yea my grandfather used to use diesel way back but I'd rather not be putting that stuff in the ground. I've been using Sevin dust now after dark, a little shake on the top of the nest and every one of em is dead by the end of the next day. I'd rather not really leave the insecticide laying around either but the yellow jackets are too much of a safety issue to not deal with them.

[@vicvega3614]

Ive also seen way more this year, my mom whos in her 70s and allergic had a huge nest high inside her bathroom wall and the bees were getting into the basement, its been a huge mess but i used the chicken on a board above dish soap water and ive caught hundreds. Ive also used crack foam filler and stopped them from getting in the basement but the yellow jackets are still out there.

[@mr.t5334]

Wrap the funnel section in dark tape and they will come up through the funnel towards the light. Make them think they are still in the nest and need to come to the threat

[@chancepaladin]

getting absolutely ransacked by yellowjackets and wasps, thanks!

[@patcolston2901]

Thanks Shawn Enjoy all of your videos

[@watchmanneil52776]

Just watched your video.Great info & entertainment. When I was a kid growing up on the farm and in town we had "Paper Wasps" at both locales year after year, Grundy County, IL. In Field Mice nests, under eaves, on tree limbs. I never attempted to deal with the ones twenty feet or higher but the others I'd pour gas down the holes & fire them up-- occasionally having a decent explosion. The hanging nests I'd get down with a long pruning tool and hit them with the flame thrower. Nice and toasty! Thanks again Shawn.

[@gail1959]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Reziac]

If you need to knock down a nest, don't use bug spray -- use WD40. The wasps are too busy suffocating to come after you, and they won't build another nest in that spot. (I sprayed my rafters with WD40 and no more nests, even years later.)

[@ImRandomDude]

GJ spraying petroleum distillates into ground. By that logic lets cover entire field with WD40, no more wasps... Do you also dispose motor oil into hole in ground covered with stones - like it was recommended in some 1950s book?

[@SpitfireMkIIFan]

Brake cleaner also works wonders and disables a wasp within 10 secounds. Used it multiple times during my work at a car dealer when wasps build their nests within body gaps of cars.

[@ImRandomDude]

@@SpitfireMkIIFan another genius

[@T.J-and-Soul]

Great video mate, I like your content. In Australia we have an introduced European wasp, if you were sitting near their nest like this you would be attacked by so many of them. They are vicious.

[@Salonvip]

[@loginregional]

It would be cool if you could train your chickens to attack YJ nests... HORNET VS HEN

[@MilesProwerTailsFox]

Just trow some chickens close to a nest and they go nutz on it

[@trublgrl]

The US Air Force flew a fighter jet called the McDonnel Douglas F/A-18 *Hornet,* while the Soviet Union had a small utility helicopter called the Kamov Ka-15 *Hen.* I think the Hornet would win.

Shawn. You’re so awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing. Gonna buy some shirts to support!

[@deanevangelista6359]

It’s been bad in Maryland. One of my neighbors found and destroyed FIVE nests in his 1/6 acre suburban yard. Four were subterranean, and one was in his house’s wall. We had an unusually warm winter, so I imagine more new queens survived the winter.

when you've been dealing with aboveground yellow jackets nest all season that an underground nest is "very unusual"

[@mikebond6328]

It was unusual because a cow took a dump on the nest.

[@turkey2003]

I found a yellow jacket nest going into one of my walls next to my backdoor. They stung the heck out of me when i went to move some buckets i had there. I set up a bug zapper next to the entrance at night and which i turn on at dawn and have left it on all day. The thing has killed hundreds and hundreds in 2 days. I had no idea there were so many living there! They just attack it all day long and destroy themselves launching at it. They then retreat to the nest for the night and next day use the same strategy and launch themselves at it. Very satisfying......

Idk why I wanna ask this but you should try like getting a pupa or egg from a yellow jacket nest and try to raise your own yellow jacket

I had a nest through a cedar shingle of my house. I waited for rain ,got my shop vacuum, mixed dish liquid with water &put a gallon in the bottom. Stuck the hose about an inch from the hole & tapped on the house with a hammer. You wouldn't believe how many bodies were at the bottom in 5minutes. Some would buzz by me trying to get into the entrance &I'd quickly suck them up too. That's why you keep the hose an inch from the entry
