STUNG Again by ANGRY Yellow Jackets! MASSIVE Nest Removal in Secluded Cabin!

[@sgwsteve1665]

You have a real patient and well spoken way of explaining what you're doing. Keep up the good work

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Thank you!

[@kathybrandt6060]

The view was incredible. I’m sorry you got stung on the arm that looks like it hurt. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@titaniumman_22]

That is awesome watching you feed the ol’ birdies!!!

[@jstbtwnume9110]

Rhea the Rhea has gotten huge, so regal, like Doris and Sweetie Birdie. No wonder, with that appetite. That nest was fantastic. Thanks for sharing this holiday season.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Rhea the Rhea is a bit of a diva! She has a taste for the finer things in life, it seems! Haha Merry Christmas!

[@LITTLE1994]

Dang, that one sure looked dangerous. Stay safe, Hornet King.

[@DanknDerpyGamer]

Expecting it to be huge and it winding up being bigger than that ... well ... that's a lot of yellowjackets... actually, I'm speechless seeing that many of them together. And I'm just watching a video of a removal, you saw the thing first-hand! Holy crap!

[@a.s.3904]

I could hear in your voice after the initial wall cut, that you were not "ready" for a nest like this. 😬 Grateful for guys like you that take care of these guys. If I've got a fifty foot spray, I'll gladly take out one wasp on a tiny nest. 😅😂

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Haha, idk about that. I just knew I was going to be there for a while vacuuming 😅

[@DSaba10]

PA Is beautiful. I've never lived there, but have traveled to/through quite often.

[@snowman8520]

I started watching this channel late. I'm caught up on all these videos. I might be the only wierd one here, but I need to watch at least once wasp nest removal before I go to bed. It helps me just turn everything off. Super excited I got 2 new videos back to back and not have to wait a month.

[@davefilms345]

A couple of quick questions.. 1. How often do you get stung on most jobs? Is it more or less or hardly ever. 2. Do you ever get nervous when going to each job Great video btw

[@HornetKingOfficial]

I maybe get stung once every couple weeks. Seems like when I get stung it happens in 3s 😆 I don't get nervous, but like this job, the second I opened the wall I instantly knew I was going to get behind schedule, hence my "oh boy" remarks in the video 😆

[@davefilms345]

@HornetKingOfficial fair play to you it's a job I certainly couldn't do, looking forward to your next video as always

[@crimsongamer2337]

I agree, you really can't beat that view. Sorry about getting stung in the arm, those pesky yellow jackets can be a pain.

[@nickmauro881]

You got some beautiful birds. Must be all that hornet larva keeping them fed and healthy!

[@AutTheWizard]

Don't hornets usually split off and form new nests when they get too big, which is why insanely large nests like this don't typically happen? How did this happen? I'm genuinely asking, what makes hornets decide to split off and form new nests vs just keep expanding like this?

[@BigJoe5.0]

I guess if they have enough room to keep building they just keep going.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

No. Colonies are started from one queen at the beginning of each spring and die by late fall. Honey bees split off from large colonies. So that's probably what you're thinking of.

[@Sporklez]

@@HornetKingOfficialdo they hibernate?

[@tylerpeterson4684]

@Sporklez The new queens hibernate and each starts her own nest after reemerging in the spring, but the rest of the nest dies. He explains it in some of his other videos.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

​@SporklezNo. Only new queens hibernate indidually.

[@kenselectricalserviceandge5919]

Love your videos! As a contractor, my advice to the owner of the building: it would be wise of you to run the vinyl up that gable and close in the soffits, because the insects and weather will always win! 😎

[@busbystandup1337]

Another great job today as always! I'm sorry you got stung. Stay safe!

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Thank you!

[@mariasaha8303]

Aw sorry you got stung! How long did it take for that nest to get that size? I imagine they didn’t visit the cabin for at least 4 months and when they returned it was there? Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤

[@HornetKingOfficial]

This colony was about 4.5 months old! They use the cabin usually every weekend, and had no idea it was there. As with most of my clients.

[@edgufler1122]

Thank you very much for the video and I enjoyed seeing your animals eat all that larvae.

Im not sure if this has been mentioned but I think its pretty neat you've evolved your nest eradication methods over the years.

Love what you do, you're fearless. I've tackled a few nests in full gear, last time they got through the suit, crawled up my chest, wound up in the helmet area and stung me right next to my eye. Took days to recover! German Yellow Jackets really do not mess around, I can't say I like them.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

🙋

[@iamdarkyoshi]

Can't be THE Hornet King witnout some Sting!

[@Maine307]

lets say the camp owner didnt call in the nest, seeing how we are in colder northern states, would that nest have dried up and emptied and never be use again? ..one day someone during a restoration years down the road find an old empty large nest?..or would that have been re-occupied in the next summer?

[@realeyesrealizerealies]

I wonder this too. Since they dont store food for the winter? The whole lot absconds?

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Nests all die at the end of the season. All workers, males, and original queen die. A nest like this left to go full term, will release new queens into the other wall/ceiling/flooring spaces and as they warm the cabin over the winter/spring, they would start finding a ton of queens emerge into the living space.

Are the mesh bags already nixed?!

[@Michael.Werker]

What methods were used to remove large nests in older times? Would you try to use them?

[@MillieRoseProctor-DaSilva]

What type of yellow jackets are they?

[@damyatt7676]

For those wasp stings, try After Bite. It stop the sting almost instantly.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Any topical analgesic will numb the spot. I don't bother with topicals.

[@michaelmorrison4201]

You are much better at clearing nests than you are at patching drywall as seen at 10:40! Haha I know, not your job, but it still kinda looked funny and familiar, like something I would do

Haha. It's not drywall, it's particle board. Just a temporary patch. 😉😁

[@zxggwrt]

This is insane and I’m only 4 minutes in!! How would you feel about using thermal vision to operate on a nest like this? It is $$ but in the dark they wouldn’t be so aggressive.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

I've used infrared night vision, stay tuned for the video 😁

[@zxggwrt]

@ Wow I can’t wait!

[@HKy0uma]

What are your thoughts on using glue or smoke to suffocate/trap the nest? Personally I feel those methods are not as ecofriendly as what you do.

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Glue? You have been watching too much gimmick wasp nest videos on YT. Neither one or those are actual removal methods. They are merely clickbaity videos.

[@thirstyboots6711]

Susquehanna?? I love the cabins along the Susquehanna in MD.

[@tz1592]

I LOVE your videos, sorry you got stung. Do you ever do nest removals in the winter when they are dormant? Do customers still call to have them removed in the winter months? Thanks again, happy holidays!!

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Yes, I will do removals into the winter. Nests aren't dormant, they're dead. But people still insist they pay me to remove a dead nest.

[@alishahebert4507]

When you vacuum, what happens? I assume they die, but how?

[@HornetKingOfficial]

There's soapy water in the vac canister that kills them during the removal. Centripetal force will kill a lot of them too prior to even hitting the water. I try to be as humane as possible.

[@user-zq8bt6hv9k]

any update of the rescued squirrel?

[@HornetKingOfficial]

He was released. I'll make an update video soon!

[@kencourt5045]

what do you do with all the wasps you suck up your vacuum cleaner ?

[@reverendbug]

I've always been afraid of wasps, but your videos make me less afraid of them because I get to learn more about them. I know that you've rehomed some nests of wasps on your property to keep pest populations low, and it's very reassuring to know that most wasps just want to do their thing without being bothered is all.

[@graysaw]

What river is that?

[@cristinadavis3578]

Wow, massive nest! Is that the largest one you’ve ever removed? How is the sting doing?😮

[@HornetKingOfficial]

This isn't the largest but it's one of the bigger ones. This was back in September, all better, mama 😘

[@cristinadavis3578]

@ I know, you said in the video it was September, I was just kidding about it being better by now😉

[@ksteak27]

How does one get through your gear and sting you? In this case, what happened on the wrist where the gear failed?

[@HornetKingOfficial]

It's not a failure. It's just a occupational hazard. Sweat/damp clothing + fabric compression + stinger insertion through said fabric with aid of compressed fabric.= ouchy

[@ksteak27]

Whats the cost on average for a removal..

[@HornetKingOfficial]

I charge a one time flat fee of $250 - $350 for indwelling nest removals, depending on where the client is located from me, within my service area. My typical/average fee is $250.

[@MegaAlex010101]

[@HornetKingOfficial]

Sometimes. If I do, I would just have to push the appointment time back. I make it clear at scheduling that that may be an occurrence.

[@michaelconstantinou9121]

how many stung you?

[@stevenmadden316]

Is that the Juniata or Susquehanna? Either way, great spot.

[@danielfoley5843]

I’m very curious to how it looks on the outside. Like is the attack pheromone released and are they swarming outside? Not sure where the threat is?

[@HornetKingOfficial]

The alarm pheromone triggers them to flood out of the nest. The swarming and attacking happens outside the nest at the marked threat. Inside a nest at that instance is a instant fury of activity, spastically moving around inside the nest as the guards and workers funnel to the entrance and out.

[@XxDjthadestroyerxX]

You gotta run a sweepstakes where someone gets to come on a removal with you! It would be amazing
