Wasps vs. Electric Bug Zapper near Dayton. Oregon

This is my entertainment after spending the day killing yellow jackets at the farm railroad (7.5" gauge) a few miles away. These are paper nest wasps, not Yellow Jackets. Either way, they will sting multiple times if provoked. This really did "provoke" them... The honey bees in the area will breathe a bit easier after this kill-off. The ants on the ground ate well for weeks... maybe they'll STAY OUT OF MY HOUSE for a while!

[@KarmicOmen]

They are so aggressive, they get pissed off and attack what can kill them. I love it, and I hate them.

[@TheClampettmobile]

Yellow Jackets seem to be the assholes of the wasp world... (ground dwellers, usually). There were European Papernest wasps (there are many species - I don't know which one - doesn't matter - they're dead!). Be careful around all of them.

[@20xxnetwork51]

I call them Yellow Jackasses xD

[@TheClampettmobile]

ANTS on the ground were hauling the cooked carcasses away like crazy.

Birds love them too.

Thats equivalent of extra chrispy fried chicken to them

[@coondogtheman]

This is satisfying as hell to watch them fry. I hate things that sting unprovoked.

[@AgeofReason]

My dad lowered one of these lights under our porch in the 90s. Killed the whole colony over a few hours. Smelled like burning hair. The buzz of the wasps was hypnotic, they would surround the light and attack it one or more at a time. I have continued to advertise this as the safest and best method for wasp removal.

[@TheClampettmobile]

That's a great story. I love the smell of burning yellow jacket in the morning. :)

I can't believe that FIVE people (to date) didn't like this video. They must be yellow jacket lovers. Whatever.

[@TheZafootz]

Nice Work! nothing gives me more satisfaction to watch those things try to take on an electric zapper. After 3 attacks by yellow jackets I decided to build my own larger bug zapping cage and it works very well. Soon I shall test it near one of there nests and then sit back and watch the fireworks =D nice video

[@DeQBw65pqhkvStB2hrwRqw]

Did it work and how many watts/volts should I buy for a commercially-sold bug zapper?

[@TheZafootz]

@@DeQBw65pqhkvStB2hrwRqw there usually 120 volt to 4000-6000 volt transformer and the primary 120 volt coil is used as a current limiter for the light bulb. But with mine I used a 10,000 volt ignition transformer when I built it...

[@PhirePhlame]

If I may make a humble suggestion for the future, if you can disable the light then it may be a good idea to do so. Apparently there have been accounts where zappers have caused the remainder of the nest to decide that electric lights are threats.

[@spaceflight1019]

Bug zapper sez "bring it!"

[@tarasmith8314]

Just had a 50+ swarm of reddish brown wasps all on one side of my house. Probably looking to get in before the weather turns. Going to have to get myself one of these.

Which bug zapper did you buy? Thxs!

[@tr1bes]

I use this recently. The Flowtron 1.5 acres. The 1st day, it kills many pesky insects. 2nd day, it kills whatever is left. The one I hate are the mosquitoes and they are a nuisance. My wife wants bamboo and I highly do not recommend it as it is where mosquitoes lived. That's why I got the Flowtron. Now, I am free of mosquitoes. Leave it on from 7 pm to sunrise for 2 days best result. Make sure it's not raining and leave it far away from home. Also get an extension cord as Flowtron drawback is a short cord.

[@TheClampettmobile]

Sorry - I tossed the box some time ago.

[@rbyee7571]

How did you put it up there if they're flying around that area?

[@TheClampettmobile]

Move slowly to hang the zapper in place, then plug in the extension cord when I'm in the clear.

[@thebrotherboys641]

This is fun’s to wach

[@thelilredhead7005]

Did you get stung installing that up there?

[@TheClampettmobile]

Nope. At that point I wasn't a threat to them. After I plugged the zapper in they got a bit hot under the collar (pun intended)... ha!

[@Up2winPartStore]

We have a light bulb that may fit your bug zapper. We're happy to offer you a free product for you to review. Are you interested?

[@eumemo6059]

What is this product. I am having a big Hornet problem here in oregon. Even if i try to burn the nest. At this point I get stung when i even get close to their nest.

[@TheClampettmobile]

Just a bug zapper - hardware stores, Amazon... they aren't very expensive but sure are fun to watch. They also zap mosquitos (and moths).

[@TheClampettmobile]

Yup - that's Oregon. Ground dwellers are usually yellow jackets, Above ground are often European Paper Nest wasps. They ALL have a queen. And that is where this video was made - in the Willamette Valley.

[@DeQBw65pqhkvStB2hrwRqw]

Should work for idaho yellow jackets??? Spawn of Satan 🤬

[@sanjosemike3137]

It would work better if you put a piece of raw chicken in the Zapper. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

[@mowmowkittie2059]

What model is this?

[@TheClampettmobile]

I don't remember - it burned out and I bought another unit --- Any good hardware store should have them.

[@dlsjunkremoval]

Did a lot die or no?

[@TheClampettmobile]

ALL of them died - eventually. I haven't had a problem at that location since.

[@letmein_5959]

Looks like yellow jackets

[@TheClampettmobile]

Very similar. Yellow jackets are ground dwellers. Paper nest wasps build in buildings, trees, etc. (like these).
