One of my preferred tactics when dealing with large hornet nests is to run in circles and in a high pitched voice, repeatedly yell, "Get em off me, get em off me"! Works every time...
I had these MF’s in my house! One day I was folding clothes, and noticed a couple buzzing against the window. I go downstairs where I saw one flying up from, and (“Psycho” shower scene violins played in my head!!)
They were coming out of from my ceiling!! They built a nest under the roof space. I left for work, called exterminator, and wouldn’t come home until they were removed!! Oh, and stepping on left over corpses hidden in carpet hurts too. Apparently, they become zombie jackets!
They taste like blueberries, I bit one on accident when one fell in my milkshake as I was talking with friends when I was a kid, thinking the waps was a chunk of ice.
I ended up with one in my mouth once. (At a nature preserve with a bottle of root beer.) One yellow jacket can sting multiple times in areas such as under the tongue, the roof of the mouth, top and bottom gums... Shoulda gone to the emergency room, but I was stubborn. Also, there's no way for human beings to indicate there's a wasp in one's mouth. Everyone will simply assume you're possessed by demons until you've peeled its tiny pincer legs off your own damn lips.
DYI Trap really works. Killed 2-3000 in 2 days. Numbers traped tanked on 3rd day, almost none day 4. I think larve yellow jackets are not fed and dying and the nest has collapsed. Very satisfied. Will keep it going.
@@billy3161 There is over 4000 species of bees in North America Not one one of them is a honey bee. So Gold Neka is right in that Honey bees are an invasive insect. They are " good bees" because folks make money from them. My neighbour has two hives in his backyard that is 100,000 bees in the peak of summer there are two other people on my street that also have two hives each So inside of 500 feet there are 300,000 bees non indigenous bees There is only so much food to go around. I have tried to find more info on this but I can't find anyone who has studied the effect of Honey Bees on Native Bee populations
The most effective way I've found to destroy the nest is to pour sand in the entrance and then spray the sand with the wasp spray. If you just spray down the hole, only some of them get hit and they all come out. If you pour the sand over the hole, you've trapped them and once the spray is on the sand, they'll be poisoned as they try to dig their way back out. Just make sure it isn't going to rain.
Last year I had yellow jackets that made a hanging nest or else the wife’s made a nest and they moved in. I could not find a hole where they were living. Edit: not the “wife’s”… the WASPS 🤦♀️
I had a wasp start a small nest above my front door. After killing the wasp, I left the tiny nest up there. No other wasp has tried to build a nest there in the years that have gone by. I did the same with a mud daubber nest above a window.
I want to set up this trap at my son’s school - he was stung a few weeks ago by some very aggressive yellow jackets going after his lunch. I think this is a great little project for kids. Thanks Shaun!!!
Thanks Shawn. Very satisfying. Most bees are mellow and of course very beneficial. Yellowjackets have ruined many a relaxing outdoor cocktail hour. They're punks and it's great to see them dealt with. I've used the PIC trap and it worked pretty well with just apple juice but your homemade trap seemed to be nuclear winter for them.
Wow! I have to say, when you scooped up a handful of dead yellow jackets like they were a bunch of pieces of popcorn or something, I got the heebie jeebies.
Our new Climate Change Overlords will soon "persuade" us to eat them. Bugs are the he new chicken, only they taste much better, they will assure us! So, crunch away, munch away, and do your part to save the planet!!
"We've destroyed their nest. They'll never forget that, let alone forgive it. And the survivors of a nest learn, become smarter." As he spoke, he casually raised the club still covered in wasp remains. "There is no reason to let them live." "Even if there was...a good wasp?" "A good wasp?" He exhaled in a way that suggested that he was truly mystified by the idea. "There might be...if we looked, but..." He said nothing for a long moment. Then he spoke. "The only good wasps are the ones that never come out of their holes."
You are crazy for digging them up... I had some in my backyard. I would get stung when I cut the yard. Live and let live... BUT when they stung my little Dachshund, that was War. So I found their hole, went out at night, sprayed it, put a brick on the hole, then put a hose by under the hole, and left it soak overnight. Next morning, a very soggy dead nest. I love your ideas. Great job.
Yep, I did something similar once a few years ago - apparently the yellowjackets had made their nest very near to a mole or gopher tunnel as the next morning I woke up to dozens of little fountains from where the water breached the hive and flooded the tunnels.
@Player 1 No, that's a terrible idea - burning an underground nest would kill the lawn at best. Worst case scenario would be the fire spreading through hidden tunnels and catching trees on fire, which would fall into the house and destroy it. With water, you get a soggy lawn for a day or two, a bunch of drowned assholes, and possible a few new indentations where gopher and mole dens collapsed.

I would have just weighed them. Then you can see which caught the most fairly easily and approximate the number from the average weight of 3 individuals.
I know from personal experience this is no protection. Even heavy duty denim isn't yellow jacket proof. If he has that many yellow jackets, he needs to buy a beekeepers outfit. I'm convinced this man is a masochist.
I just tried this AMAZING trap in Greece. 200 wasps in 2 hrs, and counting. In my case, I also consider wind as a game-changer: Once I moved the trap to a place with just some wind, almost no wasp made it out of the trap (vs in a quiet place I initially placed it). I was also very impressed by how quickly they were drowned; in just 5 seconds the were already dead!
Ivane Rodriguez wasp & Hornets eat meat too! While honey bees pollenate flowers & make honey! Wasp pollenate too but eat other insects too!? Kinda like ants just annoying & hurting the productive insects! Kill the yellow jackets & save the honeybees!!👍
We made a trap (not this trap) for a yellow jacket nest next to our house. We used the soap and water method, but the bait was fruit and honey mixed in the water. It only caught a few yellow jackets that day, we left it over night, and the next day something had come by and dug up their nest! Later I was reading that supposedly you can pour honey around the yellow jacket nest to attract raccoons/skunks etc, and they will gladly dig the nest up (especially in fall) to get at the protein rich larva and apparently they don't mind the stings?
Oh, that's really cool! We had huge amounts of humming birds on our porch frequenting after the 6 sugar-water (no dye, just half sugar half water) feeders set up. Everything was fine until the fire nation attacked. (Lol I mean the hornets and all manner of stinging things came by and started fighting with the birds.)
To those dislikers. You guys are heartless. And this is a tutorial on how to protect you and your loved ones from yellow jackets. Keep it going Shawn Woods.
Years ago, I mowed over a nest without knowing... then I knew! Left the mower to run till it ran out of gas. Hymenoptera mostly come back to the nest at dusk. Pour about a quart of gasoline in the hole and cover till morning. The fumes will completely eliminate them.
You can also just weigh one yellow jacket on a scale and then weigh the whole bunch and divide the total weight by the weight of the single yellow jacket. That's what I would do at least.
Great information my granddaughter was strung by a few dozen yellow jackets last year, this year is the worst and all stores are sold out of products so your homemade one is a god send thanks
In today's world, all you need is, money, and a nice car, and there you go. Loyal women who really love you, and aren't gold diggers are a rarity nowadays.
"Like" count at 69. Who will be the party pooper and make it 70? PS: if you catch 1,000 girls in a few hours, one of two things will probably happen: 1) you will catch something other than girls, and 2) Chris Hanson will make a guest appearance
Shawn Woods... YOU Sir, continue to be my trapping HERO! I'm a poultry and honeybee owner/manager and have had an ongoing challenge to remove the yellowjackets without causing injury to the beneficial insects and most of all, protect the HoneyBees. I've used all of those traps for years and AVOID the WHY trap and bait (it catches honey bees) hmmm chicken carcass ("> I wonder if they show a preference for cooked over uncooked chicken? Again, please avoid the WHY baits... honeybees go to them. thank you as always, great information AND you, just as with the mice you catch, seem to have an overabundance of pests... strange, very strange... thumbs UP as always.
Frederick Dunn you're right I saw a why trap next to a used cooking oil container behind a meat market and saw lots of bees in it there was a few wasps but lots of bees.
Excellent video! I've read that meat or meat grease works best in spring when they seek protein but sugary water is best later in summer. Supposed to add a drop of vinegar to avoid trapping bees, but not too much or the wasps will keep away too. Havent founs the ratio anywhere though
My son has been watching your videos for the better part of three years. He is now 10 years old and just loves all the videos you make regarding capturing mace, and other things.
Early in the year the yellowjackets will be looking for meat to feed the larvae; the adults themselves will be feeding on a carb-rich excretion from the larvae. Late in the summer, after the larvae have hatched, the adults will prefer to find sugar sources to feed on directly.
Is it drawing a swarm though, so you're seeing more and more? Or is it visibly eliminating them so you're seeing fewer and fewer? I'm a woman and I'm on my own doing this. I may use cat food.
I once asked a friend what was the point of wasps. He replied what was the point of us. David Attenborough says there's no point to life, we're here because we're here, because we're here.
Friend and I when we were like 14 went to the creek by our house, stepped on a ground hornet (yellow jacket) nest....we almost died no joke. Stung like 40 times each. Meat tenderizer paste works wonders to draw the venom out!
about seven stings took me out of action for a while when I went over a YJ nest with a string trimmer. I swell up worse on YJ stings than any other. After hornets this time.
You're extremely diligent and dedicated to catch all those yellow jackets and count them. Thanks for going to all that effort to produce this (very useful) video! Excellent job!
I saw a good one on one video. Someone attached a mesh to a big fan and sprayed it with rubbing alcohol. Killed a bunch. EDIT: just search "greenpowerscience mosquito"
Christina Farewell nope I live in Italy.. what I hate the most are the non-native tiger mosquitoes which basically conquered the entire peninsula in 20-30 years
For Bees in the ground: Wait until dark, all the bees will be in for the night. Boil water in a large pot. Use gloves to safely handle the hot pot. Pour the boiling water steadily into the hole, filling it constantly. Works fast and COMPLETELY kills the nest. Be careful to not burn yourself. Collapse the hole or fill it with dirt.
I found well over 15+ nest around my land and had them removed, still had these wasp flying around so built one of these and 2 days later i haven't seen one around, but i also keep the PIC wasp trap up just in case, great video helped a lot.
Bees v Wasps: Bee - just wants to do it's job Wasp - has no job Bee - makes honey Wasp - does bugger all except annoy humans Bee - has the courtesy to die if it harms you Wasp - virtually immortal Bees - makes a loud buzzing sound to warn you it's near Wasp - sneaky gits
Some species of wasps are pollinating flowers, but since most don't and will kill honey bees... they could probably go extinct and replaced by bees and everything would remain the same.
@@CassieMaas Last year, two wasp queens made nests in air bricks at the front of my house. I cannot use pesticides, so the only way I could deal with them was with a rolled up newspaper, swatting them as they came and went. Final score: Me many thousands, Them 2.
Awesome job. I had a yellow jacket nest in the bank behind my farm shed here in Tasmania. I tried several attempts to trap them using coke bottle traps baited with honey and lamb mince with minimal success ( 3-4 a day in each trap). In the end I made a mix of 2L of 50:1 two stroke mix, and 3L of diesel that I had been soaking parts in when servicing my excavator ( about 50ml each of old grease and oil) and used an old weed sprayer to spray the fuel mix into the several entrance holes to the nest. At 10pm ( about 2hours after sunset when all the buggers were in the nest) I then sprayed a trail about 5m away and lit it with a blowtorch. The fire burned in, and after a few seconds it went off like a cannon showering burning yellow jackets and other crud about 8m out from the holes. Was a beautiful sight. I’ll have to film it if I need to do it again. My hot tip to avoid being attacked when destroying the nest is to do it at night.
Shawn Woods, you kept talking about how you were going to protect yourself with the Glasses, Hoodie, Gloves and Hat... but what did you use to protect your Groin area?!? Dude, to go after 1,000 Yellow Jackets by yourself, you must truly have some HUGE BALLS!!! 🐝
At the end when he was seeing how many he had caught I was watching him just talk about and I was like as long as u don't touch it, I'm good with that, and then HE PICKS UP A FRIGN HAND FULL!!! WHO DOES THAT????!?!?!?
Other yellow jackets: AAAARGH OH GOD THE AGONY, AAAABBLBLBLBLBLBLL- New yellow jackets: Hey Frank, how’s it going? Ooh, chicken! Ah, that was good stuff, time to fly awa- BLBLBLBLBLL-
Law in my Country: "Wasps are protected. You have to call the Firefighters to relocate any nests around your House. Btw that will cost you." Me: "Karen, get the Bucket."
@ZYEV Suicide is the act of *intentionally* causing one's own death. Mental disorders, including depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and substance abuse-including alcoholism and the use of benzodiazepines-are risk factors.
Excellent! Been fighting a yellow jacket war with trying to keep them off my hummingbird feeders. I've been successfull with great effort, but I will try this next time. Thank you!
More yellowjacket death porn please. I don't care what ppl say, they serve no purpose. Plenty of other insects and scavengers can take up the slack in the ecosystem. Love your videos and respect your growth as a content creator. Keep up the great work.
@francislematt7079 They are also pollinators. They are all over the clover blooms. Wasps also kill other insect pests. There is a purpose for everything in nature. Also, skunks love yellow jackets. The circle of life.
He has gloves. I crushed a solitary wasp with my bare hands by pressing its head between a window and window blind. Killed another one with a vacuum cleaner.
The Asian Wasp, Hornets and Yellow Jacket vids I watch have them using glue cardboards. Those giant hornets really put up a godzilla fight and get nailed in a couple dozen places.
I've built a homemade trap using a plastic milk carton. Put a 1 inch size hole in all 4 sides. Fill with water/soap mix and suspend meat by attaching to lid with a string...zero cost and works great.
Thanks for the great trap idea. I'm going to try it on the Giant Japanese hornets. They also like meat and are now going after my honey bees. They make me very angry.

They freaking bite people too the greedy buggers.
In certain situations, they eat the protein-rich larvae
Their larves eat meat

We made a trap (not this trap) for a yellow jacket nest next to our house. We used the soap and water method, but the bait was fruit and honey mixed in the water. It only caught a few yellow jackets that day, we left it over night, and the next day something had come by and dug up their nest! Later I was reading that supposedly you can pour honey around the yellow jacket nest to attract raccoons/skunks etc, and they will gladly dig the nest up (especially in fall) to get at the protein rich larva and apparently they don't mind the stings?
Oh, that's really cool! We had huge amounts of humming birds on our porch frequenting after the 6 sugar-water (no dye, just half sugar half water) feeders set up. Everything was fine until the fire nation attacked. (Lol I mean the hornets and all manner of stinging things came by and started fighting with the birds.)
I'm not keen on dealing with pests but wouldn't that increase the chance of getting raccoon/skunk problem in the long run?

@@itryhard4809 ik what ur thinking and idk why you did
Years ago, I mowed over a nest without knowing... then I knew! Left the mower to run till it ran out of gas. Hymenoptera mostly come back to the nest at dusk. Pour about a quart of gasoline in the hole and cover till morning. The fumes will completely eliminate them.

i think it's fine, if you don't squeeze them. It needs some pressure to stick the sting into your skin. His skin looks also thick...
Anyone else wigged out when he keeps grabbing handfulls of dead wasps and playing when them in his fingers?

Lmao. I can't believe he actually counted them. Real hero.
How bout the guys who count sperm?
Ex PM John Major used to count the peas on his dinner plate. True story.
You can also just weigh one yellow jacket on a scale and then weigh the whole bunch and divide the total weight by the weight of the single yellow jacket. That's what I would do at least.

Shawn Woods... YOU Sir, continue to be my trapping HERO! I'm a poultry and honeybee owner/manager and have had an ongoing challenge to remove the yellowjackets without causing injury to the beneficial insects and most of all, protect the HoneyBees. I've used all of those traps for years and AVOID the WHY trap and bait (it catches honey bees) hmmm chicken carcass ("> I wonder if they show a preference for cooked over uncooked chicken? Again, please avoid the WHY baits... honeybees go to them. thank you as always, great information AND you, just as with the mice you catch, seem to have an overabundance of pests... strange, very strange... thumbs UP as always.
Your unclosed parentheses makes me nervous
Do you mean my chicken face? ("> that? Or did I mess something else up?
Ooo that's a chicken face... Glad we sorted that out!
Frederick Dunn I like your chicken face (">
Frederick Dunn you're right I saw a why trap next to a used cooking oil container behind a meat market and saw lots of bees in it there was a few wasps but lots of bees.
Excellent video! I've read that meat or meat grease works best in spring when they seek protein but sugary water is best later in summer. Supposed to add a drop of vinegar to avoid trapping bees, but not too much or the wasps will keep away too. Havent founs the ratio anywhere though
If aliens/giants did the same trap with fried chicken i prob die trying to eat it too

Why would anyone want to handle them after they had a big pile of them like that?
It was satisfying for me to see those devils dead.
Hell yeah, I would pass out just touching it
Early in the year the yellowjackets will be looking for meat to feed the larvae; the adults themselves will be feeding on a carb-rich excretion from the larvae. Late in the summer, after the larvae have hatched, the adults will prefer to find sugar sources to feed on directly.
So good to know! We just tried this trap and got nothing and I wondered if the meat just wasn't attracting them.
I found this to be just the opposite in order.
Dude you have all my respect for digging up a yellow jacket nest after a brief squirt of the foam WHATTTT
When I did this I had the meat but I also added sugar to the water.
@@WalleyeGuy4 Did the sugar water attract honey or bumble bees too?
I just made your trap and within five minutes there’s probably more close to 100 yellow jackets inside it works so good thank you so much
Is it drawing a swarm though, so you're seeing more and more? Or is it visibly eliminating them so you're seeing fewer and fewer? I'm a woman and I'm on my own doing this. I may use cat food.

Christina Farewell nope I live in Italy.. what I hate the most are the non-native tiger mosquitoes which basically conquered the entire peninsula in 20-30 years
For Bees in the ground:
Wait until dark, all the bees will be in for the night.
Boil water in a large pot.
Use gloves to safely handle the hot pot.
Pour the boiling water steadily into the hole, filling it constantly.
Works fast and COMPLETELY kills the nest.
Be careful to not burn yourself.
Collapse the hole or fill it with dirt.
Mr Shawn. Got any mosquito traps up your sleaves?
The best I've ever seen was a box fan with a piece of window screen on the exhaust side. They can catch double-handfuls in one night.

Awesome job. I had a yellow jacket nest in the bank behind my farm shed here in Tasmania. I tried several attempts to trap them using coke bottle traps baited with honey and lamb mince with minimal success ( 3-4 a day in each trap).
In the end I made a mix of 2L of 50:1 two stroke mix, and 3L of diesel that I had been soaking parts in when servicing my excavator ( about 50ml each of old grease and oil) and used an old weed sprayer to spray the fuel mix into the several entrance holes to the nest. At 10pm ( about 2hours after sunset when all the buggers were in the nest) I then sprayed a trail about 5m away and lit it with a blowtorch. The fire burned in, and after a few seconds it went off like a cannon showering burning yellow jackets and other crud about 8m out from the holes. Was a beautiful sight. I’ll have to film it if I need to do it again.
My hot tip to avoid being attacked when destroying the nest is to do it at night.
🤣
