Footage from a 7/26/2017 job for a nest built under the customer's power meter. This would have been a surprise for the meter reader! Of course I removed the nest after the vacuuming process.
Steve Leahy still won't increase the suction near enough for this method to do a damn. If he was smart and wanted to remove it without feeling the need to make a video, he would come back at night, put a garbage bag around it and slide a knife down the backside. Wouldnt even come across a one as well as be finished in under 3 min
I know it’s probably just my ocd, but Why does no one in these videos ever rotate the nozzle attachment so that it’s rim is flush over the hole for better suction?
Good question. Because you have to account for all of the wasps returning from foraging, which in a nest the size of the one in this video could be 200+ (this is why you can not block the entrance). When I do a removal such as this in the beginning (the first 15 minutes) there are the maximum number of wasps and my aim is to draw down their numbers so this involves holding the hose about an inch from the entrance for the most efficient catching. I have learned that simply placing the hose over the nest entrance will not suck them all out! Also, many nests later in the season have more than one entrance/exit for angry workers to come out and attack. Remember, these are edited videos and the entire process is not filmed. What I like about this work is that no two jobs are the same and depending on the species, where the nest is, and the colony itself, different approaches and tools are required. I appreciate the views and feedback. Here in PA the wasp season is over and I am only getting calls here and there about empty nests but I plan to be back next year!
I'm on the other side of your fascination, I've grown up for years with a morbid fear of wasps! Your videos are helping me get over it, so thanks man, love what you're doing and love that it's poison free.
I once was gardening with a bunch of hanging basket plants and pulled what I thought was a mud ball off of the side of one of these plants while speaking with my boyfriend when I turned back around to look at my hand I was covered in wasps and he saved my life by squirting my arm with the hose or I would have died because I'm deathly allergic to stinging insects, so wherever you are thank you Ralph you saved my life
See the above comment. I could invest in a shop vac with more power but no matter how strong the vacuum is, some will be missed. Try it yourself and you will see what I mean : )
I've seen videos where he uses this same vacuum and it performs just fine. Maybe he was trying not to damage the nest to keep the hornets coming back? Not sure, though.
That is correct. I did not want to damage the nest with the vacuum. Also, with these insects, they are quicker and stronger and more agile than you would think. The hose must be right under them when they are in flight, and if they are walking on the envelope their tarsal claws help them stay on the nest and they can walk away to safety.
Dude....tbe fact thaf you are suited up with protective clothing and are wearing that net over your head and face and you manage to still get stung is exactly why i would never attempt that profession....you got balls!
+herc1120 greetings from UK England Essex I go to Italy to help my granma she gets hornets under gas tank if they gets in a tree I gives em bird shot no 11 smallest shot works best great video dude 👍🐺🐾
I work in broadcasting and radio transmitters are meccas for all wasps (Bald faced, umbrella wasps, the ones that are fuzzy that build a nest like a baldfaced but smaller, European and Native yellow jackets...) I had one nest once built right in the corner of the door. Unlocked the door and as it opened it tore it in half. Luckily it was at night. I shut off the light and ran. I had another one where they built the nest on one of the insulators of an AM tower. AM towers are usually hot-- the radio signal ties to the tower and the tower is the antenna. The outlet of the nest was in line with the discharge gap and once in a while they would fly right into the gap and get vaporized by the energy (ZZZAP!). I even had a nest built inside a power line regulator. I try to visit sites once a week in the summer so they don't get so big.
Last year at my buddies house he says to me that his satellite TV isn't working right. We walk around the back side of the house and look up and low and behold a hornets nest on the transmitter. Called dish out and the guy installed a new dish at no cost. Said he had never seen anything like that before lol
Love all the ppl telling u that you have junk equipment and need a new vacuum.. money doesn't come so easy for most ppl lol. Awesome video you for sharing
Ya know..if you just wait until late night, throw a garbage bag (heavy law type with drawstring) over the whole mess and break the hive off in the bad and seal it up. It would save you hours of getting stung.....just sayin.
Did you know that when the nest is very small you can get them use to you. You become part of their environment, they know your scent and totally ignore you. You start the process off by quietly watching them when there's just the Queen and a couple of workers, you must stay close and calm to do this. We had a huge nest which we sat under and occasionally bumped when mowing the lawn, they never swarmed nor stung any of us, came out and looked then went back inside as if to say; oh it's only the humans again. We even shined a flashlight up into the nest with our faces right next to the entrance, got no reaction from them. Our neighbors did however give a reaction to the nest and wanted it down, but since no one was ever stung, dad left it up all summer until fall when the colony died out. True story.
Once had a HUGE nest of yellow jackets in the ground next to the water meter. Meter reader and another dude were dancing in my front yard before i realize that they werent dancing. They were stung so many times it landed them in the ICU
I was a landscaper for 15 years and this one job we accidentally found a black bald hornet nest like this one but it was on the ground attached to some evergreen ground cover and there were river rocks scattered throughout so it blended in perfectly. well, my co worker was trimming some bushes around it and thought it was a rock and his boot went right through it and chaos erupted as hundreds of those little devils attacked us. i got stung 9 times (as did a few of my co workers) but the guy who stepped on the nest said he got stung 55 times and he got rushed to the hospital and was sick for a few days. he is lucky to be alive in my opinion! ive came across a dozen of these nests in my time but ill never forget that incident with my co worker.
"Architects with an attitude", hahaha, love that! Only recently found an interest in wasps and hornets after sharing a room with a massive paper wasp nest.
My dad is a rural mail carrier and stopped at a mailbox out of habit that hadn't been used in several years. The entire inside was comb. Thankfully they mostly all ran to the exit that was in the back of the box. He pulled away fast and didn't even get stung.
Light bill extremely high Owner : calls company Owner: in bill is wrong no one has even read my meter in months Company: sir we assure you the bill is correct Owner : ok prove it where's the meter reader ? Company : He's out patrolling Owner : Well if he isn't in the hospital then he damn sure ain't read my meter
I know this wouldn't work for some nests, but couldn't you buy a tripod to keep the vacuum nozzle in position in front of the entrance instead of standing there the whole time (and being a target)?
I worked at Ravenna Arsenal In Ohio for years being military. I never saw si many bee's in my life. The place takes up over 43,000 acres. Most of it is undisturbed. I was amazed at the amount of honey bee hives I have seen there and bald face hornets and yellow jackets were all over. Mowing the training ranges and many fields using 15 foot batwing mowers was a never ending job and getting stung was part of the job I would have to say lol. My question is I have seen many yellow jacket nest built just like a bald face hornets nest on trees. Is this a different type of yellow jacket? They are a little bigger than the ones you see in the ground, well sometimes they are. The tanks parked out there, they would build paper nest outside of the winch area as well, those when they stung did not hurt, it just itched alot. Love you videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.
poptoppup people are perceiving this as an incompetent attempt in removing these wasps and it is frustrating to watch a weak vacuum suck in 2 wasps every 5 minutes while most simply fly and walk free. There are probably better, more efficient ways to accomplish this task.
That vac is starting to suck- forgive me Edit- And I have a nice suit from Dadant with cording in between 2 layers of vented material. It's wonderful as I can wear pants and long sleeves under it in the full sun and it is cooler than a typical suit. Here in Iowa we have 90* days often and the suit is cool. I'm a landscaper and I use the suit for problems we come across in the field. Usually yellow jackets or bumble bees. Bees are friendly until we need to dig the nest out or have to work on top of a nest. Then they have to go, and I feel bad but it is necessary.
Nice. I think we might have the same suit. The one I just got yesterday is the Dadant economy ventilated suit. Thanks for the info about being comfortable while wearing pants and long sleeves. This will be helpful since some wasps can penetrate the suit (my old one at least).
While you're getting a new suit, how about investing in a better shop-vac. the one you using doesn't have enough suction power. Also use a narrower funnel to amp up the suction power at the nozzle.
Damn! My aunt is a meter reader for Nicor, she once had a snake that was rapped around the meter. Also there was a meter on a new route that had been in a neglected yard and there were over 100 spiders and it was covered in webs.
Why don’t home owners walk around their house once a week to check for things like this, I do because it helps me find things early so I can prevent things like this.
I know those as white-faced Hornets or wasps. And they are some nastiest wasps to probably the most painful sting I I know of. They'll chase you at least a mile and staying here like 10 times each
The vacuum has more than enough power to suck every wasp out of that nest. He's turning the nozzle away from the nest for some crazy reason I don't know.
I can get why beekeepers are not afraid of bees but wasps or hornets I just don't understand how you can do that without running or panicking at the sight of all those little things flying around
I find there nests strangely beautiful. We have more wasps where I am then bees and I’m constantly finding nests , nothing like this though I’m to paranoid and always checking. But still , it’s so interesting. One time they were starting a small one between my glass door and the screen and I had perfect access to actually watch them for a night and a day. Night time was really crazy , there were only 3 wasps and they made a couple of those holes they make but they were all kinda on there stomachs around the bigger outer circle and slightly shifting forward and backwards shaping it. They looked in a sleep state while doing it. Of course after that initial night the next night I sprayed them. But they are definitely interesting
I hate hornets too. I feel kind of bad for them sometimes b/c no living creature calls them a friend. However just like all of mother nature's creations they are perfect for what they are designed to do!
I can proudly say I've never been stung by a hornet. Of course I also don't get close enough to lol. I'm terrified of anything with a stinger! Had a bumblebee in my house yesterday and shut the window it was in to keep it was flying around the house. Don't worry my bf saved it when he got home.
I love how people pay attention. Everyone saying to get some spray, etc. He specifically said that he wanted to do a NON CHEMICAL removal. The chemicals are bad for the environment, and hurt beneficial insects..
Cmon guys why do you have to be mean? Ok yes, the vacuum isn't the best but that's a hard thing to do, just to get close to a nest, much less killing and removing them. I agree, he definitely should get a better vacuum but you guys don't have to be disrespectful with your comments. We should be encouraging one another, not beating each other down, talking about how we could have down things better! 🤨
Time for a new vacuum my man.
Justsimi kiory
I agree...that was my first thought! There isn't a lot of suction with that vacuum. Seems quite useless.
justsimi I think he needs to cut the end flat
Steve Leahy still won't increase the suction near enough for this method to do a damn. If he was smart and wanted to remove it without feeling the need to make a video, he would come back at night, put a garbage bag around it and slide a knife down the backside. Wouldnt even come across a one as well as be finished in under 3 min
Jay Lew you're quite the fucking idiot......now aren't you?
Legend has it that in a lonely night you can hear the sound of the vacuum 8 hours straight
As with many other commenters, that vacuum is incredibly frustrating to watch.
"hi I'm a hornet let me just walk over this black noisy thing to get into my nest... There safely inside.... Bit windy today though"
I know it’s probably just my ocd, but Why does no one in these videos ever rotate the nozzle attachment so that it’s rim is flush over the hole for better suction?
Good question. Because you have to account for all of the wasps returning from foraging, which in a nest the size of the one in this video could be 200+ (this is why you can not block the entrance). When I do a removal such as this in the beginning (the first 15 minutes) there are the maximum number of wasps and my aim is to draw down their numbers so this involves holding the hose about an inch from the entrance for the most efficient catching.

I appreciate the views and feedback. Here in PA the wasp season is over and I am only getting calls here and there about empty nests but I plan to be back next year!
herc1120 huh never would have thought of that. “The more you know” I guess
one guy did. He ended up with a huge hole that he couldn't keep up with. Litteraly sucked the out layer of the nest it.
what vacum the only one that went in went in by it selve
I was wondering the same shit
I'm on the other side of your fascination, I've grown up for years with a morbid fear of wasps! Your videos are helping me get over it, so thanks man, love what you're doing and love that it's poison free.
If only had we such beautiful nests attached to power meters in Greece! No one could go closer to measure and send the bill!
Alexandros Sotiropoulos I would poofed about 2 cans of some sevin dust in the nest at night
I once was gardening with a bunch of hanging basket plants and pulled what I thought was a mud ball off of the side of one of these plants while speaking with my boyfriend when I turned back around to look at my hand I was covered in wasps and he saved my life by squirting my arm with the hose or I would have died because I'm deathly allergic to stinging insects, so wherever you are thank you Ralph you saved my life
That vacuum leaves ALOT to be desired in the suction department!!
See the above comment. I could invest in a shop vac with more power but no matter how strong the vacuum is, some will be missed. Try it yourself and you will see what I mean : )
Lustfulvengance so does my gf, but you don't hear me complaining
Brutaltronics omfg 😂😂😂😂
Lustfulvengance I’m sure it was fucking awesome when that shit exploded
herc1120 most of them were missed bruh
Why do you use such a weak vacuum?
I've seen videos where he uses this same vacuum and it performs just fine. Maybe he was trying not to damage the nest to keep the hornets coming back? Not sure, though.
That is correct. I did not want to damage the nest with the vacuum. Also, with these insects, they are quicker and stronger and more agile than you would think. The hose must be right under them when they are in flight, and if they are walking on the envelope their tarsal claws help them stay on the nest and they can walk away to safety.
Derek Charette Damn
Blankless X it says in the video description that he removed it afterwards.....
Derek Charette im black but that roast made me even.Blacker
that vacuum has no power, the wasp was in the tube and not getting sucked in. Hilarious.
Dude....tbe fact thaf you are suited up with protective clothing and are wearing that net over your head and face and you manage to still get stung is exactly why i would never attempt that profession....you got balls!
Nice piece of artwork that nest.
I agree.

+herc1120 greetings from UK England Essex I go to Italy to help my granma she gets hornets under gas tank if they gets in a tree I gives em bird shot no 11 smallest shot works best great video dude 👍🐺🐾
throw a red brick at it,7:39
It should be kilned so that it is preserved.

Life hack. Avoid power bills by encouraging bald faced hornets to nest on your power meter..
Last year at my buddies house he says to me that his satellite TV isn't working right. We walk around the back side of the house and look up and low and behold a hornets nest on the transmitter. Called dish out and the guy installed a new dish at no cost. Said he had never seen anything like that before lol
ALWAYZAHEAD Games
They walk over to the vacuum hose look down it and say "NOPE" and walk away..
If that vacuum was my girlfriend id be single
*******D E A D********
Your boyfriend is a hoover
🤣🤣🤣
The hornets peeking out at the end: “Is he gone yet?”
I love these videos! It's like a podcast with hornets....a hornetcast!
Why are you not turning the nozzle the other way there is not enough suction on that thing for my liking. Most of them can fly away from the suction
Beth Peelar He sucks more than his shop vacuum...
That’s what I was thinking the other way seems like the suck action would be way better
Seems he faced it that way for the filming...
Love all the ppl telling u that you have junk equipment and need a new vacuum.. money doesn't come so easy for most ppl lol. Awesome video you for sharing
Ya know..if you just wait until late night, throw a garbage bag (heavy law type with drawstring) over the whole mess and break the hive off in the bad and seal it up. It would save you hours of getting stung.....just sayin.
I wish you showed us you removing the nest.
My camera battery died.
herc1120 rip lol
herc1120 That’s odd since you earlier stated you left the nest intact. 🤔
Did you know that when the nest is very small you can get them use to you. You become part of their environment, they know your scent and totally ignore you. You start the process off by quietly watching them when there's just the Queen and a couple of workers, you must stay close and calm to do this.

That vacuum is strong they just have some incredible grip watching them hold on to the smooth plastic inside of the vacuum hose says a lot
I bet this job is super satisfying!
Once had a HUGE nest of yellow jackets in the ground next to the water meter. Meter reader and another dude were dancing in my front yard before i realize that they werent dancing. They were stung so many times it landed them in the ICU
This vacuum is under powered , You need to change weapon!
I was a landscaper for 15 years and this one job we accidentally found a black bald hornet nest like this one but it was on the ground attached to some evergreen ground cover and there were river rocks scattered throughout so it blended in perfectly. well, my co worker was trimming some bushes around it and thought it was a rock and his boot went right through it and chaos erupted as hundreds of those little devils attacked us. i got stung 9 times (as did a few of my co workers) but the guy who stepped on the nest said he got stung 55 times and he got rushed to the hospital and was sick for a few days. he is lucky to be alive in my opinion! ive came across a dozen of these nests in my time but ill never forget that incident with my co worker.
"Architects with an attitude", hahaha, love that!
Only recently found an interest in wasps and hornets after sharing a room with a massive paper wasp nest.
I really enjoy watching a nest being tore apart lol.
My kids and I enjoy your videos. Its fascinating how wasp build a nest.
"I didn't choose the wasp life. The wasp life chose me."
When I heard you did this professionally, first thing that came to mind was you need a new Hoover!
My dad is a rural mail carrier and stopped at a mailbox out of habit that hadn't been used in several years. The entire inside was comb. Thankfully they mostly all ran to the exit that was in the back of the box. He pulled away fast and didn't even get stung.
Those nest are works of art, on the inside and out.
I shot a bee nest with a 12 gauge shotgun, bad idea
brazos Washington 😂😂😂😂😅
Lmao
brazos Washington
You did a shot won witha mini gun
brazos Washington
Correction:
that’s bee hive
Bees live on hives wasps hornets and yellow jackets live on nests
Hahahaha 😂
Light bill extremely high
Owner : calls company
Owner: in bill is wrong no one has even read my meter in months
Company: sir we assure you the bill is correct
Owner : ok prove it where's the meter reader ?
Company : He's out patrolling
Owner : Well if he isn't in the hospital then he damn sure ain't read my meter
I know this wouldn't work for some nests, but couldn't you buy a tripod to keep the vacuum nozzle in position in front of the entrance instead of standing there the whole time (and being a target)?
I have one of those bucket heads too, they are amazing. best vacuum for $25. Its also a wet vac too.
I love the videos! I’m glad my wasp problem isn’t that bad.
Those are balled faced hornets. I got stung by one last summer and ended up in the hospital
I worked at Ravenna Arsenal In Ohio for years being military. I never saw si many bee's in my life. The place takes up over 43,000 acres. Most of it is undisturbed.

Thanks for taking the time to make them.
Al Green found time to write a few classic soul hits between sucking up wasps as well.
Every time a bee come close to the camera I dodge 😂
A mosquito touched me while i was watching and i though it was an enormous bald faced hornet!
Where did you get the shopvac? I got one but need another. I can’t find one anywhere.
I think you need a stronger vacuum, but very brave indeed, subbed and my respect to you from Scotland ( A land with no Hornets)
How can anybody thumbs down one of these videos they're awsome
poptoppup people are perceiving this as an incompetent attempt in removing these wasps and it is frustrating to watch a weak vacuum suck in 2 wasps every 5 minutes while most simply fly and walk free. There are probably better, more efficient ways to accomplish this task.
That vacuum cleaner couldn't suck the skin of a bowl of tomato soup
Bro you showed up to a gunfight with a knife that vacuum is toast
I would never let a nest get that big as soon as I see one starting up it's done.
At least u know the power company won't mess with your power
That vac is starting to suck- forgive me Edit- And I have a nice suit from Dadant with cording in between 2 layers of vented material. It's wonderful as I can wear pants and long sleeves under it in the full sun and it is cooler than a typical suit. Here in Iowa we have 90* days often and the suit is cool.

Those nests are so pretty. Like a stone statues hair
*gets note in the mail from electric company. Reads: "Congratulations! You have won free electricity for life!"
The best time to attack a bees nest is after dark when they are all on the nest.
Power Meter Hornets, sounds like a death metal song.
You dont choose the bee life the bee life chooses you
While you're getting a new suit, how about investing in a better shop-vac. the one you using doesn't have enough suction power. Also use a narrower funnel to amp up the suction power at the nozzle.
Research these wasp.. See why they're different.
That shop vac has seen better days
Bold face hornets one of my favorite species
Bees know what humans need
He’s gonna hold that for 5 hours and most of them will st be hiding in there
That's not a wasps nest. That's a beard. That electric meter is in-cognito!
Well, I normally enjoy these videos. Don't take this the wrong way but I could've had that much entertainment vacuuming my floor.
Damn! My aunt is a meter reader for Nicor, she once had a snake that was rapped around the meter. Also there was a meter on a new route that had been in a neglected yard and there were over 100 spiders and it was covered in webs.
meter maids give you tickets, meter readers read your meters.
I don’t think Dyson has much to worry about from the competition!
Do you have any tricks for finding the nests of these wasps? I keep getting stung in my yard and can't figure out where the nest is?
Look for a flight pattern to and from a specific point.
They might have ground nests too my dude
Either these hornets have some of the strongest grips in the bee kingdom or that has to be one of the weakest vacuums in the world.
Wow yeah the meter maid sure enough got a surprise to see that.
I hate the sound that hornets make when wearing headphones. It feels like they are there.
Holy cow. Get a vacuum that has some suction to it. You must get paid by the hour.
I sorta prefer the dudes with the aerosol cans and lighters, making home made blow torches to take out the nests.
Very exciting! ;-)
Why don’t home owners walk around their house once a week to check for things like this, I do because it helps me find things early so I can prevent things like this.
Why don't you use a longer wand so you can stick the wand in the hole and get all the hornets ? and why are you just holding the wand in the air ?
Almost like he didn't want to hurt them ??? KILL THEM !!!! LOL
I've noticed there isn't a lot of good vacuum's for getting bees the past month watching these kinds of videos lol
Keep your go pro in a case inside your vac. Charge it when you upload, but always have it for good nests
I know those as white-faced Hornets or wasps. And they are some nastiest wasps to probably the most painful sting I I know of. They'll chase you at least a mile and staying here like 10 times each
The Hoover is about as much use as a chocolate tea pot 😂
The vacuum has more than enough power to suck every wasp out of that nest. He's turning the nozzle away from the nest for some crazy reason I don't know.
Well that's one way to keep the meter readers away
A truly powerful vacuum could suck them literally from the nest, and even take the nest apart.
I've not done it myself but saw a video of it done
What do you wear under your protective suit. I'd like to try using a shop vac.
U done got yourself a new sub
I work on heating and air conditioning units and i notice that paper wasps like to build their nests in the control panel
Normally regular people will see a nest before they get that big but rich ppl don’t go outside
Thats got to be a brave job
I can get why beekeepers are not afraid of bees but wasps or hornets I just don't understand how you can do that without running or panicking at the sight of all those little things flying around
I am a beekeeper and I am a little bit afraid of hornets.
I work in cable and I found a large yellow jacket nest in a underground cable pedestal.
Bee: it’s just dis guy and his weak ass vacuum don’t worry guys
Guy with vacuum: I feel bad for doing dis
Bee: why you ain’t even doing nun 😂
Is that a normal shop vac? Is there a solution in the bucket that kills them? How do you keep them from flying back out when you turn it off?
Have you considered some kind of mount so that you can position the vacuum hose under the nest entrance, without having to hold it by hand???
I find there nests strangely beautiful. We have more wasps where I am then bees and I’m constantly finding nests , nothing like this though I’m to paranoid and always checking. But still , it’s so interesting. One time they were starting a small one between my glass door and the screen and I had perfect access to actually watch them for a night and a day.

Amante Della Morte 66 they give me the creeps and make me itch

Dude! That was so hard to watch, I saw an Aussie guy do like 10 times that nest in 10 seconds. Shop vac + in the hole, done... God bless brother!
