  • In this video I remove a MASSIVE yellow jacket ground nest from a client's property! This species is the Eastern Yellow Jacket (Vespula maculifrons), and this nest had around 2.500 individuals inside!
    There are many silly ways to kill a yellow jackets nest, but this is a professional wasp nest removal/extraction, and the ONLY professional yellow jacket nest extraction content on UA-cam.
    Once the nest is removed, and Im finished appointments for the day, I bring the nests home, and fed them to my Emus, Chickens, and Rhea!

    Ha! I’m a biology major and I studied for a year under a professor who specialized in bees, wasps and hornets. He was often asked by younger students how he felt about others referring to his subject to study as “pests”. He would just laughed and say “any animal can become a pest if it inconveniences a person, or worse, puts people in danger.”
    I love that you not only get rid of dangerous nests in an entertaining way but also educate your audience, it shows you have a lot of respect for these remarkable insects! That’s an easy sub from me, much love from Canada ❤

    Those close up shots show how angry they are when you knock on their door! I’d hate to be someone mowing the lawn or stepping on the grass nearby and get attacked. After watching your videos I taught my niece and nephew to watch out for wasp nests in the grass- if they see wasps flying and landing in the grass there could be a nest there and to stay far away from it and tell an adult.

Heck I got the whole family watching including my dad. He had a Bald Faced Hornet nest about 40 ft up in his tree that the exterminator told him it’s too high to get to but “don’t hit the tree with your ride on mower or they will come down on you like hellfire” 🤣 The season came and went, the nest died off and fell down sometime over the winter and nobody got stung. Keep up the good work 😄

    It's so incredible to see every time, that the wasps have such a dense population. The relatively small space, or seemingly small from the outside, yet when you keep hammering on the ground they keep swelling up in wave after wave after wave.
    I know that this nest is huge, but, it doesn't seem to be able to hold those massive swarming numbers. So dense.

    I was hit by a swarm of these at work a few months back. Chased me prolly 100 feet, my coworkers told me they seen the yellow jacket swarm chasing me and behind them was a swarm of some type of wasp! they were literally working together. I didn't believe one of em at first but others said the same exact thing. 55 stings in total. The yellow jackets caused way more pain and burning than the normal black wasps did but the black wasps caused a ton of swelling and the pain persisted longer than the yellow jacket stings. For context, i was using a trimmer on some tall grass near an abandoned house.
    Worst pain i've ever experienced, would not recommend.
