- Here are some clips of the most satisfying part of the recently uploaded before and after job, trimming the overgrown hedges and grasses. The hundreds of wasps on the property, however, were not my favorite.

For folks just stopping in to see me run from wasps like a little girl: 1:35, 10:12, & 11:05. You're welcome.
Just an fyi - 12:29 - wasp checking out camera.
ive dealt with wasps before. 2 litres of two stroke petrol down their hive/nest. tucked my socks over my trouser legs gloves taped around my jumper sleeves and gloves. tape around my middle hoodup up and hope like hell. dad was sitting in the car windows up laughing at me running like a girl to the car with no wasps in sight. Good fun. :)
For an added touch, I turned the volume down, sped the video up 2X's while listening to Benny Hills's theme song. Lol! 😀😁😂
LOL! Love your sense of humor. :D
Darn yellow wasps I don't like wasps
I sat here laughing at the thought of someone throwing a rubber snake over the fence at you and seeing the reaction.
Haha that would have put me in the pool for sure!!!
Did a job in Henley on Thames England one day and went straight though a huge nest with my long reach and let's say, they weren't very happy about it!!
Haha, I can imagine they weren't! Glad you lived to tell the tale!
I love your videos I really enjoy watching them I'm learning alot from them
Thank you very much, I am glad! :)
I live in South Florida. Wasp stings hurt. I've experienced that more times than I ever wanted to!
Sorry to hear that! They are the worst!
This is my worst nightmare, I'm really badly allergic, probably the reason why I hate doing yard work hahaha living vicariously through your videos LMAO
Oh yeah that would have been terrifying then. Thankfully I managed to finish that job without any stings!
Copper Creek Cuts I tell ya, if I lived in Florida, you'd be my guy! Love your work! Keep the videos coming please!
In all the videos i have watched i dont think i have ever seen Brad move that quick!!!
XD I wouldn't be surprised if you were right!
I go to Walmart in the winter when they have all the wasp/hornet spray on sale clearance and stock up. They were $1 last year. I bought them all.
LOL I like it. Marking my calendar now to remind myself to check out their garden clearance! ;)
😂👍
Nice job brad keep up the good work
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I know this is an old video but I would have liked to see the finished yard.
I've got you covered: ua-cam.com/video/7ellTBgOvXA/v-deo.html
Thank you for watching and commenting! :)
i thoroughly enjoyed the humor in this video
I appreciate my misery made you happy! ;) Just kidding, of course, but glad you liked it!
I was using an electric hedge trimmer to clean up my boxwoods, went through a wasps nest and my extention cord. Good times.
watch out for snakes, I am in GA and I was trimming my bushes, boxwood, and 2nd bush I came to on my pass of the chain saw ( I was cutting off the tops to make them shorter) and out comes the head of a snake, luckly for me it was a rarely seen mole kingsnake. but ever since then I am very Leary about trimming my shurbs
I probably would have had a heart attack right then and there! XD
I know I'm late but I think it's time to get a bee keeper suit. Keep one for situations like this. Lol
Haha, wouldn't hurt!
Good Job Looks Nice!!!
Thank you!
thanks for sharing. consider getting a "Load Handler" for your trailer.
Just googled that! Awesome idea! :D
Rip, I remember being 20 ft up a ladder getting rid of some moss on a huge yard that took 6 of us a week to complete with tree trimming and out of nowhere a yellow jacket just stung me on my underneath Forearm and the thing swole up like a 1/4 sized football haha. Felt like I'd been stabbed with a hot iron rod to the bone! Later that week some guy managed to find the nest accidentally whilst trimming and he got put in hospital for a few hours. Florida is so dangerous!
Oh man, I am pretty fortunate I don't have any horror stories like that! Probably because they couldn't get through my clothes! :)
Copper Creek Cuts haha, I can't dress like you, being British I am used to cold weather and am. Forced to wear shorts and t shirt xd
Brad, I don't blame you. I have 3 citrus trees and at the time of pollinating the bees and wasps come in so. But amazing work and shout out to the residents who bought you some spray. I sure did get a kick out of this one. I'm actually glad you didn't nose dive in the pool, look at that nasty water. Now I can understand why you use a pole trimmer.
LOL Yes, it could have ended very badly!
You did a good job though your very strong I respect that I hope I didn't sound rude or anything
Not at all, I appreciate the feedback!
I'm.in lower Alabama and I deal with the same things you do
Update 2020 word for Today is landscape dump trailer . Good to haul mulch and trimmings in . They are easy to dump
Not enough business to justify the cost, but very true!
You need Worktunes headphones, makes the day go by quicker and get some wasp spray its cheap!
Those headphones would have been a great psychological boost!
Run away...run away. Monty Python!
Haha, you've got it!
I didn't see you fall in the pool, lol.
Keep some cheap chew to moisten and put on the stings. Works like a charm!
Very cool! I have to go research this now! :)
10:12 The sound effect catches you off guard
Haha, sorry about that!
I'm.buying me a pair of stihl hedge trimmers. I just wore out a pair like you got in this video
What saw is this being used on the bushes?
Poulan Pro 28cc 22" Gas Powered Dual Action Hedge Trimmer Clipper Saw | PP2822
For a second I was sure we would get to see a little bunny and a holy hand grenade.
I didn't want to push my luck with copyright issues! :)
What dump do you use for yard debris?
I don't think you know them, they are all in Baker County. Whichever is closest to the job, but most of the time I end up dumping at the Limb Debris site on 121. This is where yard debris comes from all the satellite dumps and is burned.
I have weed flower beds with a lawn care company. When my co worker sees a wasp In a hedge, he throws the hedge trimmer down and takes of runing while it is still runing. If u to close to him he will cut u. Anti wasp carate moves wax on wax off buzz off!🤣
LOL Too funny! Thanks for watching!
I had a bush with a giant wasp nest in it, it was far from the house. I dumped some gas on it and set them on fire. Solved the wasp and bush problem.
Haha, that will do it!

from where you live in north/east FL.
how far away are you from the atlantic ocean
Ehh, about an hour if there isn't any traffic! We don't often go. Maybe when the kids are older, but with two under 5 it is always just such a production to go.
Myself, I run from wasps like an out-of-shape, big clumsy man. Still making little-girl noises, though. My sympathies... On one brush-clearing job, my Mexican co-worker also taught me to build trim piles with the biggest stuff underneath. Wise man.
Oh yeah, that is the way to do it for sure! Thanks for watching!
I would have liked to see the final results after all the problems you had with those blasted wasps.
I use an electric hedger. That way I can afford wasp spray.
LOL a wise trade off in my books! :)
Watch out for snakes I was trimming mine and out came a ole mole king snake. Almost took my left nipple off. Gots outta there in a hurry and changed my pants.
XD Too funny! Glad you survived to tell the tale! ;)
10:14 Oh my God! I am so scared! 😱😵
Get yourself a beekeeper helmet, or even better a complete suit, otherwise something like this will turn out badly. 😔
I am a new subscriber from Frankfurt, West Germany and I really enjoy watching your videos. 😊👍
#staysafe always 😷
Gutentag! Thanks so much for visiting! I am catching up on comments and have seen a few others of yours :D
@@CopperCreekCuts Nice. You are welcome. :-)
Use a pitchfork when you need to load or unload this stuff. Much easier!
Thanks for the tip!
Was that house occupied? I got a glimpse of that nasty pool. Why do people live like that??? The yard was horrific. Shame they had no pride. Good job dude.
It was, the pool was a salt water pool and that is what it looks like when it gets out of whack.
Wow, that's my 'learn something new everyday', never knew they made salt water pools. Thanks!
note to self.......get several cans of wasp spray just in case
More like several cases! ;)
They love to make nests in thre root area.
I think they made nests EVERYWHERE in that shrub! ;)
Greetings from New Zealand and yeah I hate wasps as well especially the really aggressive Chinese Paper Wasp vicious little brutes.
They love making their nests in Agapanthus and native Flax plants and when I was doing work experience with Big Mals Property Services down at Auckland's Hobsonville Point weeding the gardens along one of the roads there were several nests in the flax,managed to avoid getting stung though.
Hello there! Thanks for the comment, great to learn about other areas!
@@CopperCreekCuts looking at purchasing a ride on mower next Spring and I've been looking around and I've narrowed it down to either a Australian made Rover Raider or a John Deere E100 but I've heard bad things about the entry-level John Deere ride ons like people have reported oil leaks after EIGHT hours is this a consistent problem across the entry-level JD's or is it more likely a one-off fluke?
Judging from the looks of that nasty-ass pool, I'd take my chances with the wasps.
It was just a little off. It is a salt water system. As hot as it was those days, I would have taken the pool any time! :)
Stop beating yourself up! Honest Days Work, Brother!!
Thank you for the kind words! :)
Should ornamental grasses be trimmed with hedge trimmer? At least they looked like ornamental grasses (fountain grass). When I had ornamental grass I just pulled out the dead blades to keep the flowing look. Great job otherwise...wasps!! nope...😱
Should they? I have no idea. Can they? Absolutely! I don't know what else you could use that wouldn't drive your time and labor cost so high no one could afford you.
That makes sense, I wasn’t thinking from a professional perspective! I know my method of hand pulling dead blades would take tons of time and money!
Anyone who plants bamboo should be arrested for harboring terrorists, because that's what wasps are. You got lucky, I would have been zapped so many times, it wouldn't be funny. Although your voiceover of "Run away!" was hilarious. What are those grassy plants that you were trimming?
Haha, I am glad you liked it! Which plants, the ones right next to the pool?
I recognize the tea olive as the one where you sprayed the nest, but the first plants, and the same type that were next to the pool.
I was expecting to see a bunch of White Anglo-Saxon Protestants sitting around, discussing politics and banking... Nope. None.
LOL what a clickbait title!
That pool has a lot of algae in it
Yeah, they were getting on cleaning it after the yard was spruced up :)
I just kept thinking of the old saying “Don’t run with scissors”.
Haha, very true!
Omg be careful !!!😨
I made it through alive! Thanks for the concern! :)
I hate pampas grass also
Those look like paper wasps and they sting you with the 3rd most painful sting in the insect kingdom.
That's a hard PASS for me! ;)
Uhm...so no.
1.) Bullet ant sting
2.) Tarantula wasp sting
3.) Velvet ant sting
4.) Giant Asian hornet sting
Paper wasps are absolutely horrible... but there are far worse stings
I hate Wasps, I really hope that you were protected to some extent.
Thankfully I was pretty heavily clothed. Very hot, but not a lot of spots for them to get me at! :)
Wasps are nothing to sneeze at. Almost killed my husband and my dad.
that's at least $800.00 job
At least!
otherwise a remarkable job under tremendously difficult circumstances...
Thank you for watching and the kind words! :)
Wasp spray
WASP SPRAY
It saved the day after the homeowner ran to Walmart to get some for me! Lesson learned, always keep some in the trailer! :)
Copper Creek Cuts I always keep wasp spray and off in my truck. I spray off on wasp nests. and off kill all the wasp in the nest
I was wondering how in all these vids you never come across any animal nests or hives
It is definitely a possibility out here in the country! ;)
Some ant powder on the nest will kill it, there are sprays which can be bought also. European wasps would be all over you doing that lol
I would rather stay back 20 ft with a can of hotshot than get close enough to sprinkle ant powder! :)
Copper Creek Cuts Amen to that!
With the advent of invasive species, encounters with Japanese Giant Hornets (vespa mandarinia) are the worst of the worst and decreasing in rarity.. If you got within 3 meters of one of these suckers they would just attack. Once one hornet attacks, the whole hive does too. You get 100 tiny little hornet gunships raining all over your parade. People compare the sting of one of these to being impaled with a red-hot iron nail.
Your can of hotshot would just make them mad.
Isn't the European ones killer bees or killer bees mixed with European and south America ?
they got to bring someone in and have them exterminate all those wasps, thats extremely dangerous from the standpoint of working in and around a nest while gardening.....
Oh me, myself, and I plus a can of RAID made short work of those nests! ;)
i see you were covered up for the most part but i'd think twice about gardening with wasps around, tell teh owner to get an exterminator first, then garden ....
Wasps can be deadly, be CAREFUL.
You are very right! Thankfully no stings that day.
Lol!!!!
Hope you liked it!
Yes! It was so.....funny! You were jumping around! Lol!
As a pest management professional, I am not looking forward to bee/wasp season. I hauled ass last summer when I was treating a hornets nest. Knock on wood haven't been stung yet.
I hope you don't get stung! :)
@@CopperCreekCuts Thanks I'm pretty good about walking up to a nest and blasting it with pesticides. Maybe I'll upload another video on treating a nest.
you ever thought about being a barber.
Some people at the bank asked if my account 'Copper Creek Cuts' was a barbershop! Missed a perfect business name there! ;)
I know you ran into wasps.have you killed a copperhead yet.
Copper Creek Cuts. you have a tremendous work ethic and you pay close attention to detail.
Dennis, thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate that! And so far, no copperheads!!! Don't you DARE wish that on me! :D
Copper Creek Cuts. catchy. and creative name for your business. are you printing. for a good idea.stay busy and God bless you and your family.
I'd run if I was a girl or not! I wouldn't touch that yard! 😱😣
I don't lower my prices for no one. see I deal with wasp,bees a nd hornets my prices goes up. i also hate fire ants and snakes. you need a dump trailer to haul off items
No room to store it, don't have enough of those jobs to justify the purchase, etc, etc. The enclosed 5x10 worked perfect for storing the junk I hauled away.
Honestly ya kindof ruined the bamboo. :/
i dont belive it ! those wasps should behave ( sorry i couln't help myself ha ha )
Haha! :D
Ha Ha Ha
Glad you got a kick out of it! :)
Your not very smart I would of not done it
True, smart is something I don't usually get accused of. A landscaper who doesn't deal with wasps would go out of business in my neck of the woods! Consider it a necessary occupational hazard! 😁
You really hacked up those ornamental grasses. They aren’t really supposed to be trimmed like that. 🥴
I think they are it promotes healthier plant growth.
