Hi hornet king it’s my birthday I turned 9 years old I’m making your letter
He’s gonna love that! Happy birthday!!!!
Happy Birthday! 🎊🎉🎂🎈
Thank you
HAPPY Birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. I am also 9
Happy birthday Mattie
I absolutely love watching you vacuum them off the window, that was awesome 😎
Thank you!
Excellent commentary on your videos. It's so hard to believe how large one of those nests can get. And where they build. Incredible work! Really well done!
Props to him for counting exactly how many yellow jackets there were
Our little Rhea isn't so little anymore. She is starting to stand her ground.
Haha, she was little here. She's about 4 feet now!
@@HornetKingOfficial wow a big girl now!
Ah...so it is the same rhea
Great video for my supper break now. Happy new year, Bret!
Happy New Year, Asfan!!
I work as a preschool teacher. I have to clean up snot and vomit and work with children with severe learning disabilities and those who struggle with severe panic attacks and I love my job. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. And this job the Hornet king has, I would faint just driving up to the place. It takes a special human indeed for this job. I hope to meet this man one day and shake his hand.
Every time I see these nests I am in awe. How many seasons do they typically use a nest? That one was really amazing. Thank you for sharing another great video. Stay safe and God bless.
Thank you! This was a single season nest.
At 1st I wondered it it was a multi-season nest, just due to the size of it!
And thanks for satisfying my vacuuming craving for the week.🤣
My pleasure!
I could watch this all day everyday. It totally amazes me how these little creatures can make these nest. Love the birds.
Birds = "oh, I just love these things, crunchy on the outside, with a soft chewy inside."
So relaxing watching and listening to the birds talking and feeding. Amazing nest, great description of yellow jacket metropolis. Excellent video and information, spoken and visual, on the different varieties. Always most interesting.
Thank you!
That was ALOT of yellow jackets. I think I would die if those were in my house. Thsnks , Great video Hornet King!
Thank you!
I loved all the vacuuming from the windows. Very satisfying… I hope you got every single one.
Tanks
As someone who knows nothing about yellow jackets 12:55 reminds me of that meme with Pam from the office:
They’re the same picture
Love your videos. You do a great job on editing them. I love watching all your birds eating the nest and larva. They look like they really enjoy it and are having fun!
We get European Wasps in Australia (German Yellowjackets to you I guess). They build either in cavaties (wall spaces or ceilings) or in the ground. They've even taken over beehives before.
Your birds are great!!!!
Thanks! What nice birdies
Being a roofer who deals with storm damage from leaks that seem very similar to this first thing I would’ve done is taped off is square with plastic, creating a cell in the house then started that process that you’re doing then all the wasps are contained within the plastic and not throughout the customers house, that’s how we do a tear out on drywall never had a wasp nest that big but we get big ones on the roof you got balls of steel I wouldn’t do half the stuff I see you do I’m a spray and run guy lol
I suppose that Emu's are a bit of a novelty in the US whereas in Australia, of course, they are commonplace. Your two are doing well.
Fantastic video
Thanks! 😃
HOW did they just see this.. Id been called you after a few flyin around! 😂🤪😱
We don’t have too many yellow jackets here in south eastern Virginia but we see a lot of paper wasps and mud daubers. Usually their nests will be in close proximity with each other.
You definitely have all the species of yellow jackets I mentioned in this video, down in VA. You just aren't looking hard enough 😉
🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love it
You are doing a great job keeping up with at less one video a week .
Really appreciate the time and the videos
Thank you!
What does that bag SOUND like with a TON of live angry hornets?
Bzzzzz buzz buzzzzz
The emu and rhea are getting big
Nice big birdies!
Just what I wanted for Christmas! Your emus feathers look like they'd be soft as silk.
Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
Lucky birds ♥ They must love you so.much♥
I love your channel and I appreciate your work as well as the teachings you give on each video. Question what would happen if you had a bigger attachment for your vacuum? Would it be easier?
Someone get this man a go pro lol, this must be difficult to do while hold a phone in his other hand haha, love the videos! Cheers from Somerset PA
Fun to watch, and I don't get stung.
Win/win!
Thanks for the nightmare fuel‼️‼️🤣🤣
Fascinating!❤
Thank you! ❤
As far as wasps go they seem to be pretty dosile this nest. Brilliant job 👍
Another great video!
Thank you!
My favourite time is when you feed the birdies! I didn't see your little squirrel this time? Where'd he go?
Lady isn't around the house every time I feed the birds a nest. Most of the time she is in the hedgerow somewhere.
@@HornetKingOfficial Oh SHE isn't around all the time ay? Gotcha! Well maybe next time ay she's SO cute!
Love the videos man
What suit do you prefer for not getting stung by wasps?
Wow, that was a big one ( that’s what she said), I love that humour! Thank you for making these extremely interesting videos, I really enjoy them very much! 🤩
Haha! Good one!
Thank you, Hayley!
So you’re saying the yellow jackets are attracted to the windowwwww to the wall?
Christmas came and delivered. I hope you were handsomely rewarded money wise.
The yellow and black combo makes them beautiful creatures, but I would rather not have them in my house. If this were done without any protection, I wonder how many times the person would get stung.
I would be dead without my suit.
Your birds are so lucky
Lots of hornets!!!
Vacuum cleaner warranty departments hate this guy!
I remember seeing a story where a person's guest room the bed had been almost completely converted to a nest.
I thought wasps only used wood and wood like material and not cloth.
I wonder if he ever had to deal with bed nests before?
I see Frank Sinatra's mugshot on the back wall :)
Good looking dude!
A couple questions for you hornet king. Say you had a bald face hornet nest in a tree what would happen if you would take a established nest out of the tree and just set it on the ground? Would they abandon the nest and start to rebuild a new one where you took it down or would they continue to work the nest on the ground? Also,when doing a nest in a tree why don’t you just take the nest down and throw it in a large bucket with soapy water,put a lid on it and drown the bastards? Seems to me that would much faster vs. using a vacuum
Depends on how you removed the nest and sat it on the ground. In most cases when a baldie nest falls from a tree onto the ground, half of the workers tend to the nest on the ground, and the other half starts building envelope onto the branch that the nest hung from.
Bagging a nest is a method I use when relocating, but that doesn't substitute for vacuuming. If I am removing a nest and not relocating, it's much easier to vacuum at the entrance for 20 minutes and then remove the nest and bag it. You're forgetting about the several hundred workers out foraging that will come back and swarm and rebuild if all you do is bag a nest and leave.
Amazing job! I know I have commented before asking if you could include the type of wasp featured in a particular video and I see you have been doing that in your recent videos. Thank you for that, its interesting to know the differences between the species we have here in the NE US and how different they are. Happy Holidays to you and the Hornet Queen!
I spent a lot of time documenting the different species I have in ampules that I have caught this year, and shot them under my microscope. Shows people that each yellow jacket species looks very different from one another.
@@HornetKingOfficial I will definitely be paying more attention this spring and summer for sure. What I can’t really tell in the videos are which Yellowjacket’s we have in our region that have those hanging set of legs if that makes sense. I noticed not all yellowjackets have this but I do notice them occasionally on the flowers in the summer. Thank you for responding!
Good info on the ground and cavity nesters, what would you say are the chief aerial nesters? I know about D. maculata but surely some of the 'yellow' yellowjackets do too...? I live in a lovely tree-lined neighborhood and every fall when the leaves come down, we spot nests and point them out. Of course I can't call out what species by sight but there's some pretty corking good ones!
Would pumping ozone into a nest/vacuum (where no other living animals are), be a good way to neutralize the nest/vacuum?
Hey after u take the best out of the house and the windows do a the client have to take the flying wasps that went through the house
How come you don’t put your vacuum at the first hole you make? It looks like they come boiling out of the holes you make.
If that was my house, I would fill every cavity with spray foam insulation. Nobody want to share their home with 10,000 wasps!
That's for sure!
why not set up a poly containment in the area to prevent them from flying all around the house??
A true NFL fan would have moved the RG3 framed jersey from the disaster area! lol.
Haha! I was thinking that about the pic of Frank Sinatra!
@@HornetKingOfficial lol!!
Is a steady diet of wasp larvae healthy for the birds?..just wondering...
hey man first love your channel
Awesome thank you!
Curious why you didn't contain the yellow jackets from the rest of the room with some plastic? I would be afraid of stragglers flying around the whole room once you left. But it was a great video and great tips. Stay safe.
None were left.
I recently discovered your posts and I love them!! Can you tell me what yellow jackets eat? They don't seem to store food like bee's do.
all hell nah bro my skin is crawling
I just don't understand how they lived with this is in their living room wall for so long. My skin would crawl. This is Amityville horror bad.
While I respect the RG3 jersey, I am not surprised that this was a...Commanders' fan home.
kinda wondering why yuo didn't just make a small hole, or once the one hole was open, put the vacuum nozzle there instead of opening up a lot more?
Because I'm removing the nest.
I wonder why the client waited so long when he noticed the buzzing and chewing. The first buzz I would have called. Unless he thought they would die out?
He never knew yellow jackets would be this numerous. And I kind of remember him saying at first he thought it was water dripping (since chewing sounds like a ticking noise) then the buzzing started and he called me
This is probably one of my worst fears especially bc I’m allergic to stings pretty badly. I cannot believe the homeowner just let it go 😮 I would be super concerned about getting stung not to mention the damage they could do.
Why not just use a drill with a spade bit, give them one small entrance/exit, and just hold your vacuum until the numbers are manageable
So do the chickens eggs have a honey flavor to them from all the comb they eat?
Yellow Jackets don't make honey, so no the eggs don't taste like honey.
What else do u feed to ur birds when u arnt feeding them larva and yellow jackets?
Fruits and veggies
How long did it take to vacuum out that room that you cut through the ceiling to get to the nest?
45 mins for this removal.
Do the birds eat 100% of the bees and larva? Or do you have to dispose of some of them?
What the birds don't eat, the wild skunks and opossums eat. Everything is gone by the next morning.
I saw one on the window that you did not get!
How much do you save on bird food, doing this?
So the yellow jackets are from the windows to the walls....
Are you from Pennsylvania hornet king?
hmm you seem to have a dead pixel in your studio camera. Center upper left. What kind of camera do you use? I got one is almost exactly the same spot. Not funny on a cam that costs over a grand.
It's a crack on the screen. I replaced the screen about a month ago. All better 😊
@homet king how can you handle yellow jackets from houses and school's?
The same way I do in the videos.
What would your advise be on removing yellow jackets high up in red brick work on a block of flats
I would have to see what the situation is before being able to give sound advice.
Was there venom on the window? I thought I saw wet stuff.
Could have been. I didn't notice.
Ten thousand? If you could vacuum up a single yellow jacket every second that would take you 3 hours!
Get paid for the removal, then free food for all your animals. I find it fascinating that you have a squirrel that is so friendly and has no issues being loved on. I also would like to see how you got into doing this.
Do yellow jackets react to smoke similar to how honey bees do?
No.
I know you have multiple nest removals daily, but how much do you charge per removal? Or is it based off labor time/ nest size?
I charge for ground nests, aerial nests, and cavity nests individually. Its based on how far away from me they are, under 50 miles, 50+ miles, etc.
How did the squirrel get so comfortable with you? Love your videos
I hand raised her
Yeah, do you still have Humphrey and how is he?
"...they could hear the buzzing and the chewing but the just let it go." WTF?
How long do one of those vacuums last?
I usually buy a new one once a year. Not because they die, but because they are dirty. So I start a new vac with each new season.
@@HornetKingOfficial Cool! Am surprised they last that long with the usage.
Ah yes, I too know that I have a yellowjacket nest in my house and let it stay there for several months before calling for removal
That's not exactly what I said, but yes, you shouldn't let a nest fester if you know it's there 😁
MASSIVE 😜👍
That is crazy
For sure! Especially that he let it go that long! But he didn't realize exactly WHAT was up there!
America!
yeah... they can keep the house im leaving! heres the keys!
How many eggs does a queen lay a day? And how many hatch a day?
How long does it take the animals to eat a nest worth of larva like that? Do they finish it all in one sitting or do they get full then slowly snack on the rest for a few days after?
They go at it for about an hour, then mosey around and come back. They finish most of it, and what they leave behind gets eaten by skunks at night time. Everything is gone by morning.
@@HornetKingOfficial that's so cool I watch all of your videos and subscribe to your channel. I don't think there's any other better be removal specialists you're the best at it very professional! Thanks for making the videos
Uggh, this is absolutely making my skin crawl! I don’t have a phobia about yellow jackets, but I do have a serious disrespect for them going back decades, and the idea of their invading my house on such a massive scale does nothing for this! A thousand mad props to you for taking them on like this, and I hope the homeowner found and sealed their access holes so that history doesn’t repeat itself down the road!
Although I did have to laugh at 8:47 when that one yellow jacket video-bombed your camera….
They're always trying to cover the lens and steal the show! Haha
I do have a massive phobia of them, and found out after the built a nest in an exterior wooden window frame. It's inaccessible and we've been having it professionally treated with dust. So far I've found 19 of them in my bathroom. This has been a nightmare, and I'm worrying myself sick.
@@RT-qd8yl Sounds like my house last year, only they invaded the back wall where the brick base at ground level meets the siding on the upper story (split foyer built at ground level). Since the upper story is the master bedroom and the access panels for the bathrooms’ plumbing are in there (including my closet-yikes!), I was definitely not happy about that! I dodged that bullet, but they did invade the garage via the trapdoor in the ceiling that we installed to access the bathroom pipes from below. My daughter put her foot down and said she wasn’t taking the trash or recycling bins out until we got an exterminator in there, and I couldn’t blame her one bit! Even after they were killed off, it was a couple of weeks before I could go in there without getting the heebie-jo-jeebies, so I get where you’re coming from!
I would love to see an informational episode of how you got into the hornet removal business.
I have one, but it's old and kinda boring. I'll make a new one soon! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@HornetKingOfficial That would be awesome!
I have worked in the service industry my entire life, and I take so much pride in giving amazing customer service to all of my clients, so I really appreciate how considerate you always are of the clients homes. Job well done, Brett!
Thank you, Drew! I appreciate that!
He really take care of their hoomes and makes sure to remove all the coomb!
I just wanted to thank you for all the content you put out sir. You really create great educational content and speaking as someone who's had fears of these creatures as a kid, You really have helped me and others better understand them. I love the info you share about them so we can better understand them. So thank you for that!
Thank you Logan! I appreciate your positive feedback!
I really appreciate the fact that you think about a living space and care about the homeowners. I would be afraid of my space if I even stepped or sat on a dead yellowjacket/hornet/wasp. Yeah, they scare me even when they're dead, but not as much because of you, Bret. 👍💗 Happy New Year to you and your lovely family !🥂🎉🗓
Thank you so much!
I love how he bravely goes in and just gets it out weather it’s in a wall underground or in a tree he dose it so well. It’s amazing.
Thank you, Kevin!
Whether
I’m 11 sry for mis spelling
@@rarestarball No worries! Thanks for your comment!
I wish I could find nests like theses to keep not with live larva though
It's incredible on how big these hornets can build there nests. And how they just swarm you it's basically just a death trap without a proper protective suit and I also I wonder how this feels for you every time you remove these titanic nests.
These are actually yellow jackets. The first couple times removing large nests can be a little unnerving, but after a few years, it gets pretty repetitive. Just like any other job.
@@HornetKingOfficial I'm now wondering what the difference is between yellow jackets and hornets.
@The Emerald Apple Prototype Yellow jackets (Vespula and Dolichovespula) and Hornets (Vespa) are both types of paper wasps. Hornets are larger, and their nesting behaviors are different than YJs. If you watch this video, then watch my European Hornets in a box video from a few weeks ago, you can see how different their nests are.
@@HornetKingOfficial Ah okay thanks.
