As someone who has a Mom who's deathly allergic to these stings and have seen he immediate aftermath of an attack (got to her epi-pen and then the hospital in time), knowing that they are drowning inside the vacuum makes me feel glad. I know, that is a sad thing to feel because they are living creatures to but I will choose my mom over them any day.

When I was 4 years old I accidentally stepped on a nest, heard the crunch and immediately got swarmed. The doctors were estimating that I got stung by over 20 yellowjackets at least 11 times each. I'm lucky I wasn't allergic, I was scared to go outside for over a year. And was petrified by anything that flew and buzzed until around the age of 18 Lol

I stepped on top of an absolutely massive yellow jacket underground hive in October unknowingly, and I fell through the dirt directly onto their nest. My foot was absolutely surrounded by hundreds of yellow jackets, but they were confused as hell and slowly spurring too because of the cold. They wiggled and writhed, but didn't fly. Needless to say, that accidental incident killed their entire hive thanks to mother nature's frosty touch. I'm actually surprised that they reacted so slowly, but I guess they must have been mid hibernation or something. It was still scary as hell though. Imagine me falling through the ground on top of a massive hive during the summer time... I'd be mauled.

Detergent breaks surface tension of water. Surface tension is what allows objects with a higher density than water such as insects (e.g. water striders) to float on a water surface without becoming even partly submerged. So adding a little bit of soap to your tank will help to drown hornets faster. If that is what you are looking for of course :)

As an archaeologist I had a chuckle with the vacuum recommendation 😂 Imagine uncovering a small shell bead or something then whoosh, sucked it up and banged it around through a plastic/metal bucket. We want to move things carefully yes, but there are many tiny but significant bits that could be damaged. Undoubtedly there’s a context for it though, underwater archaeology for instance typically relies on suction.
Honestly I have no idea why this was pushed into my feeds, With that being said I decided to watch this and was so mesmerized by this. I had to subscribe and looking forward to watching more of your videos. Something fresh and new. Thanks Hornet King.
13:27 Hehe, as an archaeologist myself, I can confirm that we do use vacuums (and if necessary, even excavators or other heavy equippment) all the time! It’s just the movie archaeologists that use brushes only… 😁 We do use brushes for the delicate parts of the excavation where you don’t want to accidentally suck up parts of your findings! - And it also depends on the kind of aracheological excavation, money/time at hand, research question etc.

This channel is awesome, I discovered it this morning and I'm hooked... I've been obsessed with a couple nests in my back yard, a round paper one about the size of a cantaloupe under the edge of the little wooden ramp going into my shed (one of them got me on the leg pulling my lawn mower out) I doused that one with Spectracide late one night and the following weekend when I went back out, still saw quite a few flying around that area, and saw the nest was still there... then a few nights later I went out to spray with another brand, Raid, was standing back quite a ways and all of a sudden noticed one of the flat, honeycomb shaped ones on the ground amidst the grass, just a couple feet in front of me, with a bunch of bees crawling all over it... so i went back out a couple hours later, around 11pm, didn't see any bees on that one, and sprayed the crap out of it, but while i did, a bunch of them started coming out and just walking around on top of the nest, at which point i took off running with my Tyvek suit and mosquito head net on... I went back out there this evening and was quite surprised that both nests are completely gone without a trace... Maybe animals went after them? I never would have considered that until I saw you feeding them to your animals... I see rabbits and woodchucks around all the time... now I'm concerned if that's harmful to them though, i wouldn't do that in the future..
I commented on your short reel. I was covered with these guys when I was young. Same kinda situation; my dogs disturbed a ground nest where I was sitting. I was running- up the block covered head-to-toe. I was told to go jump in the shower. It was pretty horrible and I was terrified of them for years. It was interesting to learn about them here. I would never do your job. Kudos to you! P.s. chicken feed seems like a good purpose for them.

Thank you for sharing. This dredged up a bittersweet memory for me. My siblings and I were at a soccer meet ((younger sister played soccer)). I was maybe 9 years old, she was 7, brother 5. My brother walked up a hill to play with a boy who was about 8 or 9. Neither of them were interested in the soccer matches. My brother accidentally discovered a subterranean yellow jacket nest. He was immediately surrounded and froze in place. The other boy tackled my brother and they rolled down the hill together to safety. Except they were not safe. My brother was stung a bit, but he was fine. The other boy was stung more and he happened to be allergic to stings. An ambulance was called. I’m now 41 and I sometimes think if that boy who risked himself to protect my little brother. The ambulance arrived quickly because a hospital was on the next block, so I’m sure he survived but I still wish I could thank him.

I had no idea they dispersed so much material from the ground, or that they even did that. I assumed nests are created in some random place with decent conditions as far as temp and wind but the underground thing is pretty cool! The innate engineering in their genes is astounding. Insects have some of the most remarkable traits of life on this planet, little wizards.

How did you find out your chickens loved to eat the nests? I really like that, the fact that it all goes back to nature. It's has very much a "circle of life" aspect to it, instead of you just lighting the nests on fire for example. I loved the video, and it made me really appreciate the engineering involved by the wasps in the construction of their nest. Keep up the great work, you're a braver man than me!

Be careful removing old tree stumps. That seems to be a favorite place for yellow jackets to build their nests. I've got an area in the back with a nest and I don't mow within about 6' of it. I also find you usually don't get stung the first time to run over the nest with the riding lawnmower because by the time they come out you are well past them. So always be on the lookout for them, they come shooting out of the ground like a Roman Candle and will get you good on your 2nd or 3rd pass.

@Nathan-zf9xo Never underestimate another person's job just because of your personal experience. He is a professional who knows what he is doing. And wasps can be lethal when they feel threatened. Maybe just destroying the nest will make them upset, flying everywhere and sting whatever is on their reach until their queen finds another place for a new nest

I once had a subterranean nest of yellow jackets in our backyard, but they made the nest underneath our ac unit. Removing the nest was going to be very expensive as it meant having an AC company come out and move the AC unit. So instead I got Delta Dust and a puffer gun and each night (only at nighttime) I would go outside and puff a bunch of dust into the nest. Eventually there was no more activity coming in or out of the nest but I’m still always cautious of that area.

Fascinating content. The sting of a southern Yellow Jacket has the longest lingering pain of any insect I've ever been stung by. I ran over a nest in the ground with a push mower and three of them got me right away. I didn't sleep much for the next 3.4 days. Most stings I've ever experienced over the years don't last but a few hours at most and I've over it. These things REALLY hurt badly and the pain stays with you for a very extended period of time.

There is no insect I loathe more deeply than I do _Vespula squamosa_ -- I have had numerous horrible run-ins with them over the years. Two young cousins of mine ended up in hospital after stumbling onto a nest at Clarkco State Park near Quitman, MS, many years ago. The park ranger told us it was the most enormous yellowjacket colonies he'd ever seen. The boys got 60+ stings apiece and spent the night at one of the hospitals in nearby Meridian, MS, but recovered just fine. I've had one of these sting me just for accidentally bumping it as it was flying by... horrid little beasts.

Wet leather gets soft, and on seams especially they become weak points. If you regularly oil your gloves it can help to create a mild waterproofing effect on the outermost layers of leather. You can also use a bespoke hydrophobic treatment to fully waterproof them, but you will need to be diligent with your maintenance.
Wow. The size of that nest and the mass number of yellow jackets in it made it incredibly dangerous for the homeowners and their pets. It's a good thing they got it removed before a much worse attack happened.

Had one in my yard a few weeks ago and a week before that I had one on my deck. The first one I got stung 6 times. The second one in the yard I got stung in the toe and arm simultaneously while mowing, so I was a little confused on what was going on. Figured out it was another nest so I walked over to see where they where coming from. I didn't see them flying out any where so I keep walking the yard looking. When I finally stopped to look around for a second my legs and feet just started burning. I was stand right on top of the nest and got stung over a dozen more times. I lost a sandal on my escape and thought I t might had been coving the entrance since they continued to swarm it for 4 days but it was about 3 feet away. The next weekend late in the night I got my revenge. A spray bottle full of nitro fuel and a torch and I watch a glorious flame of victory spread down into the hole of death.

About 7 years ago I was clearing out some evergreen bushes in my back yard. I was chopping the roots with a shovel and stepped on a railroad tie that was being used as a bed divider. Suddenly I felt like someone started hitting me with a hammer on my leg multiple times. As I looked down my leg was covered in hornets and multiple had flown up my shorts and were trapped underneath. Needless to say, it’s rather difficult to run and take your pants off at the same time, but somehow I managed. We later had pest control come out, and as he was taking a look around the back yard, I started noticing that I had stingers in my leg. Which was weird considering, I was 100% positive they were hornets. While I was inside dealing with the stings my wife went out and told the pest control person exactly what I was struggling with. Eventually, the pest control guy knocks on the back door and says “if your good to come out here you HAVE to see this”. He asked me to confirm where they came from and we found the entrance to the nest in the tie. He put the nozzle to some dust chemical in the entrance and sprayed it, and out came the hornets. Then he said “give it a minute”. Suddenly, a whole nest of wood bees came out of the same entrance. Apparently the wood bees and hornets had nests in the tie and were sharing the same entrance to their nests. He said he had been doing pest control for 10 years and had never seen that before.

Bro I eventually ran into a trailer and shut the door behind me, killed a bunch of them off of me with pure rage like I was in a fight for my life pissed off yelling, got that out of the way, opened up the door and walked back out... I didn't make it 6ft and started getting the shit stung out of me again... those pricked literally waited for me to come back outside to nail me WTF. I've been around bees and stung here and there lots my whole life but NEVER did I ever run into a swarm so damn aggressive. I'm saying this at at this hour because I literally just got back from round two with those basterds 🤣 Little did they know when they started this fucking war and kicked my ass the first time around that I'm a honey bee keeper that has never turned the other cheek (especially when stung in them 🤬) .... I grabbed a light, mixed up some go juice that would make any revolutionist proud, suited up for battle, and sat there closely watching those little fuckers fry for at least a couple hours with a sinister grin while talking shit to them pricks. hahaha I'm still licking my wounds (got me everywhere) but at least I won the damn war they a started I guess. 🐝☠ 🦾

So therapeutic watching them get sucked into the vacuum. Mesmerizing! :-) I had a dream a couple of years ago that I owned a shop vac, and I was using it to vacuum up wasp nests on the property where I work. I woke up and thought "that would be great to use on yellow jacket nests". I'm glad to see someone actually doing that 🙂 I bought a vacuum this year, but haven't had the opportunity to use it on underground nests. I have vacuumed up wasp nests though. Dream come true I guess.

I was walking my dogs yesterday and inadvertently stumbled on a subterranean Yellow Jacket nest. I was stung about 30 times, mostly in the legs, face, and neck. Right now, a day later, I am still in the itching, burning, and swelling phase of my recovery. I think I am scarred for life from these aggressive little bastards! Fortunately, I am not allergic, but the magnitude of how fast the swarm attack happens, this attack could easily be lethal.

Got hit up about 20 times before I made it to the pool and stayed under for what felt like 5 minutes, some lingered but I booked it inside. Grabbed my Amazon flamethrower (never really had a use for it before but it makes an amazing exterminator) and held it in their little hole for 5 minutes. Nothing moved lol. Highly recommend an Amazon flamethrower for your extermination and revenge on those little suckers!

When i was about 6 or 7, my older brother kicked some dirt into a Yellow Jacket nest in the ground (California). Needless to say, they were not happy. The one memory that sticks with me, is as I was running and screaming as fast as I could, i peaked down into my shirt through the neck opening and saw hundreds of them swarming inside my tshirt, along with MANY stingers already lodged into my skin. Ended up getting stung over forty times, and I'm now VERY allergic to any bee stings, thanks older brother!
