A tip I found extremely helpful for non-professionals like me - the cooler the temperature, the slower the wasps/hornets move, giving you a better chance to kill them or remove the hive without getting stung or having any fly away. Typically the coolest time of the day is just before dawn. They are also still all in the hive before dawn. Notice what time it starts getting light. Plan your strategy and get what you'll need ready the day/evening before, and set an alarm clock in time to be outside and set to go before first light. Nice video - It's nice to see how a professional does it.

I occasionally get those nests under the eaves of my front and back porches in areas I don't always notice right away. I stand about 6 feet away with a can of Raid, early in the morning when they are not too active. Spray right into the entrance hole and keep going until it starts to pour out. That kills them quickly. Later I come back and knock the nest down, smash it and then get rid of it. Never been stung.

I love seeing all the different ways people remove these nests. I've seen smoke, powder, fire, ozone machine w/fish tank, and vacuuming. So cool.

Had a huge one about 3 foot from the house in a holly bush. As long as we didn’t bother them they didn’t bother us. They just flew around and if we didn’t disturb the nest they didn’t chase or sting us. We basically ignored each other.

Great video! Wish I would have seen this sooner…I had a swarm of hornets trying to move into my mud room…I closed their inside entrance by using expanding insulation foam…it kept anymore from entering, but I still had to deal with the ones inside…after getting stung three times, I called Orkin! They came out and did an excellent job! He also removed their outside hive which was about the size of a pie tin…Thanks for posting!

Very professional & informative indeed!

My only critique/caution regarding this is that Sevin (Carbaryl) was mentioned as being used. It does present an inhalation risk to humans. The applicator in this film was standing upwind from it, which reduces risk to himself but this was not mentioned in the video. You do not want to inhale it. You do not want to have any open windows nearby where it may blow indoors. There is also a minor skin absorption risk as well. While he was wearing leather gloves when breaking up the nest in order to reduce risk of stings, leather is not impermeable to pesticides such as Carbaryl. You should put on rubber gloves before wearing the leather ones, in order to protect from both stings and incidental pesticide exposure.

You Sir. Are incredibly brave.

Years ago I used to cut my lawn with a riding mower and the yard was big enough that I could put that mower in high gear and zip right along. I cut my grass every Saturday without fail. There was a Dogwood Tree which had a low-hanging branch (about 5 feet off the ground) and when I cut the grass I would just duck under the branch and keep going. One Saturday I was zipping along and went to duck under the tree branch and saw a Bald-Faced Hornet's nest about level with my face hanging from that low branch. It was about the size of a Volleyball and it had not been there the previous Saturday. I mashed the brakes, slammed into reverse and hit the gas until I was a safe distance away. I told my father who decided the nest had to go. We went out to destroy the nest and the hornets did not show any aggression or even appear bothered by our closeness instead they just kept working on the outside layer with some flying right past us entering the nest. They then stopped working and were looking at us but not showing aggression. We could not bring ourselves to kill them and decided to keep a watch on the nest and I would cut that area with a push mower. All summer long we were able to get up close ( within a foot) of the nest and watch them build the paper layers and how pretty the different colors were. We were never stung or chased by them.

local pest controls have a certain type spray can of hornet spray that will shoot up to 20 ft away, kills on contact and kills them on contact up to hours when they come out of the hole. I had a nest head level on my electric meter. I had a friend that worked for a pest control in town, he came out and demonstrated it. I was so amazed. Same type hornets that was in your nest and about the same sized nest. Within seconds we had a pile of hornets on the ground below the nest. I don't have any idea of the product name but I'm sure all pest controls use basically the same thing. I had rather be 20 feet away than 5 to 7 feet, plus waiting for the effect of the dust. Tks for the video.

I draw the line when stinging bees, hornets and wasps attach their nest to my house or closeby. After sunset, just before dark, shoot 20 foot spray into the nest for 10-15 seconds and go inside. That way they are all in the nest. Next day watch out for any activity and knock nest down. Only time I got stung was running lawn mower over a ground nest I didn’t see. Two bees chased me across yard and stung me on my neck. Got that nest with carburetor cleaner spray and a match.

Not seeing anything come out so I think they are all gone. I have to take this down now and am debating how. I was going to go out tomorrow before first light and after putting a rubbermaid with a contractor bag underneath it, use a shovel to detach it. Close the bag and then throw it out. Question, not sure why I see the professionals using their hands to break it up? I already had one of these guys sting me and it wasn't fun. Do you have to crush it or is just closing it in a bag and putting it in the trash enough? (or will I anger the garbage guy because the larvae will hatch?). Yeah I'd like to see what it looks like inside but safety over curiousity.

These bald faced hornets are the most active at mid day when the temps are at their highest in my experience here in the Pacific Northwest. So the first way would be to listen for it (if it's in a quiet location). The larger the nest the louder the hum, especially from these things being larger then a yellow jacket. We were brush cutters and this time of year you're literally taking a big risk had you uncovered one of these as kind of a surprise. You'd figure it out about the 2nd or 3rd sting so you learn to listen lesson number 1!! I've found more of these particular nests by listening within 20 to 30 feet away from them then any other way besides lucking out and seeing a group actually return before they spotted me. I've also seen these nests in blackberry briars waste high which are the one's you're most likely to run into around here in the Pacific Northwest (not far from last year's surprising find of "Asian murder hornets" that must sound like smallish Hummingbirds). The other way is to look at the top of the blackberry plants (which is all they'll nest in at this near ground level around here otherwise they'll nest up high someplace where most never look) with the sun at the right angle and sometimes you can see them returning to the nest even though you haven't found the nest yet. Oh and my personal favorite way to DO ANYTHING to any bee's nest whether it's in the ground, right above ground or way up high and that's WAIT UNTIL IT GET'S DARK because bee's won't fly at night. They'll crawl but as a general rule they won't fly at night. Now of course if you have one of those million watt candlepower high tech flashlights shinning down upon them then yes!!! Maybe they will fly at night and sting you for being stupid. But generally darkness, when it comes to eradicating bee's and their nests, is your friend and should be used whenever possible...But I'd do like this guy recommends and that's to call a pro like he is and let him and his experience do the job!!!! These bees are downright dangerous...

Are they still out there?

now isn't your Majic powder talc based? I am afraid of talc it's a inhalation hazard known to cause cancer and extreme lung damage. my preferred method is to wait until dark when they are in the nest and spray it with starting fluid, carburetor cleaner or brake cleaner. then in the morning remove the nest . if it's high I use a commercial wasp hornet killer that sprays like 20 feet also after dark. im allergic to bee stings and should call a exterminator. but my norwegian heritage won't allow me to ask for help

what's that powder? "7 herbs and spices" ??

Melissa Calihan we are in the Chicago area.

Is that pump custom made or can it be purchased? I need to eradicate some yellow jackets in my soffit.

Justin Hixson hi Justin. I believe it’s a company or product called Dust-R or something close to that. Good luck!
