Steve Leahy still won't increase the suction near enough for this method to do a damn. If he was smart and wanted to remove it without feeling the need to make a video, he would come back at night, put a garbage bag around it and slide a knife down the backside. Wouldnt even come across a one as well as be finished in under 3 min

"hi I'm a hornet let me just walk over this black noisy thing to get into my nest... There safely inside.... Bit windy today though"

As with many other commenters, that vacuum is incredibly frustrating to watch.

I know it’s probably just my ocd, but Why does no one in these videos ever rotate the nozzle attachment so that it’s rim is flush over the hole for better suction?

Good question. Because you have to account for all of the wasps returning from foraging, which in a nest the size of the one in this video could be 200+ (this is why you can not block the entrance). When I do a removal such as this in the beginning (the first 15 minutes) there are the maximum number of wasps and my aim is to draw down their numbers so this involves holding the hose about an inch from the entrance for the most efficient catching. I have learned that simply placing the hose over the nest entrance will not suck them all out! Also, many nests later in the season have more than one entrance/exit for angry workers to come out and attack. Remember, these are edited videos and the entire process is not filmed. What I like about this work is that no two jobs are the same and depending on the species, where the nest is, and the colony itself, different approaches and tools are required. I appreciate the views and feedback. Here in PA the wasp season is over and I am only getting calls here and there about empty nests but I plan to be back next year!

That is correct. I did not want to damage the nest with the vacuum. Also, with these insects, they are quicker and stronger and more agile than you would think. The hose must be right under them when they are in flight, and if they are walking on the envelope their tarsal claws help them stay on the nest and they can walk away to safety.

I'm on the other side of your fascination, I've grown up for years with a morbid fear of wasps! Your videos are helping me get over it, so thanks man, love what you're doing and love that it's poison free.

I once was gardening with a bunch of hanging basket plants and pulled what I thought was a mud ball off of the side of one of these plants while speaking with my boyfriend when I turned back around to look at my hand I was covered in wasps and he saved my life by squirting my arm with the hose or I would have died because I'm deathly allergic to stinging insects, so wherever you are thank you Ralph you saved my life

that vacuum has no power, the wasp was in the tube and not getting sucked in. Hilarious.

Dude....tbe fact thaf you are suited up with protective clothing and are wearing that net over your head and face and you manage to still get stung is exactly why i would never attempt that profession....you got balls!

Life hack. Avoid power bills by encouraging bald faced hornets to nest on your power meter..

I work in broadcasting and radio transmitters are meccas for all wasps (Bald faced, umbrella wasps, the ones that are fuzzy that build a nest like a baldfaced but smaller, European and Native yellow jackets...) I had one nest once built right in the corner of the door. Unlocked the door and as it opened it tore it in half. Luckily it was at night. I shut off the light and ran. I had another one where they built the nest on one of the insulators of an AM tower. AM towers are usually hot-- the radio signal ties to the tower and the tower is the antenna. The outlet of the nest was in line with the discharge gap and once in a while they would fly right into the gap and get vaporized by the energy (ZZZAP!). I even had a nest built inside a power line regulator. I try to visit sites once a week in the summer so they don't get so big.

When I heard you did this professionally, first thing that came to mind was you need a new Hoover!

The hornets peeking out at the end: “Is he gone yet?”

That vacuum is strong they just have some incredible grip watching them hold on to the smooth plastic inside of the vacuum hose says a lot

Light bill extremely high Owner : calls company Owner: in bill is wrong no one has even read my meter in months Company: sir we assure you the bill is correct Owner : ok prove it where's the meter reader ? Company : He's out patrolling Owner : Well if he isn't in the hospital then he damn sure ain't read my meter

Did you know that when the nest is very small you can get them use to you. You become part of their environment, they know your scent and totally ignore you. You start the process off by quietly watching them when there's just the Queen and a couple of workers, you must stay close and calm to do this. We had a huge nest which we sat under and occasionally bumped when mowing the lawn, they never swarmed nor stung any of us, came out and looked then went back inside as if to say; oh it's only the humans again. We even shined a flashlight up into the nest with our faces right next to the entrance, got no reaction from them. Our neighbors did however give a reaction to the nest and wanted it down, but since no one was ever stung, dad left it up all summer until fall when the colony died out. True story.

Love all the ppl telling u that you have junk equipment and need a new vacuum.. money doesn't come so easy for most ppl lol. Awesome video you for sharing

They walk over to the vacuum hose look down it and say "NOPE" and walk away..

I was a landscaper for 15 years and this one job we accidentally found a black bald hornet nest like this one but it was on the ground attached to some evergreen ground cover and there were river rocks scattered throughout so it blended in perfectly. well, my co worker was trimming some bushes around it and thought it was a rock and his boot went right through it and chaos erupted as hundreds of those little devils attacked us. i got stung 9 times (as did a few of my co workers) but the guy who stepped on the nest said he got stung 55 times and he got rushed to the hospital and was sick for a few days. he is lucky to be alive in my opinion! ive came across a dozen of these nests in my time but ill never forget that incident with my co worker.

My dad is a rural mail carrier and stopped at a mailbox out of habit that hadn't been used in several years. The entire inside was comb. Thankfully they mostly all ran to the exit that was in the back of the box. He pulled away fast and didn't even get stung.

"Architects with an attitude", hahaha, love that! Only recently found an interest in wasps and hornets after sharing a room with a massive paper wasp nest.

Why are you not turning the nozzle the other way there is not enough suction on that thing for my liking. Most of them can fly away from the suction

Why do you film the vacume takes way to long and is very annoying. These nest can be removed in seconds just take a plastic garbge bag rap it around the nest seal it up and its over. The foragers will return to find the nest gone and will quickly die. Your making this much harder then it has to be.

Ya know..if you just wait until late night, throw a garbage bag (heavy law type with drawstring) over the whole mess and break the hive off in the bad and seal it up. It would save you hours of getting stung.....just sayin.

A mosquito touched me while i was watching and i though it was an enormous bald faced hornet!

I have one of those bucket heads too, they are amazing. best vacuum for $25. Its also a wet vac too.

Those nest are works of art, on the inside and out.

A truly powerful vacuum could suck them literally from the nest, and even take the nest apart. I've not done it myself but saw a video of it done

Those are balled faced hornets. I got stung by one last summer and ended up in the hospital

I think you need a stronger vacuum, but very brave indeed, subbed and my respect to you from Scotland ( A land with no Hornets)

poptoppup people are perceiving this as an incompetent attempt in removing these wasps and it is frustrating to watch a weak vacuum suck in 2 wasps every 5 minutes while most simply fly and walk free. There are probably better, more efficient ways to accomplish this task.

I sorta prefer the dudes with the aerosol cans and lighters, making home made blow torches to take out the nests. Very exciting! ;-)

I know this wouldn't work for some nests, but couldn't you buy a tripod to keep the vacuum nozzle in position in front of the entrance instead of standing there the whole time (and being a target)?

That vac is starting to suck- forgive me Edit- And I have a nice suit from Dadant with cording in between 2 layers of vented material. It's wonderful as I can wear pants and long sleeves under it in the full sun and it is cooler than a typical suit. Here in Iowa we have 90* days often and the suit is cool. I'm a landscaper and I use the suit for problems we come across in the field. Usually yellow jackets or bumble bees. Bees are friendly until we need to dig the nest out or have to work on top of a nest. Then they have to go, and I feel bad but it is necessary.

@herc1120

Nice. I think we might have the same suit. The one I just got yesterday is the Dadant economy ventilated suit. Thanks for the info about being comfortable while wearing pants and long sleeves. This will be helpful since some wasps can penetrate the suit (my old one at least).

I worked at Ravenna Arsenal In Ohio for years being military. I never saw si many bee's in my life. The place takes up over 43,000 acres. Most of it is undisturbed. I was amazed at the amount of honey bee hives I have seen there and bald face hornets and yellow jackets were all over. Mowing the training ranges and many fields using 15 foot batwing mowers was a never ending job and getting stung was part of the job I would have to say lol. My question is I have seen many yellow jacket nest built just like a bald face hornets nest on trees. Is this a different type of yellow jacket? They are a little bigger than the ones you see in the ground, well sometimes they are. The tanks parked out there, they would build paper nest outside of the winch area as well, those when they stung did not hurt, it just itched alot. Love you videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

While you're getting a new suit, how about investing in a better shop-vac. the one you using doesn't have enough suction power. Also use a narrower funnel to amp up the suction power at the nozzle.

Bees know what humans need

The best time to attack a bees nest is after dark when they are all on the nest.

Bold face hornets one of my favorite species

I know those as white-faced Hornets or wasps. And they are some nastiest wasps to probably the most painful sting I I know of. They'll chase you at least a mile and staying here like 10 times each

Bro you showed up to a gunfight with a knife that vacuum is toast

I would never let a nest get that big as soon as I see one starting up it's done.

Where did you get the shopvac? I got one but need another. I can’t find one anywhere.

The Hoover is about as much use as a chocolate tea pot 😂

meter maids give you tickets, meter readers read your meters.

Damn! My aunt is a meter reader for Nicor, she once had a snake that was rapped around the meter. Also there was a meter on a new route that had been in a neglected yard and there were over 100 spiders and it was covered in webs.

Power Meter Hornets, sounds like a death metal song.

Keep your go pro in a case inside your vac. Charge it when you upload, but always have it for good nests

I can proudly say I've never been stung by a hornet. Of course I also don't get close enough to lol. I'm terrified of anything with a stinger! Had a bumblebee in my house yesterday and shut the window it was in to keep it was flying around the house. Don't worry my bf saved it when he got home.

i'm wondering if your bucket does not match the vacuum's diameter on the ring, it makes for a bad seal

I don’t think Dyson has much to worry about from the competition!

Cmon guys why do you have to be mean? Ok yes, the vacuum isn't the best but that's a hard thing to do, just to get close to a nest, much less killing and removing them. I agree, he definitely should get a better vacuum but you guys don't have to be disrespectful with your comments. We should be encouraging one another, not beating each other down, talking about how we could have down things better! 🤨

I find there nests strangely beautiful. We have more wasps where I am then bees and I’m constantly finding nests , nothing like this though I’m to paranoid and always checking. But still , it’s so interesting. One time they were starting a small one between my glass door and the screen and I had perfect access to actually watch them for a night and a day. Night time was really crazy , there were only 3 wasps and they made a couple of those holes they make but they were all kinda on there stomachs around the bigger outer circle and slightly shifting forward and backwards shaping it. They looked in a sleep state while doing it. Of course after that initial night the next night I sprayed them. But they are definitely interesting

I've noticed there isn't a lot of good vacuum's for getting bees the past month watching these kinds of videos lol

Not something I want to do, but I'm glad that others do it.

Is that a normal shop vac? Is there a solution in the bucket that kills them? How do you keep them from flying back out when you turn it off?

Curious why you didn't just cut the end flush at a 90 degree angle to cut down time needed to completely neutralize the nest???

Was something wrong with the vacuum? Seemed it didn't have quite enough power to pull them in.

I can't understand why you wouldn't dust it. Take maybe 15 seconds and the next day you could remove the nest

I love the videos! I’m glad my wasp problem isn’t that bad.

Too bad that wasn't an analog meter. You'd have saved a ton on your power bill

What do you wear under your protective suit. I'd like to try using a shop vac.

Dude! That was so hard to watch, I saw an Aussie guy do like 10 times that nest in 10 seconds. Shop vac + in the hole, done... God bless brother!

Why is the suction so weak? Are you relocating them?. If not, Why not take a fire extinguisher to it and freeze them?

Have you considered some kind of mount so that you can position the vacuum hose under the nest entrance, without having to hold it by hand???

How do you not notice something like that?

If you placed a camera tripod next to the hole and connected the vacuum hose to it, you could set it and walk away for an hour then come back and finish the job.

When they can cling to the inlet on your hose without being drawn in or fly away? Your vacuum sucks but not in the way you need.

Holy cow. Get a vacuum that has some suction to it. You must get paid by the hour.

Are these beneficial at all? Is there any point in trying to relocate them?

Do you have any tricks for finding the nests of these wasps? I keep getting stung in my yard and can't figure out where the nest is?
