Will it kill mice if you put them in the fish tank? Unfortunately you probably can't show it on CZcams, but it would be interesting if you could test it on a non-native species you caught live and report back.
You should do wasp trap Wednesday
I wouldn't be so quick to destroy nests that aren't near the houses or play areas....they eat pest insects and are beneficial to farmers and back yard gardens.....
Wait till dark put something flammable in the hole and light it best way to kill all of them
@@alunjones3860 It would torture them to death.
"They liked oxygen, so I gave them 50% more oxygen per molecule!'
@Andrei Salvaleon No 50% of a normal (O2) oxygen molecule is 1 oxygen atom. Add another 50 and you get ozone O3
@Andrei Salvaleon O is elemental oxygen. O2 is gaseous oxygen. O3 is ozone.
@Andrei Salvaleon 50% of 2 is 1. 3 is 2 + 50%.
If you add 33% to 2, you only get 2.66.
@Andrei Salvaleon That's a conversion to a percentage. That's not the object of the maths here.
Going from 2 to 3 is a 50% increase, not a 33% increase.
@@the_once-and-future_king. I had a similar argument trying to explain to someone the odds in a game of Odds and Evens. Was pretty funny when someone tries to insult you with what they perceive to be proper math.
Added bonus from killing the wasps with ozone: Ozone dissipates quickly, which makes it safe to feed the wasps to chickens. Win win.
small point. it doesn't dissipate, there is no ozone left behind because its reacted with everything around it and turned back into o2.
The wasp lose tho
@@2be470 someone has to
Nice 👍🏽
@@tweake7175 That would be true if you left the fish tank there for a while after the generator has been off. I suspect most people would remove the fish tank shortly after the deed is done, thus dissipating the gas into the atmosphere.
"I got this cool idea from a German relative "
He said it helped when there were mice in his oven
@@Coach_Shiner Damn. I wonder what that's supposed to mean. Hopefully nothing to do with genocide denial.
Yes it worked even with humans
@@azure9809 you ok?
Pretty neat, but my favorite method for ground nests is, waiting until dark, pouring gasoline down the hole followed by a match.
Acetone works great too and is far far more environmentally friendly.
Starting fluid/ether,no fire.
Pouring petroleum into the ground isn't a very good idea.
@@Justin-sl3sb pretty sure that's where the petroleum comes from to begin with /s
@@DeepfriedBeans4492 Yeah, potayto-potahto. 🤦♂️🤣
I love how instantly he regretted leaving that ozone machine unplugged when he dug up the nest.
Yeah no clue why he actually unplugged it, or even turned it off to begin with.
@@Shellackle I was thinking he didn’t want ozone being generated into his face while he breathes
Yeah I'm curious why he unplugged it and turned it off... maybe I missed something!
@@PassTheSnails yeah that might be nice 😂😂😂
@@PassTheSnails yeah but i would've just switched it off not both unplug it and switching it off
Ozone generators are great for spaces that have smoke damage too.
What? Why? How?
Maybe Vegas strippers will put one of things next to their faces.
Mildew and mold as well. It oxidizes whatever it contacts. Ozone is O3, it’s an unstable molecule looking to shed the 3rd oxygen atom. It’s a polar molecule and easily attracted to everything.
@@jjohnston94 didn't grow up with a father on the house eh? You're already on the internet. Look it up.
@@mattmarzula Oh, I had a father in the house; we just didn't burn our house down.
Is it the ozone being toxic (which it is) or is it the displacement of oxygen, which is killing these insects? Any gas which will displace oxygen will work in a nest in the ground.
i believe its the displacement
@@crazy_wwww it’s a mix of both, ozone is toxic and because of it being O3 it actually keeps our cells from absorbing oxygen because it can’t diffuse
Ozone gas is not toxic.. It is an oxidizer meaning it basically cleans and destroys any organic matter.. it would take over 0.8 parts per million of ozone in the air to facilitate any health hazards.. Nothing about displacement, it is a natural cleaner.
@@josiahd4073 There must be more to it because there are IV ozone and enema ozone treatments given for serious infections. Otherwise it would be doing great harm to the person. Maybe it's like hydrogen peroxide which is quite benign or beneficial at the correct concentration, it largely just oxidizes iron in microbes in the body while doing no damage to surrounding tissue. For example the body literally produces and coats the lungs with hydrogen peroxide which is why we don't get a lung infection every time we take a breath.
H202 was nebulized/inhaled being used as a treatment for this last pandemic. Not many have ever heard of that. It almost immediately cuts the infection load in the lungs and restored normal breathing so ventilators didn't need to be used on the most serious cases.
@@josiahd4073 So if someone was left in a room with one of these for a long time… it would end like the bees?
This was awesome. Ozone is heavier that air, so it makes sense that it would go into the hole and suffocate the hive. I was thinking you'd need a better seal around the fish tank, but it looks like it worked just fine. Cool video!
@T.J. Kong Not a very good gas concentration
I think it is enough to just let it run for longer, why not 30 minutes or an hour and then everything will be dead.
The ozone wants to go into the hole more than it wants to leave the tank
It's definitely due to toxicity, not oxygen displacement. The amount of ozone required to displace a lethal amount of oxygen is many times higher than the amount required to kill you through toxicity.
a better idea would have been to direct the exhaust into the nest hole, so as to give some positive pressure that forces the ozone inside.
Everything in our house had serious smoke damage after an attic fire in "02, & all of it was "treated" with ozone. It was explained that the ozone molecules would destroy any smoke particles. We were _VERY_ pleasantly surprised when all of our belongings (except, sadly, the 3-piece sectional sofa that was made with foam rubber) came from the "ozone room" smelling as though they had just came down from a clothesline in springtime! No smoke smell, except for the sectional. It was a very impressive demonstration!
It doesn't destroy "particles" very well but it's a very aggressive chemical oxidant meaning it will decompose a lot of things similarly to bleach. Living organisms don't like this effect very much either and since it operates on very simple inorganic chemistry viruses can't cheat it by technically not being alive either. This also makes it a serious hazard to humans though, you should not be in a room with an active ozone generator. Thankfully it is highly unstable so no long-term contamination issues, it just degrades into regular breathable O2 even if not aired out.
@@Photoloss you could’ve edited the comment instead of replying to your own comment so people would read your edit.
it destroys mold and mildew as well.
@@Photoloss That's why they made them illegal in CA. You don't want to be in the same room while it's running. But they make that abundantly clear. I had one sent to a friend in TX, who forwarded to me. It saved me almost $2700 because of some lousy tenants. ServePro would have used ozone generators. Yes, it oxidizes all organic matter, which is why it works. Don't over-use and they're fantastic.
@@slidetek Soft tissues are destroyed very fast, it leaves behind fascinating scar tissue though.

@@juan.4187 too basic
I previously worked in the restaurant, after each shift and everyone gone. Before closing, the owner set the ozone machine running for 1-2 hours in the Kitchen. He said that this will kill hidden pests (Cockroaches, mice, silverfish, flies etc.) And safe for food production area due to no chemicals used.
Ozone is also used in hotels when guests smoke in the rooms. Ozone is, however, very bad for you and you should not breathe it nor tolerate it in your workplace.
@@scowell It only used when store closing hour, no one is there and has a timer.
@@DangerWrap The gas must still be flushed out with a fan.
2:09 That wasp Fell like a cartoon character lol
Interesting, but it doesn't seem to penetrate too well. I think pouring molten metal down the hole is more satisfying. And you end up with a neat sculpture.
@asdrubale bisanzio
I think carbon monoxide from an auto taiIpipe might be better overkiII.
he only let it run for 5 minutes leave it for a couple hours would be a better test.
@@-danR That sounds dangerous. Does that really work?
@@user-cz9ss4yq4x it does! My concern with that method is that might be too much effort for most people, especially if they have no experience working with metal and don’t want to deal with that. The sculptures are cool, though.
Or just running a hot air blower through a pipe into the nest. Don't think they'd survive very long at 100-150C temps.
Ozone is oxygen in O3 instead of O2. It is very unstable and reactive so it doesn't last very long. Ozone usually is found around heavy electrical motors and arcing.
Also the smell after a lightning storm is ozone
Oh Also Its In The Upper Atmosphere
thx
And plasma orbs, those cool desk toys that you mess with once or twice and then never plug in again
Exactly, LMAO……….
Step 1: dump a bunch of gasoline in hole
Step 2: match
All good till the fire wasps come flying towards you
Yellow jackets are wasps, yet my man managed to call them both bees and hornets without even calling them wasps once. 😂😂😂
I love how he called them ground hornets since they are so vicious. Got stung twice this past summer
And this guy is a „professional“. What a disgraceful channel.
Back in school, my chemistry teacher once mentioned to burn sulphur at the entrance of a ground nest, so the sulphur dioxide sinks into the nest, killing the wasps. Since then I've been wondering if that really works, but never had the chance (or need) to try it.
Sulfur dioxide is toxic but that would be inefficient, dangerous, and would smell terrible and attract attention
@@totallyfrozen The real efficacy lies in the fact that you bring a crowd of people to distract the wasps with. Take down the nest and gently push it out to sea while the wasps are busy stinging the onlookers
Use a road flair jammed down the hole.
Just pore gasoline in the hole .
Bu nedir abi
I used to get nailed by these constantly when I mowed my grandparents' grass. I found this very therapeutic.
Same here! But it’s with hornets! Those bastards always get me when I mow the lawn
Lol
The worst i got was a single wolf spider bite followed the next day by a fire ant biting the exact spot the spider bit me. And a tiny bit of ivy i couldn't avoid but that was more recent. I couldn't imagine having to deal with stings. You could develop allergies to those if they happen enough you know
I stepped on one of their nests and they stung the bottom of my feet, all over my legs and flew up my shorts and stanged my balls.
Little bastards I hate them.
@@SpicyCactus relatable
Very interesting, I preferred to just use dish soap and a garden hose after sundown kills them instantly or if the nest is above ground put about a third of a cup of this soap in a gallon of water put it in a garden sprayer and spray that nest. It suffocates them instantly by coding their breathing system which is located on the outside of their body there’s also works on honeybees though I don’t recommend killing honeybees we need them for agriculture and food cycle . Little extra tip add a couple of drops of peppermint oil to the water especially on nests or areas where you cannot remove the nest this will make the nest unpleasant and will not be read occupied afterwards by another swarm
I have tried to add some liquid chili to the soap and sprayed it to the nest, and they goes absolutely balistic when they get this mixture. And then dies very fast.
1. cover yourself in ozone
2. wait for it to ozone
3. ozone
earth's atmosphere tutorial
As someone who has been in the ozone business for over 10 years, there are many types of ozone systems rated for different applications and concentrations. I'm surprised by this relatively small unit and how effective it was. Ozone is slightly heavier than ambient air so it will tend to sink to the bottom or ground level.
Is ozone a humane method of euthanized small animals (chicks and other baby poultry)?
@@Krystal907 I'm not familiar with this application, in comparison to what alternatives?
I would equate death by ozone equivalent to death by asphyxiation. Not the most pleasant way to go, this would be similar to choking on chlorine gas, except it is ozone instead.
@@DavidMacKayE thanks. Some people euthanize with increasing levels of carbon dioxide until the animal calmly loses consciousness. I didn't know if this would act similarly.
@@Krystal907 CO2? you'd think they'd use nitrogen. CO2 sets off all the internal alarms, and is in no way humane.
@@Krystal907 no. It's like burning from the inside out while drowning. Not humane in the least.
I found a wasp nest hanging off a tree about 5 feet off the ground. It was the size of a smallZ watermelon.
I filled a garbage bag with RAID wasp spray late one evening and engulfed the bag and tied it. You could hear them screaming.
However the next day I cut into the nest and there were still a few alive.
Should’ve farted into the bag to kill the survivors
Use Sevin powder, they'll carry it into the hive.
"I could hear them screaming "....ok Bundy
I don't even know if survivors are lucky or not
@@howardsharpe2104 The silence of the.. wasps.
We had a nest in front of out door, a huge ball but they never stung us but would often get trapped inside our house and i would get them and throw them out without hurting them.
How tho?
Bees I could believe, but hornets are very aggressive to anything which is not of them.
Was it around for so long that they marked you as safe with their scent-markers??
@@wormwoodbecomedelphinus4131 there are few who are not. I remember with my encounters, quite friendly
Mud Daubers?
One time I was repeatedly smashing our deck banister with a hammer, not knowing a new yellowjack nest was underneath. Just 1 flew out, bit me quickly, and flew back to the nest. It was very obviously just warning me to stop. Ever since then I realize they have a bit more intelligence than just blind rage... they could have all easily swarmed me considering I was essentially hitting their nest with a hammer.
I sprayed poison at night anyway, cause eventually it'd be a large swarm and not just 20 of them.
It blows my mind I found your channel years ago learning to flint knap. It makes me smile seeing the success you have today!
I'm a believer in the ozone. I bought a house with really bad pet damage. I ripped out off the carpets and the subfloor still smelled. Every night when I wasn't working on the house, before I left, I'd close up the house run the ozone machine. I kid you not it got rid of all the smell after 4 nights. I did it for 2 weeks just to be sure
I hope you were really careful to let it air out thoroughly each morning.
Ozone in your lungs is no joke! 😆

I work in a hotel and we don't use ozone to kill bugs or mold. We use it to get rid of cigarette smoke after someone smoked in a room.
I would say that it's better to use it when people are not near so no one gets harmed, Just saying
Would ozone kill bed bugs?
@@eckankar7756 no, it won't kill bed bugs, and this is a ridiculous way to use this machine.... I work in pest control.
@@adamcorak6074 ozone will kill anything in high enough concentrations. Though you run the risk of it breaking down into oxygen and spontaneously combusting. Still gets rid of the bugs though.
@@adamcorak6074
I wouldn’t run out and buy an ozone generator for this purpose, but this looks like a fun, little job for a Johnny Homeowner who has an ozone generator. Personally, I wouldn’t bother with this. Looks like too much work.
Bro giving those yellow jacket WW2 flashback
Ozone O3 is great at breaking down all kinds of particles, especially dirty such ( hence holes in the ozone layer ) but its also destructive for humans and other material so be careful. O3 breaks down into O2 so no long term precautions.
Ozone in low concentrations has a nostalgic smell to me, the electrical mechanisms in dodgems/bumper cars cause them to break down oxygen in the air into ozone which results in a characteristic halogen-like odour.
To me, it's the smell of the model train set when I was a kid. 50% ozone from the arcing, 50% vaporized motor brushes.
@@moconnell663 ahahh ozone is extremly toxic to humans
Ah the good ol days when cars were made with toxic materials and generally very hazardous
that is how air smells after thrunderstorm, and i like it :D
It smells like thunderstorms
The very best way to get rid of hornets is to have Shawn as your neighbor, and tell him about it.
Would be awesome to have Shawn as a neighbor. He seems to be a genuine down to earth guy.
I have earlier use cement powder disolved in water and then pour it down the nest. Normally it ony takes a few days before they are all dead, covered with a thin layer of cement, which makes them all stiff.
As someone who's been stung by those demons, this appeases me.
As someone who is deadly allergic to these flying demons I'm also appeases me
The ozone might be making their wings break. Sort of like how it makes certain plastics brittle. Other parts of them, too, but the wings would cause them to drop out of the air.
I thought it made them poop😆 had to look again then saw it was their wings
Sometimes Shawn shows viewer art, and sometimes he shows animals watching his videos. Kudos to Katie, Age 6, for incorporating both.
I’d like to see BigClive tear that thicc ozone generator down
HELL YEAH! He had done ozone generators before, if you haven't seen them check 'em out!
Riiiight
I think he has already torn down such a big unit. it contained a very large ozone generation tube (Diameter of around 5 cm).
This guy is the most extra person for no reason
That's an amazing way of describing him.
Those ground burrowing yellow jackets are incredibly aggressive , I fell into a hole of them when I was a kid and they swarmed my leg and also chased me all the way home ! when I got inside I threw my shirt off and there were yellow jackets on my shirt biting and stinging it as it laid on the floor..
That Ozone generator works great to de stink a car. It works. Just FYI
Great advice for polish car brokers buying sunk cars from Belgium, Nederlands, and Germany to sell them to other Poles.
True! It also gets rid of the smell of death
I've ordered that exact model two days ago in the UK, for dealing with the interiors of two musty old cars.
Just don’t leave it for more than 15-20 minutes maximum! We left it for an hour and the plastics oxidized with the ozone and the overpowering ozone smell is still there, nearly 1 year later.

The foaming spray works the best. Kills on contact and wasps and hornets always return to their nest to defend it, or by nightfall. Usually a second application and a shovel removes the nest from ever becoming a nuisance.

I still think soapy water is safer because you don't necessarily have to expose as much of the nest. I'd be interested in seeing you do one of those metal ground castings - they usually do them for large ants.
I swear by ozone for getting rid of nasty odors and cars and houses. However grandma I had a big old Yellow Jacket nest in my backyard, I just waited until it was dark, poured some gasoline down that puppy and it was gone in 2 seconds

The best way I've discovered to get rid of yellow jackets. Seven Dust. Just a little puff of it on the entrance to the nest. They walk through it and track it inside, eventually killing the queen and eggs as well. It only takes a day and they're all dead.

bro took up the old German extermination method
If you have a fish tank- a bee suit, a shovel, a ozone generator, and about a 300 yard extention cord
One thing that will help you with the ozone, beat on the ground repeatedly to get them stirred up after you place the fish tank over. Another trick I use is to place a screen over the hole where they can't get out then pour soapy water down in it to kill them
I love the scent of ozone. Bees, flys and probably yellow jackets have the ability to shut down and play dead, only to come back to life.
That's why the wasp nest having entrance into bedroom vanished after meticulously ozone treating whole house. Never had issue with ants in bathroom after that, either (which was very persistent to any other attempts to eradicate).
Thats because insect doesn't have lungs to "break" this O3, they have pipe like conduits instead, making the air to pass through to all cells but cells only admit O2. Humans uses the hemoglobine to process O3 and O2 to give oxigen to all cells. Greantings and Like from Spain!
PD: Sorry for my bad english
Your lungs don't "break down" o3, o3 breaks down your lungs. Hemoglobin doesn't process oxygen, it carries it. Your cells process the oxygen, which produces co2 as a byproduct. Ozone is a strong disinfecting agent, that quickly oxidizes most organic, and some inorganic compounds. I would not recommend breathing it. Also, your english is fine.
@@jkjoegunz awesome, i thoght thats was because they dont have any system to absorb o3, but it's logical that is used as oxydizer. Everyday there's something new to learn xD
Everytime he says “concentrated” I almost ready for him to say “Dark Matter”
SO WERE JUST GONNA ADD SOME COCETRATED DARK MATTER TO THE WASPS

Seems like you could also hookup a hose to your tailpipe to fumigate the next.
This makes me happy inside of my heart
In my experience, the best and cheapest way to kill ground hornets is to wait till the evening, when they're asleep. Then get a screen, some rocks to hold it down, dawn dish soap and a hose. Cover the nest with the mesh/screen and hold it in place with the rocks. Then pour the dish soap in the hole (about 1/2 - 1 cup will do) and fill with water till it just starts to overflow. Leave till morning, and they'll all be dead.
Yes it works well I’ve had done it a couple times. Very dangerous tho. Gotta make sure the screen has no big holes, and it’s completely held on the ground, or else you’d find yourself in the hospital shortly after, with dozens (if not hundreds) of painful stings in you. 1 sting hurts pretty bad from those guys and will be swore for a little bit after, never mind a whole swarm lol
Cheapest way to deal with hornets is to live with them and beat them back if they decide to move in. Don't need much
Funny you should post this. My son stepped on a ground nest today while mowing the lawn. Needless to say he came running like Chris Farley in Tommy Boy when they pretended to get attacked by bees
"Your firearms are useless against them!"
When I was a kid, my mom ran over a nest with a push lawnmower. I watched her run around the yard through the sliding glass door (I was 7 or 8 I guess) then watched her tear off her shirt as she ran for the door. I was traumatized, but probably not as much as her. Lol.
