  • Hornets built the biggest nest I have ever removed from someone's ceiling! This colony had thousands of adults inside! The nest itself was 36" wide! I brought the nest home, and fed it to my chickens and my squirrels!

    Thank you so much for removing this giant nest. I wish I could of been home that day to see it in person! They have also definitely cleared out and they don't dive bomb me anymore. Not what I wanted my garage to be famous for but glad they are gone.

      That is some jasper (Common/German wasp) nest, must be one of the largest one I have ever seen, I am surprised you don't use raw ammonia to kill them, When you come across hornets, they are big as your thumb. And you don't want to get stung by them, it's extremely painful

    My family home sold recently and during renovations over the years there was a hornets nest left there oddly enough not one sting over the 50 years, my parents had a wood burning stove for the winter and these bees never made a mess or a noise. It was smaller than this nest and the colors changed over the years. The heat from the stove pipe kept them going for decades in upstate NY winters. Amazing video!

    I've watched many of your videos and have learned a lot about wasps, their lives, their habits, benefits, and hazards. It's been an education. Your narration is interesting and informative.
    I just watched about half of a very long video by a fellow in Australia(DAP). There's a huge difference between your knowledge and ethics and his showmanship. He lost me when he had two feet of comb, paper, and dead wasps on the floor and exclaimed, "I feel sorry for the homeowner, I'm not picking that up." No pride in his work.
    That made me a subscriber to your channel. Keep up your good work

Except... we kinda decided to just leave them alone even after we found their entrance because they were the most incredibly docile wasps we've ever seen, and if we're gonna have wasps around anyway, we'd rather these ones spread than the ones we usually get. It was sort of a mistake because riiiiight before it started getting cold, they chewed all the way inside and now we're not sure what to do about the wall, or any of it really.

What we didn't know was that there was a hornet nest underneath the metal cap at the top of the pool wall with at least 20 hornets in it.
