      My childhood wasp trauma was a bit different. I was at my grandmothers house, in the backyard playin around n exploring. Came across this funny looking paper thing bout size of an adult hand (fingers extended) hanging under a water hose holder on the wall. Being that I had no idea what this object was or why it was there, walking stick in hand I opted to perform one of humanities oldest and advanced type of scientific study......which lead to a astonishing discovery. Wasps really dont like it when you poke their nest with a stick. Clearly I was smarterestest child. I recall running inside the house crying with wasps all over me, not clear as to the following events. Pretty sure my dad torched the nest though. Oddly enough I dont actually recall the stings hurting to bad. I imagine it was likely due to adrenaline and panic. Since then however Ive been terrified of wasps.

    Careful with the gloves around cold liquids like that. While some liquid may bounce off the bare skin and not cause any harm, the gloves will absorb it and keep the freezing liquid in contact with your skin long enough to cause damage. Since you need to wear them in order to avoid being stung, be mindful of any eventual drips down the side of the container where you might be holding your hand.

    I wouldn't even know where to go out & buy some liquid Nitrogen ... but it did a good job on those yellow jackets. I've had enough run-ins with yellow jackets to hate them. Recently I was watching my platform bird feeder, and there was a Northern Cardinal eating some sun flower seeds. A yellow jacket made the mistake of buzzing around the Cardinal, and in a flash, it nabbed it out of the air, ate it, and went back to eating sunflower seeds. Wish I'd had a video recording of that .. it was awesome.

    One day I poured a tank of liquid nitrogen on the kid next door because he was annoying as hell. But he was still moving, so I threw in a few extra gallons.

    Liquid Nitrogen LN2 boiling point is negative 321 degrees F. pouring it down the hole you are getting a classic Ledenfrost effect. You are mostly suffocating them then directly freezing them. Its not like the movies where you instantly freeze something solid instantly. It takes some time all dependent on size and temperature of object. Cool video( no pun intended) thanks for posting. Oh and I deliver LN2 for a living 20 plus years.

    I have 100 gallons of diesel in a tank on my truck. It has a 30 foot spool and I jam the nozzle into the hole and flood with diesel fuel. Once about 10 gallons go into the hive, I hit a trail with a butane torch. It doesn't explode like gasoline does, but it burns a long time. You freeze them, I burn them, the end result is the same.

    "By far the best method" is almost an understatement of your success. Gongrats of being the perfect yellow jacket exterminator.
