![How to Get Rid of Bald-Faced Hornets [4 Easy Steps!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Do816q_EXFY/mqdefault.jpg)
My experience with these is to attack the nest well after dark. The nest is at it’s quietest. Attacking during the day is asking for hells fury! Most of the foragers are out bringing food back to the nest. Not only do you have to worry about the ones in the nest but returning members that will sting & bite.
Set up flood lights straight on with the entrance (usually at the bottom). Set up your attack off by 30 degrees. I prefer to shoot 2 cans simultaneously right into the entrance. If any make it out alive? They go straight for the flood light. Practice has shown this is the best method. Take the nest down a couple of days later with gloves & long sleeve shirt. Put it into a garbage bag & dump in the trash. Never open the nest-ever! There might be one left alive inside & they hurt A LOT! Even just one.
Oh, when we be kids down many years ago, we just burn them out and run like hell method. Used a long stick. When you can stand up to a wasp nest, that was a Right of Passage. Yea, that was in Texas
With all the wide open spaces in our land, hornets would be doing themselves a huge favor by building their nests s far from human activity.
You should check out the “Hornet King” on youtube.
Absolutely 💯
For as much paper as there was I’m surprised the amount of brood wasn’t much bigger. Must be a newer hive they were going to expand into. Anyway, Bald Faced Hornets are actually, technically, wasps. Not actually hornets. Nonetheless, it takes some serious balls to mess with them. They are ruthless
Hornets nest vs shotgun
First time finding these nasties in the bushes in our walk way…totally scared shitless of them. Gonna need to have a professional do this. Anyone else flinch at the screen? Lol
Terrifying. Love me some Bee's! Hate me some Hornets! Just pure evil... We're in Jonesville VA. We need a Hive or two....or three.... Someday.
They will tear u up, use soapy water in a power washer. This 1 should be interesting!!
Edevaldo apicultor ✌️✌️👍👍👍👍
I had to deal with these a few times, what I do is go to them at night when they are all home with a gasoline torch made with a old rag and stick as they fly out their wings disappear if they fly through the flame and they fall to the ground . I normally squirt gas into the nest just to immobilize them and then have a hive roasting party
Those larva make good fish bait
Have heard they would be
i would have used soap kills any bee in seconds.
or wasp
Why do I watch these before bed? 😳
Wow, rather you than me didn't envy you that job. Some cracking photography well done so we could all see what it's like inside the nest. Surprised given their reputation, they didn't go after you a lot more, but glad they didn't for your sake. Job well done congratulations.
Love to see them getting destroyed.... Good job.. Enjoyed watching.. Shout out from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 👍
Thanks for watching. Hope everything good across the pond
The bumble bees video was suggested to me and i'm glad I came :)
Thank you
*_What are the nests made of? The inside is really amazing. I came across a hornet's nest one time while I was maxed out on a cherry picker so lucky they didn't attack cause I couldn't run away. That was in Boston. Back home here in Ireland though we don't have these nasty things_*
It feels like paper
I always used a jar of gasoline. place it below the hive, & the fumes coming from the gasoline fumigate the hive. I place the gas at night when it's cold, & they are sleeping.
That is so cool! Never seen what the inside of one of those looks like.
Wow i havent heard a bob-white quail in decades where i live.
We had a BFH nest in our yard last year and I researched them. When removing you should ALWAYS spray shut the entrance hole with foam poison and the BAG IT UP IMMEDIATELY trying to get as much of the nest in the bag as possible.
The reason is because there are 100 future queens in various stages of development for next season. If you don’t kill all those queens (say some fall out and drop to ground or fly away) that’s X number of nests you need to deal with next year.
In a white-faced hornet colony, there are multiple queens. Not just one.
I always go get them at night when they are all in the hive
Being stung by one those is very painful. Voice of experience. We always find them while hunting. Great job
Very
Time to go fishing..
That’s right
That spray took awhile to kick in.
Great video bud.
They are called bald face hornet but they are really yellow jackets check out the Hornet king channel he explains alot about the and an easier way to remove them no poison
Hats off to you, Those hornets can put a hurtin on you
I’m so happy for you that your other videos blew up! Your bumblebee attack video was the first video I ever watched of yours, sometime last year, I think!
So, I know you had your PPE on, but like, how sad were you that they didn’t seem to live up to their name?! Like, they didn’t seem all that aggressive and defensive to me! I’m surprised and a little sad. Haha
The bald faced hornets are just wasps, like, a more hardcore version of Yellow jackets, they’re all over the US too.
I would have totally thought that whole nest would have been full of paper comb and brood, I was surprised to see that it wasn’t totally filled out. I imagine, if left to their devices, they’d probably fill that out.
I've done a yellow jacket give and won't do it again.
Hornets are on my list of "stay away" and don't ask.
Sticking with the bees. 😎🐝🐝🐝
You’re bumblebee vid hit the algorithm jackpot! Congrats man!
It did really good. Took it a few years
Thank u I hate wasps . I luv bees 🐝 bees are good
That nest looks VERY NASTY!!!
Awesome! I really dislike those buggers. Watch a Hornet King video - he doesn’t kill them though BUT does give you good insight as to how the hives work. The larvae actually secrete food for the adult female workers. Almost as fascinating as a honey bee colony. Thanks for another interesting video! ❤️🐝🐝
DANG those are huge! Daddy used to burn those lol! The rasping of the larvae scratching at their enclosure is cute lol I watch Hornet King as well and I just think the larvae are so cute lol!
Question: why would you opt to not vacuum them first before knocking the nest apart?
Don’t want to deal with vacuumed hornets lol
@@dfishman76 LOL! This falls under the heading of "things you wouldn't think even need saying!" Love your channel!
@@JaneFeibelman maybe so, I just thought they could be dosed inside the canister in an enclosed environment. Sorry to sound simple LOL
Thank you
Whew man!!! Foaming wasp spray works for me! 20-25 ft distance!
Fill the entrance!? Mayb pour gas on the outer nest. Fumes knock them out!? Double whammy 😉🤠😂
That does not make for good videos lol
stop playing with the hive and just remove it
lol, I have to admit I thought that nest was so huge until you stepped into frame. hahahahahaha!!! I mean they are big and I know they are ruthless but the difference of size I thought it was as to what actually was there was comical. Thanks for another great video. I'm sure some one else will say but in case they don't, you should check out "Hornet King" if you haven't already, he's super informative.
At about 9:19 top of nest in the middle, looks like the queen.
I had a hornet nest in a tree in front yard, never bothered anyone, didn’t have fly’s bother you with them around! In the fall hard rain and torn it down.
I've dealt with them before, they aren't very nice.
If you carry a first aid kit with bentonite clay and Juniper Berry EO, you can save yourself a lot of issues with paper wasp, hornet and yellow jacket stings. You make a paste with the oil and the clay and put it on the stings and it draws out the toxins.
I had one of those paper wasp nests and I waited till night and threw ISO on it and set it on fire. I discovered later that soapy water kills them just like it does stink bugs. And they are paper wasps.. The queen doesn't look a lot different from the rest of the wasps, so I'm not surprised you couldn't find her.
No matter how much you read about the physical characteristics of a queen wasp or hornet, you are not likely to be able to pick one out of a line-up. If you look at queen wasp pictures, you'll find that the queen is sometimes a little longer than worker wasps, perhaps a quarter inch. And in some varieties of wasps, queens have a pointed lower abdomen and narrow waist that the non-royal members of the colony do not have.

Duct tape at night. Once entrance is closed, they suffocate and your issue is solved.
I WANT to believe
That's the stuff nightmares are made of. Those things are mean.
Get an e-harmony account. This should be about the problem.
Had one years ago
Chickens love the larva
FYI, you are pointing to nothing, no videos at the end. Awesome video on paper wasps. Have a great day!
Thank you
Eliminate those demons!
Was that twins in the one cell?
Chooks love pecking up those larvae.
My brother and I discovered when we were young that the safest and a really effective way of dealing with any sort of bees, wasps, hornets (which are wasps closely related to yellow jackets which, in my experience, have the worst sting and its pain lasts the longest). We were being attacked by bald-faced hornets (which is one of several names for them, but, my favorite is "white-ass hornets") where third-base was on the street where we played softball (they had set up their nest inside an about 4 ft. high railroad tie wall) and, not having any spray poison we came up with the idea of mixing up a small amount of dish soap (for the foam) and ammonia in the bottle the dish soap came in (the little nozzle on the cap of the bottle is ideal for injecting the foam into the entrance). The best thing about the foam is it slows the hornets down and keeps them from getting at you and you'd be pretty amazed at how fast the ammonia works at driving the hornets out of the hive (at least those that could get out, as the foam slowed most of them down enough for the ammonia to kill them) and because of the foam they can't get back inside (not that they really want to at that point). Every now and then we would run up and give another dose when the foam began to thin out. I don't know if they made stronger solutions of ammonia back in the '60s but you could smell it from yards away and even though the workers who had been out foraging clustered around the entrance for hours, around evening time they wandered off and in the morning they were all gone. My suspicion is that the foam also helps keep the fumes from the ammonia inside the nest and most likely this killed the queen. Anyway, That morning not a hornet was to be seen (except the dead ones around the entrance), there was no smell from the ammonia and obviously, no residual poisons to worry about with children or animals (i.e., pets, children being little animals themselves). Cheap, easy to make and relatively safe (at least no residual poisons to worry about as ammonia is a gas held in suspension). Used this methods many times since then and it's never failed me. I've used the poison sprays in areas that were hard to get to since most wasp sprays these days shoot pretty far, but these are usually places where pets and children generally aren't a concern.

Stupid question alert: Can you place a plastic bag over it, and then use a putty knife to disconnect the top of it and quickly drop it in and close up the bag? Then they could suffocate?
They can chew through plastic bags. You can put them in the freezer for 5 days but who wants that. The best I've seen was someone using gorilla spray adhesive on the hole and outside of the nest. they did this during the day so it caught the foragers returning then using drione to kill the whole hive. Drione alone will do it but then you won't get to see a clump of stuck bugs and this cuts down the swarm. A bee suite required.
@@chuck-dd3gk Thank you for your answer.
Hornets freak me out.
WHY DO THEY WASTE TIME AND PRODUCTS??...CAN YOU JUST THROW A NET OVER THE NEST OR A BIG BAG AND TAKE IT AWAY??
Lol a net? A net has holes in it.. think I will do it my way...
go right ahead. I won't tell them your comming
I just had an unexpected encounter with the white face hornets this weekend while trimming a tall shrub. First I felt a few stings in the back. I thought it was just needles from the tree getting inside my shirt. Then I saw some of the bees flying around me. Full panic set in when I saw the nest about two feet from my face and the hornets were scrambling to get out and attack me .I just flew off of the ladder and ran. I was stung eleven times in the back. These little bastards are mean. Double check for nests before doing any outside work. I was lucky.
Hornets! Nooooooo 😱
Glad you like Duluth pants they're from Duluth Minnesota where I live. 😊
they make a great product
Very few Duluth brand pants are from the USA anymore.
Those are called bald faced hornets, but they are not hornets. They are wasps and very similar to yellow jackets. Ants are cousins of wasps.
Hornets have the body shape of a bee, they don't have the waspy waist. Hornets are the only ones who fly hunt and fly at night as well as during the day.
Where did you buy your suit at
I don’t remember where this one come from
I stepped on a yellow jacket nest and was stung over 200 times. Angry little creatures
Dang that had to hurt
Dang that had to hurt
@@dfishman76 yes .. yes it did. It was forever before I didn’t dodge all flying insects 🤣. They chased me and my mom had to use the water hose to buy us time to get inside. I have a healthy respect for hornets that’s for sure
I enjoyed your video. One thing however: Bald Faced Hornets are not actually hornets. They are a paper wasp.That doesn't mean they aren't mean as all get out or dangerous though!
Wd-40 and a cigarette lighter makes quit work of it burns off their wing and they fall straight down. Then just step on them. Man i bet them things would hurt if they got a hold of ya. Nice video. Keeping coming!
Why not just duct tape the hole shut & take down the nest intact & drop in a thick bag? We would do that at night, though no need to tape the hole shut at night. You just sneak a bag over it quick & tie it.
I remember about 15yrs at my grandparents house I seen a hive that looked just like that hanging on top side of the house they hired a man to clamb up and get it and ended up pouring gas on it and burning it . But til this day I don't know how nobody seen it before it was that big because it was in plain sight and I was living there at the time and I was around that part of the house every day
Strange, usually I found nests (European hornets) full of larvae beds and not just the top, possibly because still early in their season? I did all the hornet work in my district and half the wasps. Great times, I loved it!
My preferred option has always been: wait until night, knock that sucker off the tree branch and let the raccoons and squirrels have their way with it.
the best time to remove wasp is the night time. using just insect killing spray..
Haha I bet I do!!!! Heard a bob white in the background sure do miss hearing them. Their habitat is about all gone around here
Leave the paper comb with the larvae outside in the open. The birds will find it and pick it clean.
Hornet King Channel is very educational and fun if you have not already seen it.
Yea, but look at all that good honey you got, never mind.
Thanks ... it was interesting. Sharon Wisconsin 🇺🇸
and then we're going to uh... Love it!
Too many chemicals.
Was there to kill them... not save them
@@dfishman76 You can kill them without using toxic chemicals
(Without any damage, a hornet nest sells up to $40.00 at a Flea Mkt...)
No way to take that down without damaging it
Reaches for flamethrower...
Nice Job Man!,8:48
Nice job and video
What happened to the ones that got away?
They will die
use gas in spray bottle kills with contact and vapor. not hornets will be flying
😥😥😥😥
You're supposed to take down a hornet's nest at night preferably when it's cold.
Once you get the nest down always burn it
Why?
@@dfishman76 I Burn to make sure the Larva does not hatch. Have seen then after spray and removal still hatch out days latter. I myself rather see them all dead lol Take care and stay safe Sir
These are called Bald face Hornets but they are not a Hornet they are actually a member of the yellow jacket family. Watch Herc1120 and Hornetking they both do a lot of bald face hornet removals and relocations. They can educate you a lot about them.
