Moment of silence for the homeowner that opened that tool box and discovered angry hornets. Last year I was cutting a fallen tree with a chainsaw, and out of nowhere a bald faced hornet stings me in the middle of my nose, I took off. My nose swelled up so big I couldn't wear safety glasses anymore.
@johndoe3johndoe382 - Indeed! Anyone who disturbs a baldfaced hornets nest may run into some painful stings for sure. Your work with trees and chainsaws can be dangerous if wasps and bees may be living in the same tree! We recommend inspecting anywhere you may do outdoor work prior to using any tools. Walk the ground looking for ground wasp nests, try to observe the overhead trees for hanging wasp nests, etc. It can be tough to spot them sometimes even when you are looking for them. We recommend to tree workers, landscapers, outdoor workers of all types to pursue Venom Immunotherapy (VIT) treatments if they are potentially allergic to wasp/bee venom. Can be life saving at times. VIT involves a series of venom-based injections by an allergist doctor over a period of 3 - 5 years. It has over 90% effectiveness rate in stopping severe venom reactions for life. Stay safe out there!
I love hearing the buzzing and swarming of the yellow jackets and hornets alot please keep having the buzzing and swarming sound on these videos it gives me an experience. I still want a bee suit that i can keep. Best regards Nikita.K
My dad had a large nest up high in a tree in his yard, it was too high for the exterminator to remove as it was probably about 30 feet high. The exterminator told my dad as long as he doesn't bump the tree when riding his mower they wouldn't bother him and they didn't. However, if you kill any of them it sends a pheremone that attracts others which he learned when he killed one on his porch. Fortunately he was never stung and sometime over the winter long after the nest died off it finally fell from the tree.
@imagin916 - Thanks for your comment. It brings up a great point. Baldfaced Hornets are so beneficial for the ecosystem as pollinators and biological pest control agents that we should always let them survive when possible. When they are high up in trees away from people you can almost always let them stay there safely. But if they are anywhere close to people they will pose a sting risk and should be removed. It's very true that if you bump their nest they'll come out swinging!
Last summer I discovered two bald faced hornet nests on my property. One under the canopy of a Magnolia tree and the other in a privet hedge. Both locations were very close to where I walked while mowing and did hedge trimming. I was never stung or had noticed frantic swarming while working in those areas. Sometime later in the summer I was bumped by some of the hornets which then made me aware of their presence and their nests. I've also had similar 'bump' experiences with yellow jackets. I've learned to appreciate their heads up notice. Have you experienced the same behavior in the field?
@graciebonsai7272 - Thanks for your comment. Your experiences being "bumped" by wasps is something we often see. Sometimes this means they actually tried and failed to sting you quickly. Other times they are simply attempting to drive you away from their nest. Either way, this is considered aggressive behavior and it would be best to avoid the area or remove the nest if it's in a place you cannot avoid. Otherwise there could be a very aggressive attack at any time with many wasps stinging at once which can be very dangerous, especially if the person stung has venom allergies. That said, if the nests are in a place that is not dangerous to people, then leave it alone and let them do their good work all season as pollinators and biological pest control agents in the ecosystem.
@Psycho9263 - Thanks for your comment. The frozen CO2 (Dry Ice) is used to both knock out the wasps and to humanely flash freeze them to preserve their venom for biomedical use (Venom Immunotherapy/VIT). CO2 is a very common method used by scientists to knock out or euthanize live specimens (for example lab animals are often euthanized humanely with CO2 boxes).

@nkhazov - Hi Nikita. Glad you are enjoying the buzzing and swarming! I'm sure we'll have plenty more of that this season for you. Stay tuned.
@greenwaspremoval you know I will. I still want a bee suit when you can. Best regards Nikita.K

How does the hornet breathe all that CO2? Isn't CO2 an asphyxiant? Also, the temperature is cryogenic.
