Have you considered using a flamethrower?
Next up use mustard gas lol
There's often more than one queen in asian yellow jacket nests. Check 3:26.
I ASKED FOR A GLASS OF JUICE, NOT GAS THE YELLOW JACKETS!!!!
How much does it cost? Asking for a German art student.
So far the liquid nitrogen did the best job, but I'd love to see price comparisons for those methods.
$150 for a Giant Destroyer?!?
@@stevenscottoddballz Not sure what you saw but they’re around 4/$6.99 USD
Liquid nitrogen is about $2/litre
They were nice and crunchy
The cheapest cryogenic would probably be dry ice pellets. About $9/Lbs. Probably just as effective as nitrogen and definitely safer.
I can't help but feel bad for all of Shawn's fish, waiting at home in a coffee mug for him to come back with the tank.
You had me like poor fish for a minute and I had to watch it again to see if the tank looked lived in 😆
For some reason I imagined fish with mugs filled with coffee

I have posted on your yellow jacket videos before. My brother and I removed these nests, litterally between the 2 of us, thousands of times. He made a pretty good living vacuuming the nest with a collection system he designed and then froze the wasps with CO2/dry ice, in a large chest freezer. and while frozen we would quickly sort the workers from the drones and while still frozen pack them off to 2 different pharmaceutical companies that made antivenom. There were only 2 companies in the US at the time that were producing species specific and polyvalent AV's. One company was on the West coast in Spokane. He also traveled in the winter months to Florida and a couple of years to Australia. The US companies paid an average of $750/pound of workers/females. (This was 25 years ago) (they are the only ones that have stingers.) If the shipment thawed it was thrown out. The venom once thawed was not viable. easy to tell as the venom would turn pale yellow instead of clear. Species had to be ID'd as sometimes the companies were only making a specific AV. Trivia for the day His Company was called Bee Busters. This was only done with nests that were not an immediate threat and were located early and allowed to grow to the size of the ones you are killing. Takes a lot of wasps to make a pound.
Interesting, thanks for sharing
That is freaking awesome!
God damn felt like I read/watched an autobiography thru the lens of the most dopest n niche come up artist's in history.
That's a pretty awesome story!
Very cool! Thanks for the help.. some folk are allergic to these things and you've probably saved some lives. Possibly even mine!
Have you thought about molten aluminum? Looks amazing when done to ant hills, wonder what a yellow jacket nest would look like.
How about molten obsidian?
@@aashishemani2997 that's idiotic, that's just molten stone which doesn't flow it sticks.
Probably quite different, because while ants build branching tunnels yellow jackets have a much more layered nest structure.
You’ve certainly must have seen those anthill art videos ehh!
I doubt it would be interesting. While ant nests are tunnel systems that make a great cast, yellow jacket nests are just a big spherical space with 100% burnable layers inside that will be completely destroyed once the aluminum touches them, so I think in the end it would just turn out to be a huge blob of aluminum.
Imagine how devastating it would be if Shawn Woods, LockPickingLawer, and Vsauce teamed up to take over the world
That is a huge nest. Pretty sure any of the other ones on the videos would have been finished off by this. There was just so much for the smoke to reach.
Shawn, when I was younger, my father used a road flare to eliminate a yellow jacket nest in our yard. He lit the flare, stuck the flaming end into the hole and let it burn out. Worked very well. Not sure if you've tried this method before but would like to see you try.
This man's indifference to getting attack is baffling and impressive
It's not indifference if you put on a protective suit. But yeah, I'd be running and screaming.
@@flemch6136 Be got attacked before he put on the suit.
I hate those things. I remember when I was maybe 9 years old, and my parents were building a new home in the hills. The guy on a CAT dug into a yellow jacket nest when breaking ground, and it was so bad they called paramedics and an ambulance came to take him to the hospital. It scared me to death since I got to see it happen, and knew a lot of the workers that got stung as well. This is a good idea - unfortunately I'm pretty sure they made these smoke bombs illegal in CA. Just like anything that works. A lot of people aren't aware of how their life cycle works, might be worth discussion.
“Just like anything that works” in California cracks me up 😂
Use a road flare - lots of smoke and they burn for several minutes. Great for moles and gophers, too.

@@h8GW Because they would.
This year was one of the worst years I've ever experienced with yellow jackets. I live in North East Pennsylvania and travel to the tri-state area for work and it's the same everywhere. I have never seen so many in my life.
I’m in the province of Quebec and it’s bad this year . The worst I’ve seen .
So dry
I don't know why, but it's just so satisfying to watch them die.
I feel like there might have been a few pets that went missing in your neighborhood as a child.
I'm a little bit ashamed that I really wanted to see them drop. It's so weird
wasps are pure evil
@@rosscoeradio3741 Imao they are just wasps
@@Stag2003 he probably said “they’re just dogs or cats”. Then eventually people that are “sinners”, “degenerates”, “evil” or whatever justification is.
You didn’t warn those hornets “fire in the hole” 😂😂😂
Interesting video! I had my fight with a nest this summer.
I discovered a small wasp nest in a cupboard on my balcony. Because I had it I used iso propyl alcohol (I normally use it for cleaning electronics) and just poured it over the nest to see what would happen. Wasps died within seconds after they got it on them. I was surprised by the speed.
In my case it was easy to access the nest as I only had to open the cupboard to get to the nest.
Thanks for the videos!
Great idea! Pretty cheap, too. And if the nest is far from structures, a match would finish it off beautifully 😂
Lol I use that stuff on wasp ants & other insects!
Some ants harder to kill tho!
It’s cheaper than buying bug spray!
Nice to know I’m not the only one🤠😂
Isopropyl seems to kill most insects near instantly. It's useful to have a couple of spray bottles of it on hand.
Acetone (fingernail polish remover) kills insects really quickly.
Methylated spirits on an inch ant kills it faster than stepping on it does. Weird.
Have you seen the aluminum castings of ant hills or nest sometimes? It looks cool too
Was thinking the same thing
Could be a fire hazard though...
@@EgnachHelton it's definitely a fire hazard. You really only want to do that when it's recently rained.
Very bad killing those ants wasp I understand but not ants!
@@7r47ufchfyw7twguwgu fire ants?
Great video brother I usually use highway flares they're a lot cheaper and they go a lot deeper and produce a lot more smoke I use it for hornets Groundhogs or anything that Digs a burrow underground or builds a nest under a Raised building it does a fine job
That is a *great* idea! I’m going to try that on a massive chipmunk den in my yard!
How does that kill them? Heat?
@@ultrajd prob heat & smoke!
Probably displaces oxygen etc!?
I specifically remember playing with these when a kid (not smart, I know, hey I was a kid). even outside, just being near such flares for a few minutes would result in a really unpleasant choking sensation for a while even after getting away. they are cheap, last a long time, and produce hot noxious fumes. I never thought of it but would guess they might be great for underground pest control.
@ultrajd Apparently, road flares release many of the same combustion products as these specifically-made devices.
I’m loving all these different ways to deal with yellow jackets, very creative!
In Australia in Sydney the councils did a mass eradication program with pyrethrin powder pumping into the nests, some of the nests removed were washing machine sized. They are still around in colder suburbs like Tumut and in Canberra, where they go dormant in colder weather. Massive impact on crticially endangered species like corroboree frogs.
I don't know where this fella is, what state, but with things getting hotter we'll have car sized wasp balls before long.
Those type of gassers work well on ground squirrels when the ground is saturated with moisture. Otherwise the generated gas escapes via cracks in the earth.
Great! Thanks!
“imma dig up a little more dirt so the nest doesn’t break up”
the nest: *breaks in half*
Love these hornet and yellow jacket control videos, Shawn. Keep up the good work!
I love such videos. Short, honest, concise, sweet and to the point. Excellent!
Hello Shawn, just started watching your videos !it didn’t take me long before I subscribed. Very impressive! I was looking up how to get rid of yellow jackets and your video was the fourth one I watched but I’m sold!! Great job!
I like these videos almost as much as the mousetrap ones.🙂
Put the nest in the freezer and pull it out when you need the larvae for fish bait.
Those yellow jackets really deserved that.
A holes 🕳 with wings 😆

"Deserve's got nothing to do with it." William Munny to Little Bill just before he sends Little Bill to the nether regions.
What a beautiful nest! A true masterpiece. Don't wanna step into it though.
Early! These hornet/yellow jacket videos are my favorite! keep up the great work!
Thank you for testing all of these options for us.
I love the yellow jackets videos more than the mouse/ rat traps. Thank you Shawn.
Allright, YellowJacket Monday 👍
Love the wasp nest videos, idk why maybe because the techniques used are so various
And seeing so many of them get obliterated is satisfying.
Yes, the different techniques make it more interesting. I remember one of Shawn's most popular videos was the mouse trap that was just a bowl of oil. Most mousetraps seem to follow the same three basic designs of a bucket, cage or snap trap.
I really love these yellow jacket videos! You make cool content
I find this pretty interesting given the fact that I have had great success with the giant destroyers. I bought a case of them for the gophers that like to tear my yard up, they work very well. I never thought about using them for ground nests, but I've never had any on my property.
Good to know I'm prepared either way!
Everytime this guy appears...
Hornets: _Why do we all hear the trumpets of Armageddon!_
No one:

My 6 year old son built your soapy water yellowjacket trap from memory. I was amazed he did that and wiped out quite a few of them in the process. He used apples instead of meat, but it worked just as well.
Depending on the time of the year, yellow jackets are attracted to either protein or carbohydrates. In the spring and summer, they would have not been attracted to apples. They gather meat to feed their larvae. But in the fall or maybe even into early winter, yellow jackets start consuming sugar, so apples would attract them. I live in the Midwest, so the seasonal bait may vary based on which part of the country you're in. Anyway, glad your son had fun with his interesting arts and crafts project!
Oooooo! Over 700 videos now!
Keep 'em coming!
Love the video keep up the good work
I was wondering when You were going to add ‘occasionally Yellowjacket nests’ 😆😆 Have a great week Shawn!!
You are a good man. I love how you constantly commit war crimes against a bunch of angry little duckers who deserve what's coming to them.
The biggest mistake I see when people are trying to get rid of yellow jackets and wasp is they all do it during the day when workers are out flying around many times they come back and restart the nest. I always try to kill them at night when most of them are in the nest.
That wasn't nearly as effective at killing off the nest compared to the other methods like ozone and liquid nitrogen.
No need for electricity though... it's all about tradeoffs.
@@dogishappy0 liquid nitrogen is electric free, probably also safer if you plan on feeding these things to wildlife later too
It appeared to be a bigger, deeper nest, so it's not a fair comparison. Even if the smoke bomb isn't quite as effective as liquid nitrogen, it's much easier to carry them around.
LN2 needed more than one go, from memory. Shaun also needed to throw a bit more onto the nezt once he dug it up because there were a few survivors deep in the nest. But I guess folks like LN2 because it's just cooler.
@@KieranShort "it's just cooler" I see what you did there. 😏
good video under the new name. Took me a minute to realize. really enjoy all your content.
"Look at that carnage"
Summoning his inner Jim Ross😂😂
My main concern for this was the possible fire hazard but I'm glad you immediately adressed this issue. Thumbs up!
The remaining yellow jackets will remember this day of the grey fog
The hornet king is going to have words with you!
This was extremely satisfying to watch!!!
Satisfying to see you pull the whole thing out
I have used the Giant Destroyer smoker on my Groundhogs.
Some (but not absolute) positive results.
Not always ideal conditions, but the lingering sulphur odor seems to help keep varment at bay for some time.
The Hornet King uses a vacuum to suck up the little beasties, and then dismantles the nest and take the larva-filled combs to his chicken, who LOVE all those larva. lol .... I figured seeing as how you like to feed the critters to the other critters on your property, you might like to feed your chickens the wasp larva. :-) BTW, I like the smoke bomb bset, although I'd have given that nest a third treatment in the hopes that the sulphur smoke got far enough down into the nest to kill ALL those nasty, stinging wasps.
Thank you sir for posting this.
That hive looks like underground Umbrella bases in Resident Evil movies :)
I like how he kills things and is all nice about it.
3:10 “There’s the queen right there…” [snap] 😆
"There's the queen, right there"
*crushes its head*
How about the fish tank + dry ice?
looking forward to the "Dynamite vs Yellow Jacket Nest" video
it's good to get some rain again that is for sure ,i have been watching and enjoying your show for a while now, i have tried a lot of the traps you have showcased , i live 20 miles east of Newport right in the forest there is a lot of thing to trap here like mountain boomers, now it's just about time for the varmints to be looking for a place to live out of the bad weather i better go set some more traps out . good luck with your adventures ,and thanks for you help
He’s right, this fall was crazy. I have an apple tree in my backyard and in the fall when the apples started falling there were at least a few thousand yellow jackets at any given time back there…
We Used to do something similar to groundhogs using a pipe running from a running vehicle exhaust pipe. The carbon monoxide would poison off anything in the hole, and then you cover it with dirt. Supposedly it had the bonus effect oe killing anything that later dug into the hole to try and reuse it
Now that's hella DEEP
That is a HUGE nest!
“Here is the queen right there”. Proceeds to crush her
" look at that carnage"
My family hasn’t had much luck with gopher gassers. They tend to just dig a new hole elsewhere, plus their burrows at least around here often have two or three exists for ventilation so unless you know where all entrances are, they just run out or have a built in filtration system
I've tried those smoke bombs on moles and they work pretty well.
imagine leaving the nest to go look at grass and you come back and its like this
Woaw man you are starting to encroach into hornet king territory
I think your bee suit looks cool worn over top of your rubber boots like that. Really stops the yellowjackets from flying up your pant legs and getting to you. It's cool how they grip the sides of the boots.
I got stung this week, this felt good to watch
Good suggestion with the smokes.
That was interesting to see, an yes them gopher bombs work wonders on gophers l use them myself as well as a shovel 😂. Thanks for the video Stay Safe ✌️
I am subscribed to this channel and set all notifications on but I never receive a notification when a new video comes out.
wow this is impressive how large their colony is :lemme just destroy it:
That is absolutely massive!
Dude that nest is the size of an underground alien base prepping for an assault or something, my god
Good video Shawn. I wonder if Propane gas (which is heavier than air,) could also work. Just poke the pipe down the hole and let rip for a few minutes. Also it could make a good "fire in the hole!"
That worked very good.
Like you said, gas em, cover the hole, they won't survive at all.
In my brain I knew it was a smoke bomb, but when you tossed it under the aquarium I still expected it to explode.
I like how he is progressing from a simple trap to a more modern military grade matter deletion method. Hope ill hear him say in the future "we will try to delete this pest from existence using this 500 kiloton nuclear bomb".
It seems like lately it's been more Yellow Jacket Monday
In Germany you would already be in prison if you did something like that.
I've tried those exact smokers for groundhogs in Michigan -- completely useless. I'm glad to see that they do work for something.
Oh now Shawn, gloves Shawn gloves. Lol. ;-)
Very interesting. Seems like your methods are way more easier and effective than the pros who wasting time using vacuum cleaner keep sucking up the yellow jacket.
yellow jackets and wasps are one of the reasons i hate summer, so seeing their nests being destroyed in various ways brings me joy
I saw some dude on youtube just put a giant glass jar over the nest and leave it there for a week or two. Because the jar is clear the wasps don't dig another exit hole and starve to death.
"There's the queen right there!"
squish
The old adage of "smoke em' out" lol
"Theres the queen right there" procedes to snap its neck
nice video shawn!
When I lived in the city years ago, some paper wasps made their home in the recess above my door.
They were great! I left them alone for three or four years and they never bothered me. They would occasionally bump into me, but no stings. Then one spring they started getting more aggressive and I had to get rid of them.
While they were there, they worked out great. Salesmen would walk up the sidewalk, see the nest, and turn around and leave without knocking on the door.
Ma man casually committing warcrimes on yellowjackets 💀🤣
Damn - I have to carry an aquarium all around when I am walking around ?
I catch wild bees in Arizona, so some hives are Africanised hybrids. A gopher gasser will nicely kill an aggressive colony.
They work great on yellow jacket wasps as well.
It's the Sulphur Dioxide that they are sensitive to. Gassers are about 40% Sulphur or more.
"There's the queen right there!" *crush*
So, I’m no fire prevention expert, and I’ll admit that I’m probably crackpot crazy, but why not douse the surrounding area with water, or build/dig a barrier for added protection? It likely wouldn’t take much water to get it wet enough to slow the fire long enough for you to use another fire extinguishing method. Now I know the risks, there’s a reason they tell you not to play with fire, and I’m a firm believer of Murphy’s law and whatnot, but even if it did catch fire around the smoke bomb, you’d have the barrier, the fish tank, and hopefully extra water to douse the fire with, or just a fire extinguisher. Either way, I get that it wasn’t a totally urgent matter, but if it were, precautions like the ones I mentioned (or hopefully more creative and effective methods of fire retardation) would have to be put in place.
