Ive read somewhere that catfood with borax mixed in will kill the nest that they came from. I havent tried it yet myself but im considering it because they are a major nuisance on my front patio lol
What is the bottle trap shown at the end of the video? Is it your yellow jacket trap from a couple of years ago? I am afraid that the bald-faced hornets are too big to get through the straw. What stops the bumble and honey bees from becoming casualties of this trap?
That is the same style as shown in the other video. I like it best. You can get different size straws so that the bald faced hornets (actually a wasp) can get in.
@@mattjenssen7518 I find yellow jackets much more populace. The bald face hornets do go after nectar and sweet stuff. Honey is certainly on their diet. I am glad they don’t normally climb in pop cans.
@@DirtCleanerVideos baldfaced hornets like pears too. Yellow jackets get in my face for no reason especially towards late season. I believe they want our sweat which is a myth why we call them sweat bees. Sweat bees are green which like sweat too. I believe bald faced hornets like honey and nectar from pears. They don't like sugar from pop or cake or hamburger meat or sweat. Bald faced hornets stay away from picnics because of that unless flies are around. My friend today had a bald faced hornet buzzing near his ear and getting close to his head. I think he pissed it off he had no honey unless a fly was near by. I've see bald faced hornets near grills because they like heat. So I guess at picnics they could come by if a grill is handy and a fly is near by too. I also notice they love dog poop , I think from the protein or maggots. Only one bald faced hornet per dog feces I think they chase other ones away and fight. Bald faced hornets are mysterious and strange.
Bald faced hornets and yellow jackets at the start of the season go after true bugs and flies. August til the first frost, they go after flies and sweets. Sweets for themselves and insects for their young. Why they do it at the end of the season is because I believe in my theory they expelled al their energy trying to capture insects, foraging the nest and building the nest so they get hungry for carbs and protein that's easy to get and still get insects for the young. I've see bald faced hornets capture yellow jackets and honey bees and take their honey. Like I said these are my theories that's why I asked.yellow jackets are aggressive and a nuisance. Bald faced hornets are just aggressive especially near nests not really when hunting.
I recently discovered boric acid traps- I'm trying to save my honeybees too!
You are kicking ass. Never stop.
I do what little I can. Thanks Bill.
Your a bad ass killing the homestead game handicapped and better then me i love it it gives me hope seeing fighters like you wows me
I don’t have all the answers but I keep on trying. Take it easy!

I have seen something like that too. A Boric Acid (not Borax) mixture is what they can drink and bring back to the hive to kill the others.
Cool video. Stay safe out there.
Thanks. You too.
Great Video, I'm gonna have to try it out. The bald face hornets have started to get aggressive
they are fun to watch....until they get angry.

@@DirtCleanerVideos I went to your channel page but couldn't find the soda bottle trap. Could you add a link? Thx.

Great video!.
Thanks
I don't think bald faced hornets do not like honey or else they would be at picnics if im not mistaken
They were infacuated with my empty hive. I'm thinking they do like honey.
@@DirtCleanerVideos possibly but why aren't they at cookouts where sweets and meats are?
