Hornet Nest Removal Downingtown PA

- Our client in Downingtown PA had a GIANT bald faced hornet nest in the eaves on the back of their home. They knew they needed a Hornet Expert so they called Prudential Pest Solutions to treat and remove their bald faced hornet nest. This nest was located about 20 feet off the ground so we needed our extension ladder to reach the nest. I like to get as close as possible to the hornet nest so that we can treat and remove the nest. After I put on my bee suit, I climbed the ladder to get as close as possible to the nest. It is important to make sure you have all of your protective sting gear on before the treatment because Bald Faced Hornets can pack quite a punch when they sting. When I got my camera close to the nest to video the opening, the hornets began to come out of the nest to investigate the intruder. Using my favorite hornet treating chemical, PT PI, I began the treatment. PT PI works very well for this treatment because it works quickly and permeates the entire interior of the nest. I begin the treatment by applying the PT PI into the main opening of the nest. This creates a dam of dead hornets which traps the remaining live hornets in the nest. I then pierce the PT PI applicator into the side of the nest to finish off the remaining hornets in the nest. Once the activity inside the nest subsides, I scrape the nest off of the house. There are always some hornets that are outside of the nest during the treatment. These hornets will congregate where the nest was located on the outside of the house. It is interesting that the hornets will not gather at the actual nest that we removed. They will gather where the nest USED to be, on the eaves of the house. For these hornets, we will spray a liquid insecticide that has a residual element onto the surface of the eave and soffit. This liquid insecticide will kill off the remaining hornets that are there and any that return to the area. The hornet nest that we removed was slightly smaller than a basketball which is a pretty good sized hornet nest. I always like to show the inner workings and inner structure of the nst after we remove it. It is interesting to see how the hornets construct their nest and how many new hornets would have emerged in the coming days and weeks. The queen does not leave the nest and would have been killed during the treatment process. This means that there is no way for any remaining hornets to re-build the nest. If you are interested in learning how bald faced hornets make their nests, we have a video that shows the process.

Bee suit, wasp suit, hornet suit……WHATEVER!! There is NO WAY I would be caught dead or alive near these things. Kudos to you sir. Greatest admiration and respect.
You can do it. If I can do it, you can too...........but at night after dark. A little planning and prep, is all that is needed.
Really scary when you know what one single sting does! Well done!
My preferred product for dealing with Bald Face Hornets was D-Foam. It expands like shaving cream and prevents ANY hornets from getting out of the nest. After shooting the main entrance for about ten seconds I would poke the injector into various spots on the nest and shoot those and fill the entire nest in the expanding foam.
You guys seem to know your stuff on this matter. Great job!
You are a brave man!
Bees, wasps, hornets . . . it doesn't matter. I can't deal with them. Just watching this freaks me out. Salute to you guys.
I have actually pulled over, while driving, with just one in my car! Just one will freak me out!!!
Great Video!
I have a wrap around porch on all three sides of my house that wasp nest love to build. I keep a monthly check and get them before they get too big. I also do the same to my workshop.
Nah this nest in the thumbnail looked EXACTLY like the crying seal from those meme videos bruh
It is very easy to remove such a nest yourself. Get a workshop vacuum cleaner, mount the inlet 2 inches away from the entrance of the nest and let it run for a couple of hours sucking up every incoming and outgoing wasp. The wasps don't realize they are under attack and stay calm. And when the nest is fully depopulated, you can remove it without danger. I did this already three times this year.
how do you remove them from the vaccum cleaner, i'd imagine that to be a nightmare.
@@TTerribleK They are dead inside. Maybe they don't even survive travelling through the hose. So we are just talking about emptying a shop vac here.
@@jackmclane1826 Yeah, and if you want to play it safe, just spray some chemical into the removable dust bag to make sure they die in there.
@@tatskamaster Not necessary in my experience. But won't hurt much either...
Mount the inlet two inches away from the inlet of the nest?
Uh......No.
Subbed, great video
I just wait for night get the ol can of 30' black flag wasp and bee, soak it down and do clean up of the nest next morning, NP.
I’m going to do your method tonight
Gave me the chills when you grabbed it with your hand 😭
Would a CO2 fire extinguisher work? Wouldn't it just freeze them?
Miss your videos
Do you remove Honeybees as well?
Could you do this at night while they are dormant and avoid the use of chemicals?
0:45 - Spotted Lantern Fly just chillin next to the giant hornet nest 💀
I find hornets to be fairly scary but they have never bothered me like wasps do, wasps seem more curious and a bit more aggressive than hornets. I find that a hornet will fly into an area and make a much larger buzzing sound than a wasp. That could be more scary for most, but then the hornet usually just flies away while the wasp seems to hang around.
Hornets are really peaceful. I have a nest every year in my roof. You are a killer, shame on you!
HORNETS ARE WASPS
Grosses Larves dans ce nid Bravo😊🎉❤
Good ole Downingtown PA home of Victory brewing acorn lane been there.
I was wondering....if you leave the nest and just live your daily life, would they ignore humans or still attack?
Still attack. If you are close enough to them. And you really do not have to be next to the nest to be stung. The only time I have ever been stung was inside my home.
They won't bother with you if you don't fuss with them. I've had one about 20 feet up in a tree year after year for the last ten or so years. Get the occasional wasp buzzing around your head but for the most part they don't bother anyone. I just worry about my dogs agitating them somehow, barking might trigger them, who knows. So far no issues, knock on wood...
Wow. My peppermint oil comment got deleted. Hornets hate the smell of peppermint and honeygrass essential oils, will not build nest there. Just put some on a folded up napkin or paper towel and hang it where they have had hives.
🎉awesome
Just went through this 2 weeks ago. I used a hornet kill spray from HD. I’d saturated the nest a few times a day for about 3 days. At that point the little buggers give up on the nest.
Let me guess, Copenhagen Wintergreen? Also you are so southeastern PA it hurts.
Am i the only one thinking it looks like a really cute seal at the start?? 😂😂
Some sort of animal, overdue for a trip to the groomer.
🐐
I thought the thumbnail was a cute Seal!
I always see hornets and wasps removing wood from my fence. Interesting how they bite off a row of wood. I guess there nest is pressure treated. 😁
Gros nid de frelons Felicitations BRAVO dangereux❤😊🎉
FLYYY 🦅🦅🦅FLYYY!
Who else saw the smile
sometimes i feel bad for the bees, imagine having some thing you worked on for a long time just scraped off and seeing it gone like that must suck
these ain’t bees. these things fucking suck and deserve to be burned
Ever been stung by one!?!?!
@@italishgirl5601 thats just self defense
@@wanwood360 I’ll take that as a no….Lol. I have! In the eyelid…. I hurt like hell and swelled shut. It took steroids, antibiotics and antihistamines to recover
@@italishgirl5601 i have and ive taken a college class on bees whenever they feel threatened they attack, like most other bugs.
What do you mean it's impossible to get rid of the whole nest? Hot Soapy Water will Remove it & a Pressure Washer & if still need some use Chlorine & Hot Water then Rinse It!!
Probably a little soap & water on a brillo pad would remove the “ring of death”.
Simple Green undiluted.
How much did you charge to remove that nest?
I'd imagine a hundred bucks should get someone out to do it. Maybe 200 at the very most. Depends on your local economy. Probably best to call around to local guys.
I'd just burn the house down and start fresh. Once a hornet nest that size pops up, the house has served its purpose and must be replaced. 😂
@@since1876 guess again. I called a company and they wanted 250. I did it myself for 8 bucks.
@@kevinmach730 might depend on where you live though...
@@kevinmach730 lol 250!!.. you can buy a lot of Black Flag wasp and bee spray for that, what a joke
@@user-zw7sl9ou6q I'm with ya man. I sprayed one a few times at our cottage and I'd have to leave right after, and they kept coming back. We're in the process of moving in our main home, and started to ask myself if I wanted to battle this all Summer with everything else going on, and looked into paying to get it done. Our cottage is a rural area and the prices are often cheaper for services like that. I was prepared for 150 or even 200, but when I was told 250 my reaction was the same as yours. Not happening. One more application of the foaming spray took care of it and I don't think it cost 8 bucks for two cans. Kind of sad they are charing old ladies and people with allergies or fear of wasps that kind of money to do something that takes less than an hour with travel time included.
Are you chewing dip while making a video?
Easy peasy. .
Can you just put an M80 in it?
LOL! I did that with a buddy of mine 25 years ago. It worked great! I am a little older now and can't run as fast. Believe me. It was epic. We still talk about it.
Flying buttresses for a hornet cathedral.
The nests hornets make are quite beautiful looking. Regardless, I’ll stay as far away as possible from these evil acting things. 😊
Shows how amazing nature is.
Just use power washer
They're 20' in the air, no threat, why kill them?
Is this a joke who is going to stand in front of the Hornets nest and stick that thing in the hole? You’re gonna be stung beyond belief.
You have to wear a bee suit. I’d love to get one and destroy these guys nests all day
@@Adabulldoya don't bother, this fool obviously didn't even watch the video.
They are Borg. They have that hive mentality.
Like Progressives
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
Why does this nest look like a cock-eyed seal pup?
Could’ve waited until frost to remove it. They are beneficial insects and they posed no threat from that height.
Dude, that was a huge nest. I am fairly sure you're not qualified to comment and what is and isn't a threat based on height. And they're really only beneficial to agricultural areas, not under the eaves on someone's suburban house.
@@kevinmach730 listen DUDE. I have kept bees for over twenty years and have been a swarm collector/bee removal for over ten. I have a bald-faced hornet nest much larger than this one on the side of my barn that is EIGHT FEET off the ground. They are not aggressive unless harassed. Keep your opinions to yourself unless you know what the f you’re talking about!
@@DdD-pi8jw Nah fuck em, burn them to the ground.
@@DdD-pi8jw These are not bees, these are wasps. I don't need to be a BEE keeper to know how WASPS behave when I have to deal with them on my property every Summer. I didn't say there were always aggressive, but more important than height depends on the traffic in the area relative to the home. I have had nests in areas on structures where there weren't in places anyone frequented by anyone and I let them be. This looks like it was near the entrance to a residence. And it's fine for you to say I don't know what I am talking about, but the guy in the video removing them seemed think that 20 feet in it's current location was an issue.
@@kevinmach730 I refuse to argue with an idiot, but I would just suggest that the man who made the video not only made money on the video itself, (while trying to obtain street cred from TH-camrs like you), but made money from the homeowners by removing the nest that they had been convinced contained killer bees that we’re going to destroy them.
What’s humorous is that it’s people like you and the man who made the video who constantly scream about humanity destroying the environment and the planet. 🙄
You do your thing, I’ll do mine.
Désinfecter l'endroit apres❤
These aren't hornets, they're wasps...
Aww it looks like a baby seal ......but don't pet it
amazing am here in pa swear there more bugs then people why the hell don't they spray like crop dust do it over night when people are a sleep
That nest looks like a fish head.
Just casually pushing it around after bare handed. You’re cut from a different cloth sir.
Why must you kill them? Isn't there a way to capture them and move them somewhere else like what is done with bees?
Because they're vermin. Disgusting, vile and disruptive little beasts.
I have one of these nests in the tree in front of my house. It’s now bigger then a basketball. I have this urge to remove it with my weed burning torch…
If it's that big you'd better get a exterminator! You can die from many hornet stings.
why dont you do relocation of the next
For what reason? Those things sre nasty!
@@euonymus1980 they are natures pest control patrol
Destroy them!! How About if we RELOCATE that nest in your Pants!🤬🤬🤬
@@popsfashions309 the class clown has arrived
@@PEB2631 , Yes you are a Clown and must be idiot too.. YOU KILL PEST, NOT RELOCATE THEM!.
Hornet’s are the worst! Pack a punch & make you swell more! (So I’ve heard from other pest control videos!)
I’d use foaming wasp/hornet spray into the hole! Then Drench the outside with some strong solvent around the outer! Lol! Ammonia, brake cleaner carb cleaner gas or alcohol…. Kerosene u name it! Fumes soak inside & kill them off!?
Place a large bucket on the ground for them to fall in…. Nest & all!
Sorry! I don’t like them around my living quarters! They can make a nest in the woods & forest all they want! I jus pray I don’t unexpectedly walk into their territory…. That’s where I respect them! (I understand they have a right to live!)….. jus not near me!!!!
I always love when I show up to a client's house and I see the oven or brake cleaner out! Thanks for watching!
I was stung twice by hornets a couple weeks ago while trying to take down a nest on my tool shed. It was about 8 feet off the ground. They came chasing after me after I sprayed the nest, and got me on my ear and neck. Just two stings. I came quickly into the house and cleaned the two areas with soap and water, then used an ice pack to keep swelling down. Luckily, I had hardly no swelling and pain went away after about 15 minutes or so.
Dude, how can you record an audio while chewing gum with your mouth open, tv in the background, people laughing... WTF dude
hes chewing and spitting the juice out. not the best etiquette for laying audio over a video
What about al the 100s of pissed of hornets that were out of the nest. A professional would know enough to remove them at night when they are all home.
You need to educate yourself, which sounds like quite a task in your case. The wasps outside the nest will not attack you. While they do recommend doing at night or dusk, this guy is doing this as a business and can't just do a single client a day. And generally, when the nest is gone, they don't come back to that same area. If they do, well you just need to do it again
You sir are a murderer. How dare you kill those beautiful hornets….Just remember god doesn’t like ugly. RIP to those little Hornets 🙏🏼
Killing them with fire is safe, effective, and fun!
Murder it’s murder I say arrest that man lol
Where does the Queen live, in the hive?
Yes, in the hive otherwise she would be homeless.
@@dinkyman8591 No, I meant geographically in the hive. Dead center?
At first glance without reading the title I thought it was some type of seashell or rock formation. That being a Hornets nest is both amazing and terrifying. I hope to only ever see that on TH-cam and since I live about 45 minutes from Downingtown "Shout out to Miles Teller's hometown, Hopefully the new Bruce Wayne/ Batman" ... It'd be great to Have two local hometown guys as the face of the NEW DCU . With David Corenswet as Superman already,we now need Miles Teller as the new Batman.
Horrible little fookers 😮
😅 For sure!
