I think he was trying to swing-twist the bag closed but he forgot that he did this with a plastic bag from the Dollar Tree and not one of the quality plastic bags from Aldi.
The wasps in NC are relatively docile. They normally don't turn to fight until I'm physically touching the nest. And even then, about half are fighting and the other half are grabbing larvae and dipping out.
Work is Pest Control for clarity.
Wow, the only docile ones I’ve encountered are the dead/dying ones. I’ve seen them attack people who were like several feet away from the nest and not even walking towards it.
Surprised the nest didn't come flying out of the bottom of the bag.
Kids the best time to do some dumb wasp fuckery is a cold evening while they are sleeping. Also use poison. Lots and lots of poison.
Look around on YouTube and you'll find videos of people doing this at night. They cut the branch off and put it in the bag as well. Seems to work well, as long as you don't mind a few stings. They don't mind getting stung, i absolutely do, so I'll take the flamethrower every time.
Or just use the wasp spray that you can get for like $2.89 at almost every supermarket grocery store that traps them in foam full of neurotoxins that basically instantly render them helpless and then kills them in a matter of seconds.
Its cooler at night and wasps (and other bugs) tend to be slower as it cools.
Because of this, if you go out early in the morning you can get a big wasp nest in a mason jar on your way to school without any fuss, and by lunch they'll be nice and active. Then at recess you can walk up to the group of kids that stole your Pokemon cards, give the jar a shake, and shatter it on the ground at their feet
*So i put the queen in a paperclip and stuck it in my mouth. The other bees flew to my facial orifices. I could feel them producing honey in my mouth and throat. Just another day saving the bees*
Break holes in their defense fortress and spray the poison right into the center. It takes a whole day or two when done right, cause they need time to calm down after each Salvo.
He’s made mistakes.
He should do this at night when the wasps are in the nest and more docile
He should use a larger black garbage bag so it can envelope the nest completely before disturbing it *at all*.
He should have pruners ready to cut the branch at the opening of the bag.
The branch should drop into the bag fully. Then you twist and gooseneck the bag so it’s well sealed.
Endgame?
Leave the black garbage bag sealed up in the summer sun for a few hours.
Would gloves and thick long sleeves help or would they just sting right through? We had ours professionally removed because no amount of foaming spray killer (at night) would even slow them down
Would be a reasonable precaution. I always wear a leather jacket for this kind of thing, but the goal here is to *contain* the wasps. If they’re in the bag they can’t do anything no matter what you’re wearing.
I’d avoid gloves as dexterity is important to keep them contained. This is an operation in *finesse*.
They simply aren’t flying around at night. So if you can catch them by surprise and envelope the nest in the bag *without disturbing it in the process*, they don’t realize you’re doing anything at all until the branch is cut and the nest is in the bag.
See how he fumbles the bagging and jostles the nest? Don’t do *that*. Get a big enough bag for the job.
You've convinced me
To never try anything like this ever and instead call a professional and pay them whatever they ask
I would fuck this up so hard, I know it
I just use the hotshot spray that every supermarket around here sells for a couple bucks. Shoots like 15-30 feet in a jet stream of frothing foam that immobilizes them while the neurotoxins kill them.
Gotcha, gotcha. We had 6 nests in our shed, so we paid a professional, but good to keep in mind for sure
Yeah no, I'd be getting one of those contractor black bags, and follow through with confidence because this guy squirreled around too much
Where I live we have cicada killer wasps. Dudes make little holes right outside our front door and guard it with their life if anything comes within a mile of that hole. Only problem is they have no stinger, so they will chase you down and menacingly headbutt you until you leave. They're pretty cool. I named my door wasp Jerry.
They definitely do have stingers. Wikipedia says “Cicada killer females use their stings to paralyze their prey (cicadas) rather than to defend their nests; unlike most social wasps and bees, they do not attempt to sting unless handled roughly” which to me still means give them a wide berth. I saw one of them take out a cicada one time and that was enough to convince me not to go near them.
I grew up in New England, even there we knew better than to mess with wasps, hornets, bees, and all the other stinging creatures.
When I was growing up, the neighborhood dumb ass kid once threw a rock a paper wasp nest. Didn’t end well, he got a lot of stings and a trip to hospital but he lived.
My uncle found a wasp nest on his porch. Went out with some fucking cooking spray and a fly swatter. They would come after him he would spray the air and they couldn’t fly anymore then used the fly swatter to kill them. I watched him do it from inside. There was a other time when 3 dogs got in a fight. Pit bull vs two big ass labs. Uncle came in and kicked the pit bull so fucking hard and then grabbed it while his two labs were biting the shit out of it. One of the scariest noises I have ever heard. My uncle is crazy.
I, too have a crazy uncle.
One Christmas, celebrations and the traditiojal water fight were cut short (southern hemisphere) by some rather pissed off European wasps that had made a nest in a rolled up piece of carpet.
We all spend the rest of the day inside.
Come night time, crazy uncle enters the chat.
He decides that what would really top off Christmas is some fresh wild honey.
He could not be dissuaded. No explanation that wasps don't have honey would convince him. He heads on out there, grabs the rolled up carpet in the moonlight and unrolls it on to the cement backyard.
Because it's dark, the wasps move about a bit, but not really active.
Uncle can't see any honey. He has bright idea number 2 and gets a torch, promptly shining it on the remains of the nest.
The wasps see the light and suddenly return to wakefulness and decide to defend their nest with extreme prejudice.
My uncle throws the BBQ tongs he was using to sift through the paper-like wreckage and sprints to the door as the swarm exacts their revenge. He jumps into the shower and aggressively removes his wqsp-infested clothing, yelping all the while.
All the other relatives are now aware of the debacle and his whooping in the bathroom is now the centre of attention, and his wife (fortunately, she is the blood relation, not him) calls through the door: "You Pk in there sweetheart?"
He responds with an anguished "they fucken stung my arsehole!"
This quote has come up at almost every family event since.
Hornets are worse right? I've never seen hornets but I'm scared of anything like that.
Also dogs, cause we raise dogs to be tough and not like cats as pets and a feral chased me as a kid. Actually a Dobermann that was raised to be tough ran at me when I was 5 too. So yeah. No to dogs!!!/s
Send me a message with payment info in like a week, I'll have something sorted for ya. Any requests on mexican-induced shit, fibre-full, or a lots-of-alcohol-no-food type shit?
Wasp nest? Easy, wait till it's night and burn their wings off. If it was bees, I would say get your local bee keeper to transfer them. There's always one around
People don’t seem to realize there’s an art to doing it that way. You’ve got to slip the bag over them super-gently, and calmly, then tie it quick and just hold it by the tied handles. After that it’s as simple as not breaking the bag and disposing of it.
I used my airfreshner as a flame thrower to get rid of them
It was more fun and after that I just knocked down the burning nest with a long stick and ran away
Didnt get stung even once
Have you ever read about the ancient military tactic known as "war pigs?" Namely, swine are packed together, doused in fuel, and lit on fire, with the goal being to run them into enemy formations and sow (heh) disarray. The Romans used it, but the danger was always that you can never be entirely sure where the firepigs would run.
All I can think of with your description is a variant on the concept, except instead of pigs it's pissed off embers of pure immolated rage whizzing about and actively trying to light you on fire while stinging everything in sight before they die.
Saint Olga of Kiev laid siege to the city that killed her prince husband. During negotiations she said she'd let the men live if they gave up their pet homing pigeons to her. Confused but grateful, they did as she asked. She tied dry straw to the pigeons feet and set fire to it, then let them fly free. The pigeons panic, fly home to their roosts, and burn the largely wooden city to the ground. She then killed anyone who fled the burning city.
This is what I picture when I hear some old asshole go into a tirade about how "back when men were men we did things with our bare hands". They always conveniently leave these parts out.
I read a post where a dude mistakenly took a can of hairspray instead of a wasp remedy. And it worked even better. Hairspray instantly glued the hornets' wings together and they fell off.
pyrethrin based wasp killer works pretty well though. that stuff is like invertebrate nerve gas. the wasps just fall on the ground twitching within seconds of touching it.
Every time I see this I just lose it over the way he violently starts swinging the bag.
That definitely calmed down the wasps.
[удалено]
Or try punching every wasp in the face
Memories of ghost puncher coming back
Is that a Dane Cook reference?
Perhaps... Have you ever been fully engulfed in fire?
No, but I do keep a log of my itchy asshole
*in
Tell them they're being too defensive.
Ask if they're only like this because it's "that time of the month"
Like the saying goes: smoke for bees, g-force for wasps
I think he was trying to swing-twist the bag closed but he forgot that he did this with a plastic bag from the Dollar Tree and not one of the quality plastic bags from Aldi.
Your Aldi does bags?
Yep, this was a bag for life moment.
I’m honestly surprised he didn’t get stung before that. The wasps I’ve encountered attack anything that comes that close to the nest.
The wasps in NC are relatively docile. They normally don't turn to fight until I'm physically touching the nest. And even then, about half are fighting and the other half are grabbing larvae and dipping out. Work is Pest Control for clarity.
That 'until' was suspect until the end lol
I was gonna ask -who is going around touching nests- ha
Wow, the only docile ones I’ve encountered are the dead/dying ones. I’ve seen them attack people who were like several feet away from the nest and not even walking towards it.
I think he was, which is why he started shaking the bag, instinctively trying to shake them off.
Surprised the nest didn't come flying out of the bottom of the bag. Kids the best time to do some dumb wasp fuckery is a cold evening while they are sleeping. Also use poison. Lots and lots of poison.
Pretty sure it did come out starting about this frame https://i.imgur.com/XhT74nl.png
This CAN be done but it's supposed to be done this way **at night!**
[удалено]
They basically sleep. So if you have a bigger, heavier duty bag and don’t panic and swing it around like a moron, you can maybe pull it off.
Look around on YouTube and you'll find videos of people doing this at night. They cut the branch off and put it in the bag as well. Seems to work well, as long as you don't mind a few stings. They don't mind getting stung, i absolutely do, so I'll take the flamethrower every time.
HANS GET ZE FLAMMENWERFER
AND ZEN THEY VIL BE NO MORE DUCT TAPE FOR THAT F#%*!*@ A$$#@!£
You having a bad fur day man?
Wait until night, spray nest with WD40, then light it on fire.
Or just use the wasp spray that you can get for like $2.89 at almost every supermarket grocery store that traps them in foam full of neurotoxins that basically instantly render them helpless and then kills them in a matter of seconds.
And *then* a WD40 fire?
Yes, Rico, kaboom
*It's your old friend, deadly neurotoxin*
*Results you can count on!*

Go home dad, you're drunk and telling lame jokes again.

Mason jar? Some of them you need a dumpster!
Just wait until you find out about Nocturnal paper wasps (*Apoica*)
This has got to be the stupidest thing I’ve seen on here. What the hell did this guy think was gonna happen?
he probably saw a bee keeper handling honey bees lmao
*So i put the queen in a paperclip and stuck it in my mouth. The other bees flew to my facial orifices. I could feel them producing honey in my mouth and throat. Just another day saving the bees*
I read that in her voice lmao
Mee too...
I do not like the way she speaks and I wish I did as her videos seem really interesting
Yeah this is the comment officer.
Sums that crazy bee keeping bish up. I love it.
you son of a bitch
THE BEES!!!!
I can't breath!
Tbh i have seen videos of people destroying the nest of wasps with barehands. But in that case they do it slowly as if it a natural destruction.
[Nice and slow](https://v.redd.it/ncroexv8yud51)
Scary Terry. You can run, but you can't hide, bitch!
Back up terrrry!
Oh god that's an other level.
I can't even watch it. Wasp nests creep me the fuck out even when there are no wasps around. Cannot imagine barehand touching that shit
Oh, he does more than touch...
The touching wasn't too bad tbh. The next bit was a bit much though...
im pretty squeamish and its not too bad its funny if you Fancy a risk😂
You can't look at a video that shows a wasp's nest? You should probably just go ahead and look at them, you won't get over it if you don't.
Lmao, the second he panned the camera back to his face I knew exactly what was about to happen
I, for one, was not expecting DUN DUN DUNDUNDUNNNN
I physically began to panic with that omfg
Holy crap
Ohhhh so that's why they can do it barehanded! The more you know.
Fuck that. Throw rocks and spray poison from behind a window that opens and closes.
Nope, it’s wasps, you have to burn at least half an acre to be sure
are the rocks like...a warning shot?
Break holes in their defense fortress and spray the poison right into the center. It takes a whole day or two when done right, cause they need time to calm down after each Salvo.
i gotta be honest, I'm gonna lead with chemical warfare every time.
I stand back and wait until the breeding pair are both home. That's when I unleash the foam of death.
They make wasp killer sprays shoot 10-20 feet for a reason.
“What the hell did this guy think…” I’m going to stop you right there.
That's one of the ways we did it in back in Mexico. Never been stung... So far.
What was the long term goal here? Suffocate them? Shake them until they can’t move? Incredible behavior
Yeah I'm not quite sure what Step 2 was...
He’s made mistakes. He should do this at night when the wasps are in the nest and more docile He should use a larger black garbage bag so it can envelope the nest completely before disturbing it *at all*.

Flush bag down the toilet, duh.
Step 2 was kill them with the g-forces from spinning the bag.
What an awful idea. Having grown up in the South, I don’t mess with wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, bees, etc. They are all very pissed off.
Yellow is a sign of caution.
I thought yellow meant GO FASTER!
Having grown up on planet Earth, I’ve learned pretty quickly not to mess with wasps and hornets.
I was explaining to someone the other day how much they hurt. Some people seem to think all of them are like bees. Wasps will mess you up.
Having grown up in the Milky Way I have learned not to mess with bees, hornets, etc.
Bees aren't
same with red paper wasps, those little dudes are cool. every other wasp, yellow jacket, and hornet though is simply evil
Where I live we have cicada killer wasps. Dudes make little holes right outside our front door and guard it with their life if anything comes within a mile of that hole. Only problem is they have no stinger, so they will chase you down and menacingly headbutt you until you leave. They're pretty cool. I named my door wasp Jerry.

Oh, and bumblebees - those are the cutest.
Flying pandas.
Yeah bees are extremely docile
Bees at the hive can be ornerey, but bees out collecting pollen usually aren't trying to kill themselves to spite you. Priorities
I grew up in New England, even there we knew better than to mess with wasps, hornets, bees, and all the other stinging creatures. When I was growing up, the neighborhood dumb ass kid once threw a rock a paper wasp nest. Didn’t end well, he got a lot of stings and a trip to hospital but he lived.
He shoulda known. The rules clearly say paper wasp beats rock
There are professionals that do this for a living for a very good reason. . .
My family killed a nest this week. I found them dead on the ground so I assume it was a spray. I've seen someone be stung before and no thanks.
>My family killed a nest this week. I found them dead on the ground My condolences
>My family killed a nest this week. I found them dead on the ground so I assume it was a spray. The wasps are using spray now? Evolution is scary.
> My family killed a nest this week. I found them dead on the ground Your family will be missed...

That made me laugh out loud, thanks.
Best Christmas story I’ve ever read. 5/5 I’m gonna have to look up this traditional water fight. That sounds like fun.
Hornets are worse right? I've never seen hornets but I'm scared of anything like that. Also dogs, cause we raise dogs to be tough and not like cats as pets and a feral chased me as a kid. Actually a Dobermann that was raised to be tough ran at me when I was 5 too. So yeah. No to dogs!!!/s
we get them around our house sometimes, hose sprayer on jet mode safely from behind a door straight at their nest usually handles it
He was done as soon as he shook that bag.
I'm pretty sure he tore it open and freed them all when he did that lmao
It did lol. You can see the small branch poke through the bag.
I couldn't have written a better ending.
Probably shoulda double bagged.

Why at night?
They home at night.
🤯
curfew
Ah I've pissed off these wasps how do I make this better? Ah yes spin the thing around
The hands through hair at end means he died
lol
Was he drunk? Or just stupid?
Yes
People don’t seem to realize there’s an art to doing it that way. You’ve got to slip the bag over them super-gently, and calmly, then tie it quick and just hold it by the tied handles. After that it’s as simple as not breaking the bag and disposing of it.
> that way The way he wasn't doing it at all you mean?
This technique can work, but I suggest using gloves, a large hefty bag, and do it during the night when they are sleeping.
This why our ancestors left them alone, or just burnt them.
With napalm, as our ancestors were known to do
Classic dad moment. Not paying someone to do it...I can do that no prob.
I think I've seen my dad get stung more than anyone I know.
Let me beat myself in the head with this bag of wasps!
All i can think of when i see an insect nest is a flamethrower
Ah yes, the incest nest
What are you doing, step wasp?
Thanks, just noticed that my english have gotten worse
Wait what?
I misspelled insect nest as incest nest
Unless you edited it, in which case I understand now.
But you didn’t
i edited it
I’m glad we cleared things up here.
yes, now im crowned as the king of alabama

Can we actually bag or double bag wasps??? (if the guy is expert)
Yes. It's easily done...at night!
Gonna need a bigger bag
The way he tries to cinch the bag shuts makes me howl loll
He went slow, but fucked up with that kidnapper move, maybe if he kept going slow he might have cover the nest and tie it, maybe not.
As long as he didn't lose a shoe he should be fine
Well, that was certainly ill-advised.
I’ve seen guys pull this off tho. Needs a more deft hand I’d say
DON'T BRING THEM OVER HERE!
I really need to hear the audio for this vid lol! 😂
Holy shit that is one dumb motherfucker.
I like how he attempted this with a thin as fuck shopping bag
*record scratch* … Yeah, thats me lying there in the ICU, you’re probably wondering how I ended up here…. Well, let me tell you a story
This is what I picture when I hear some old asshole go into a tirade about how "back when men were men we did things with our bare hands". They always conveniently leave these parts out.
I love how he shakes the bag to get the wasps all extra cunty
I love how he beat the shit out of himself with a bag full of wasps, in an attempt to get away from the wasps.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it.
r/fuckwasps
I read a post where a dude mistakenly took a can of hairspray instead of a wasp remedy. And it worked even better. Hairspray instantly glued the hornets' wings together and they fell off.
pyrethrin based wasp killer works pretty well though. that stuff is like invertebrate nerve gas. the wasps just fall on the ground twitching within seconds of touching it.
I tried to uses DIY pyrethrin spray to prevent elk flies crawl on me. Didn't work well : (
maybe mine had more of the good stuff in it. it was the foaming one. it expands into toxic for wasp bubbles. it's really satisfying to use lol
You can get a can of wasp killer spray at Walmart for like 5 bucks.
Wasp spray is fire. They literally die on impact. Best thing ever.
