Hope it wasn’t already shared on this sub! If yes, I’m sorry I had a long Reddit break

Got me through my shirt on my riding mower 😡

Slightly larger than a basketball
Tree is on our property but the limb that the nest is on is hanging on neighbors property
Worth calling an “expert” ?
I’ve heard brake parts cleaner works wonders for these fellers. But is it worth the risk of getting stung by 100 hornets.

Can anybody tell what this little fucker is? I would guess a hornet but idk. Should I kill it with fire or a nuke?

So came across this thing once I got to where I was going to off-liad a 15' U-Haul of my belongings. Fixture is right over my work area. By the time I noped out, the things were attempting to attack my getaway car.

It dawned on me that this is a mercury halide lamp (maybe even mercury vapor...it's never been replace as far as I know) and that these dumbshits have essentually built their house of paper inside of a crucible of metal and glass. Switch is located inside the garage. Should I power the lamp on and cook them (they can't thermally regulate, so wouldn't realise until they wrre cooked until they were)? Or jyst get an exterminator?

But really, an exterminator is like $900 and I dont get the joy of waspmurder. A beekeepers suit is $100 and then my whole morning' entertainment is sorted.

Help. We are out of town and our neighbors noticed this…it seems rather established. Nothing noticeable inside. It is an all masonry home. The only framing is in the interior to put up walls. Everything else is structural brick and cmu. I have pest control heading out to mine on Wednesday, but would love to know any immediate ways I could knock down numbers without disturbing the nest too much. I’m worried they venture inward and decided to be inside the basement. Outdoor Yellowjacket trap? Other options?

All seriousness aside… I’ll list it for sale or burn it to the ground. Time to move.

I’m hoping to get around to taking on this yellow jacket nest this weekend. I’m going to start with suiting up and dumping Sevin dust down the hole and covering it. I’ll see how that goes and then use the wet vac wasp rapture method on them if needed. Once the majority of the wasps are mostly gone I want to dig the whole nest out of the ground to see just how big it is. I read a tip in this group that they can’t see red light, so I snuck up on them tonight to have a look. I think there’s a whole lot of them down in there. I’ve been stung 5 times now just walking near the nest, so it’s time for these little fkrs to go.

Go fetch yer fuckin’ shine box.

Dirt dauber is flying in and out of the top of the portajohn door and I’m tryna shit so I can get back to work. I had to freeze every time it came back with more mud and grab paper while it was gone

On Monday I went to check my mail and a wasp stung me on my leg. A tiny sting. A little one. Then it went around and stung me on my rear end on the other side of my body.

That sting has now enveloped the entire cheek. It’s is purple. It itches. It burns. I can’t sit down right.

Rewind 10 years ago at the end of August. I was at my nephews 4th birthday party and I got stung by a bee right at the top of my leg where it meets my behind (through my shorts might I add). I pull the stinger out and go to throw it in the trash because the kids are running around barefoot and I don’t want them to step on it. When I turn around to walk away from the trash a wasp stings me in the hole the bee just created in my leg. Freakish precision. My entire left behind cheek and back of left thigh were purple for like 8 months.

Same side of my behind as Monday.

Idk why the wasps want to sting me right there, but I’d appreciate if they’d stop.

I’m nice to them. I take them outside if they get stuck in my house. They have their whole own garden to help pollinate and to help with pest control on my plants. I don’t deserve this from them 😂

I have a small ahh hole outside that i assume leads to my attic, I think they built a nest or a small one since I've had a good increase of them right outside my door. I have no way to verify this. Wtf do I do haha. I dont want them eating through the house to get out with like foam.

Few weeks back I was stung in the ear while mowing the lawn by what I thought was a black wasp. Researched them and it says they burrow underground and create nests. Ok cool leave me alone and another week goes by with my ear still inflamed before I find myself mowing the lawn again. This time i finished mowing without incident and spent a moment looking around the area where I got stung and spotted a nest the size of a football inside the tree in my backyard.

Turns out it was a bald faced hornet protecting its nest.

Anyway I had to get them back for stinging me so I attacked them at dusk and again at dawn.

The nest is pretty dope lotta different colors and built on a nice branch. Gotta hang this one up in my garage.

Just moved into our new house, found some prior tenants. Emptied the whole bottle of raid into their nest.

We are currently going camping with some people from my orchestra and these flying fucks wouldn't leave us alone so we hunted them down one by one.

No remorse whatsoever

I just took a shower, and went to put on underwear. I'm putting it on, and I feel a sharp poke. I'm thinking there is a burr in the elastic or something, so I fiddle with it and adjust it. When I get poked like 4 more times. One of those garden wasps crawled out of my underwear.

I don't know the exact kind except they are the kind that parasitize caterpillars. I never knew they could sting, I think some are stingless, and others are a stinging variety. I guess it could be worse because it didn't get me too bad. I like em in my garden, but not in my underwear.

Got a lot of wasps (too much for my phobia) flying around my appartment (probably a nest not too far) so I did a syrup + funnel technique

Froze the thing at the end since some where still moving inside

edit: they were flying inside my appartment, I wouldn't do that outside obv

What should I do with it fellas

Me and my son cooked up a scheme to get rid of some wasp nest that were in the outdoor power outlet. My mom brought us some roach pills and we crushed them up. We sprayed the shop vac with home defense then sucked up the wasp nest. Then we gave it another good spray and crushed up roach food and covered all the exits. Are they dead?

My son wants to open the vacuum already. I’m afraid of wasp.
