All you need is a 10 dollar bill, a full bottle of 409, and three 12 year old boys. Problem solved.

 

This is the nest in question. Some of you may be able to recognize what kind of bug it is from the nest. To me they are all the enemy so I don't really care what kind they are.

 

With a closed nest like that, I gotta add one important piece of advice. Make sure that when you spray it, you hit the opening FIRST and keep spraying the opening as long as the critters are still trying to get out. If you let them out unscathed, they will attack you. DO NOT let any of them get out alive and you won't get stung.

 

Dude, that little nest?? Jeez you should see some of the swamp wasp nests we get down here.

That little nest would get hairspray and a bic lighter. Burn baby Burn

 

Ahh cricky mate,
What we have here is a young hornets nest.
Over time as the colony grows this thing would grow to the size of a mans head or a little larger. The nest is made of a paper product that these guys sit and chew wood in thier mouths to make. Think of it like a big spit wad. Don't let the size of the nest fool yea mates. There can be 30 maybe 40 little hornets in there. Just one sting for a single one of these little guys will make you regret that you tangled with em'. much less if you **** them off and have 30-40 of them swarming you and stinging you repeatedly. Your best bet is to leave these little guys alone and wait until winter. But for those of us not smart enough stand here, I'll grab a can of brake cleaner and get rid of these pesky little buggers for yea.

G'day mates,
Steve

 

you will not believe this but its the truth...

get a pump sprayer from home cheapo or any hardware store

fill it with hot water and dishwashing soap

spray away

they have no chance

i swear it works..
had a problem with hornets under my dock..did not want to use poision near the water.. my brother watched a show on discovery channel one nite and said they used this to get rid of a huge nest in downtown manhattan and said to try it

i did and it works

they just drop
i would not put anyone at risk but its the way to go

...zap!

 

I had a small yellow jacket nest inside my driver side mirror, I'm allergic and it scared the living @$%! out of me!

 

Get a Maxwell House, or Folgers coffee can, fill it 80% full of gas, wait until early AM; then flick it on the nest... Soak 'em good...

1 or 2 may fall off, all may fall off, or none may fall off- it all depends- but one things for sure....

They'll all be dead...

It kills 'em so quick- they may not even fall...

 

AHHHH damn....Take the shed down to! Bon fire and kill the wasp at the same time, kill 2 birds with one stone

 

I've never seen a nest that looks like that... The nests we get here are flat, with a bunch of holes in it that the queens fills with larvae- and the rest guards with their lives..

If you catch them when they're small- you'l only have 1-2 wasps to deal with. But, if you don't look around your house, you could have one the sixe of a pie pan with about 60-80 wasps on it, if not more.

Yellow jackest are teh worse because they'll throw a nest anywhere. Most wasps preper the over-hang on a house, nestled into a corner to avoid rain, and easy visibility from birds. But- yellow jackets will put on flat against a wall, right on the grond, in the ground...

Ground wasps, hornets & bees are the worse... They're usually found when mowing the yard.

I'd just had a house built in Killeen and several other houses were being built around me. My winter-rye fescue mix has recently taken off and I had the prettiest green lawn you could imagine. I was about to go out and mow it when I heard a commotion in my back yard. I looked out the window and a bucnh of construction guys were all huddled at one house looking at another new house being built. I focused on what they were pointign at; and it was a swarm of bees that had collected over a light fixture on this other house...

There must've been 30,000 bees on that damn-thing. Most clinging, but some flying... I don't know if they were the Africanized Killer bees- which supposedly defend there hive up to 1/4 mile away (Unlike most bees that'll only defend within 20-30 feet.) If I'd started that mower, I'd have found out the hard-way... They called a bee-keeper and he came there with a box, and got them all inside the box, and went away.

That's the second time I've witnessed a bee swarm- the other time I was a child, and I was about to run through the swarm (thinking they were those little bugs that always swarm durign hot summer months in Louisiana). This older girls saw me start my run, and yelled for me to stop and come back- which I did- then she took me to my grandmother... That was bees too.

 

Plant a bug zapper next to them. It will provide entertainment for a little while.



We were a BBQ last year and one of the kids got stung a few times. Put a bug zapper next the nest, entertainment for an hour. Then we just flooded them with kerosine. Took care of them, and it was a huge yellow jacket nest.

 

yep, looks like hornets. Those nests can be fun; some duct tape over the hole at night can make some good entertainment.

 

You'll need about 20-30 sandbags.
Fill them with contents of a shallow depression you'll dig about 15 feet away.
Stack them around the depression forming a bunker.
Procure a helmet from an Army-Navy suplus store.
Get inside the bunker and chuck rocks at the nest while making 'bomb falling' noises.
Intensify simulated 'war sounds' as the battle progresses.

Have a Purple Heart ready in case you are stung.
Some advice:
All Purple Hearts look the same so if you are stung more than once, abandon your position (after rendering the appropiate bugle call).

While running cease with the 'war sounds' and proceed with making 'woman sounds'.

 

Send the wife in!!!

 

Buy some of that wasp/hornet spray and put a Hefty lawn garbage bag with a hole cut in it over your head, and duct tape the bottom of the bag to your waist/legs. Be sure to wear long pants, stand 10 feet away and saturate that nest with the stuff.

Be sure to clear evacuate the premises and warn the nieghbor's so they'll be safe and have enough time to grab thier video cameras.

BZZZZZZZZT!
