I made this trap the other day and caught 400 yellow jackets, 2 stray cats and my fat neighbor kid

Yellow jacket: Hey look all my friends are de- OOOH CHICKEN

The fact that you counted 800+ yellow jacket bodies for the video is dedication and focus. I thank you kind sir.

One of my preferred tactics when dealing with large hornet nests is to run in circles and in a high pitched voice, repeatedly yell, "Get em off me, get em off me"! Works every time...

My anxiety skyrocketed when he plunged his hand into the pile of dead yellow jackets

you haven't lived until you've pushed a lawn mower over a yellow jacket nest without realizing it

I visually recoiled when this man plunged his BARE HAND into a pile of yellow jackets.

The most effective way I've found to destroy the nest is to pour sand in the entrance and then spray the sand with the wasp spray. If you just spray down the hole, only some of them get hit and they all come out. If you pour the sand over the hole, you've trapped them and once the spray is on the sand, they'll be poisoned as they try to dig their way back out. Just make sure it isn't going to rain.

Wasp:I just saw 700 of my brothers and sisters try and take the meat and drown in the water!!! better do the exact same thing they did

"these bees are very aggresive" *has a whole nest of wasp around him*

Never expected to see a Yellow Jackets nest dug up in the daytime by hand! Well done.

I just tried this AMAZING trap in Greece. 200 wasps in 2 hrs, and counting. In my case, I also consider wind as a game-changer: Once I moved the trap to a place with just some wind, almost no wasp made it out of the trap (vs in a quiet place I initially placed it). I was also very impressed by how quickly they were drowned; in just 5 seconds the were already dead!

When you scooped up the dead yellowjackets, I thought you were going to start eating them like popcorn.

I did NOT know that yellow jackets eat meat

Someone ought to make an edit of this vid where whenever a yellowjacket falls in the water you hear muffled screaming for a few seconds while they die

To those dislikers. You guys are heartless. And this is a tutorial on how to protect you and your loved ones from yellow jackets. Keep it going Shawn Woods.

Wasp : I can't swim Literally everyone : Good

Nine hundred seventy seven yellow jackets killed...and not one of them escaped being fondled.

DYI Trap really works. Killed 2-3000 in 2 days. Numbers traped tanked on 3rd day, almost none day 4. I think larve yellow jackets are not fed and dying and the nest has collapsed. Very satisfied. Will keep it going.

I want to set up this trap at my son’s school - he was stung a few weeks ago by some very aggressive yellow jackets going after his lunch. I think this is a great little project for kids. Thanks Shaun!!!

Him: grabs a handful of dead yellow jackets Me: *nearly vomits*

Wow! I have to say, when you scooped up a handful of dead yellow jackets like they were a bunch of pieces of popcorn or something, I got the heebie jeebies.

Thanks Shawn. Very satisfying. Most bees are mellow and of course very beneficial. Yellowjackets have ruined many a relaxing outdoor cocktail hour. They're punks and it's great to see them dealt with. I've used the PIC trap and it worked pretty well with just apple juice but your homemade trap seemed to be nuclear winter for them.

These easy to make traps are a great idea and very helpful. Surprised there aren’t more channels like this, but this gentleman is doing a great job.

"We're getting close. They're really aggressive." As he is plunging into their nest with a shovel.

After having been stung multiple times by yellow jackets this afternoon, this video is so incredibly satisfying

Awesome job. I had a yellow jacket nest in the bank behind my farm shed here in Tasmania. I tried several attempts to trap them using coke bottle traps baited with honey and lamb mince with minimal success ( 3-4 a day in each trap). In the end I made a mix of 2L of 50:1 two stroke mix, and 3L of diesel that I had been soaking parts in when servicing my excavator ( about 50ml each of old grease and oil) and used an old weed sprayer to spray the fuel mix into the several entrance holes to the nest. At 10pm ( about 2hours after sunset when all the buggers were in the nest) I then sprayed a trail about 5m away and lit it with a blowtorch. The fire burned in, and after a few seconds it went off like a cannon showering burning yellow jackets and other crud about 8m out from the holes. Was a beautiful sight. I’ll have to film it if I need to do it again. My hot tip to avoid being attacked when destroying the nest is to do it at night.

Now, this is how a video is supposed to be with real live presentations. Well done Sir! God bless

Now display their tiny little heads on toothpicks, as a warning to the others. Shawn the Impaler is not to be trifled with!

_Step:_ 1. Locate the hole 2. Pour molten lead into the hole 3. Dig out your masterpiece 4. Clean it and sell it on eBay 5. Profit $$$

Friend and I when we were like 14 went to the creek by our house, stepped on a ground hornet (yellow jacket) nest....we almost died no joke. Stung like 40 times each. Meat tenderizer paste works wonders to draw the venom out!

Years ago, I mowed over a nest without knowing... then I knew! Left the mower to run till it ran out of gas. Hymenoptera mostly come back to the nest at dusk. Pour about a quart of gasoline in the hole and cover till morning. The fumes will completely eliminate them.

A good wasp is a *D E A D* wasp

Meat traps might be really good since honeybees will ignore them You wouldn't wanna accidently kill a Bee

RU-vid recommended Video: "Hey you wanna watch some hornets and wasps get rekt?" Me: I guess soo

This probably sounds sick but the yellow jackets drowning was just so satisfying-

"We've destroyed their nest. They'll never forget that, let alone forgive it. And the survivors of a nest learn, become smarter." As he spoke, he casually raised the club still covered in wasp remains. "There is no reason to let them live." "Even if there was...a good wasp?" "A good wasp?" He exhaled in a way that suggested that he was truly mystified by the idea. "There might be...if we looked, but..." He said nothing for a long moment. Then he spoke. "The only good wasps are the ones that never come out of their holes."

"Hey Shawn, whacha doin?" "Counting dead wasps."

Trap: "What did it cost?" Yellow jacket: "Everything."

Thank you so much for this!! I watched this video of yours maybe 5-10 years ago and never forgot the concept. Fast forward to now, we were swarmed with yellow jackets while camping at Lake Tahoe anytime we ate any meat…. Remembering your video, I rigged a similar smaller version using some chicken bones with meat left on it, tied the bone on the bottom of a small bamboo cutting board using a piece of string, placed it over a clear plastic shoebox filled with soapy water, voila! In 1 day, we counted that we killed 95 of them!! Now we will bring all the necessary supplies to every camping trip. Thank you so much!!! :)

“I counted out each individual yellow jacket” you didn’t need to man, but bless your heart. Very satisfying!! My favourite is the DIY pop bottle style

holy moly dude, dont catch your balls in the door when your headed back into the house.

For Bees in the ground: Wait until dark, all the bees will be in for the night. Boil water in a large pot. Use gloves to safely handle the hot pot. Pour the boiling water steadily into the hole, filling it constantly. Works fast and COMPLETELY kills the nest. Be careful to not burn yourself. Collapse the hole or fill it with dirt.

My son has been watching your videos for the better part of three years. He is now 10 years old and just loves all the videos you make regarding capturing mace, and other things.

You should have wore a yellow jacket instead of gray.

You imagine this dude sitting in his garage or something counting EACH individual wasp??

That home made trap is pure awesome. i made 2 of them one year. Within 1 day, I had filled both traps up. Like 1000s of wasps in each tray

Great information my granddaughter was strung by a few dozen yellow jackets last year, this year is the worst and all stores are sold out of products so your homemade one is a god send thanks

I was lucky. My yellow jackets were taken care of naturally. One morning the whole nest was dug up and destroyed by a skunk. They’ve never returned.

Wasps: Evolved to harm humans with lethal stingers. Shawn: Evolved to harm wasps in the nude.

5:15 Yellow jacket: watches his comrades die Also the yellow jacket: Oh no! Anyway,

Excellent video! I've read that meat or meat grease works best in spring when they seek protein but sugary water is best later in summer. Supposed to add a drop of vinegar to avoid trapping bees, but not too much or the wasps will keep away too. Havent founs the ratio anywhere though

GIVE THE NEST A FLIP

Grey Cotton Hoodie: Protection: 2 Anti-Magic: 3 Anti-Poison: 1 Cost: 10 - 100 gold

Yellow jackets: Come have the chicken, it's to die for!

When ever I find an ant or wasp nest in the ground I use nothing more than a couple tablespoons of plain old gasoline. put a couple table spoons in ( less actually) and cover he hole with mud and overnight the fumes will kill the whole colony.The home made trap works the commercial ones don't do anything for me.

Lmao. I can't believe he actually counted them. Real hero.

You are crazy for digging them up... I had some in my backyard. I would get stung when I cut the yard. Live and let live... BUT when they stung my little Dachshund, that was War. So I found their hole, went out at night, sprayed it, put a brick on the hole, then put a hose by under the hole, and left it soak overnight. Next morning, a very soggy dead nest. I love your ideas. Great job.

Wow! I made this trap and it works incredibly well! Now I just need to find the nests around my place... I can't go anywhere outside without them dive bombing me.... been stung twice don't want anymore!

In the last few years, i have changed my plan of attack and have no problems with nests, just a few fly-bys. The queens hybernate thru the Winter and come Spring they wake up to build theirs nests. Here in Colorado, it’s in mid-April. That’s when to set the traps, every Queen=one nest. For the next 30 days, I get Queens. They are so much bigger there is no mistaking them. Get the Queens in the Spring and no nests that season. This wouldn’t work as well for country property with acreage though.

He kept playing with the pile of dead wasps ....like he was enjoying how their dead squishy body's felt in his fingers

This true legend defies the system by posting a mousetrap monday video on wendsday and making it about yellow jackets

Excellent! Been fighting a yellow jacket war with trying to keep them off my hummingbird feeders. I've been successfull with great effort, but I will try this next time. Thank you!

I plan to make the water trap. Kinda like my homemade mouse trap. 5 gallon bucket half filled with some water, twine stretched across the top, an access ramp to the string with peanut butter smeared on the string in the middle. Works every time

We made a trap (not this trap) for a yellow jacket nest next to our house. We used the soap and water method, but the bait was fruit and honey mixed in the water. It only caught a few yellow jackets that day, we left it over night, and the next day something had come by and dug up their nest! Later I was reading that supposedly you can pour honey around the yellow jacket nest to attract raccoons/skunks etc, and they will gladly dig the nest up (especially in fall) to get at the protein rich larva and apparently they don't mind the stings?

2:01 *slap* i don't know why that had me laughing out loud 😂😂😂👌

Me, a yellow jacket, looking at my 700 dead siblings floating in the pool: “that won’t happen to me, I’m built different”

“These yellow jackets are really aggressive” *Continues to stand in field unprotected with yellow jackets surrounding him*

Did anyone else cringe hard when he just picked up handfuls of the dead wasps

Shawn please make video of how to catch 1,000 girls in a few hours. Asking for friend.

_Man with a plank, meat, container, water, and dish soap effortlessly out performs intricately designed wasp traps_

Thanks i had 1 million yellowjackets swarming my house 24 hours a day. You’re a hero. 😊

Bees v Wasps: Bee - just wants to do it's job Wasp - has no job Bee - makes honey Wasp - does bugger all except annoy humans Bee - has the courtesy to die if it harms you Wasp - virtually immortal Bees - makes a loud buzzing sound to warn you it's near Wasp - sneaky gits

Those are some very odd-looking rats...

Thanks for the video. That was super helpful! I just moved from the city to a pretty little suburb. I’m a little freaked out by the wasps and it seems like they’ve declared war on my little dogs and me. It’s time to fight back! Thanks again for the video.

Thank you sooo much sir! Each summer I've been deprived from sitting on my balcony from late July to October, I suspect there's an (unreachable) nest somewhere on top of our residential building. This year I'll make my own diy trap :-).

Anyone else wigged out when he keeps grabbing handfulls of dead wasps and playing when them in his fingers?

This is useful information. Now I can make my homemade yellow jacket soup.

Man you're bold trying to hold your composure while they're flying right in front of you. I was running away from my phone.

Shawn: "Yellow jackets really love meat." Yellow Jacket: "Hey guys - the Huminz is made of meat!"

2:52 That was unexpectedly awesome

You COUNTED THEM ALL? Holy hell you are one dedicated man.

thank you Shawn! You are a rock star! I ran over a ground hornets nest last week with my mower. Did you know that some hornets (yellow jackets) have stored electric potential in their bodies? Yep! I got shocked and stung about 20 times. It felt like 100 of them, but it wasn't.

This video makes me happy :) I've been stung by this species literally hundreds of times in my life (one time over 60 stings at once when I ran over a new nest in our yard in the Appalachian Moutains).

Yellow Jackets be like: *WE JUST GOT SCAMMED*

Wasp Trap Wednesday

You grabbing them at the end made my skin crawl and my knees weak... But awesome trap! Very clever 👍

Watching them fall into the soap was so satisfying.

Today I learned yellowjackets apparently like meat. One more reason to be afraid of them.

He... he just slapped a hornet. Mother of God

Me: *goes outside and walks* Me again: *sees a trail of dead yellow jackets* *Well that’s nice.*

The homemade trap has much greater surface area (length x width) than the store-bought traps, and probably cost less. Tremendous bang for the buck!

Disappointed at the lack of little flips.

"and they go out and look for meat" *SMACK*

2:02 lol 😂 when your kids won't behave

Got stung by yellow jackets two days in a row. Glad to see Shawn Woods is on it. In case anyone doesn't know, the damn things really have a hard sting. It feels like having a bead of red hot metal dropped on you and it itches for days after. Tomorrow I'll be nailing chicken to a board.

2:07 Yellow Jacket near hand: "Jerry, you good? JERRY!!!!"

5:30 NONONONONONONONONONONO YOU PUT YOUR HAND INTO A PILE OF DEMONS.

the way i SCREAMED when he picked up a handful of dead yellowjackets omg, happy it worked but i’m now traumatized LOL
