Liquid Nitrogen Is Incredible At Destroying Dangerous Yellow Jacket Hornet Nests. Mousetrap Monday 

dont purchased from scamazon they randomly block accounts wheb redeeming gift cards you are warned people i already lost €100

Kind of like pouring a supertanker of liquid Nitrogen on a stadium of people watching a game. It gets cold really quick.

How much people pay you to get rid of a nest

Try ammonia!! I guarantee this will be the best thing you try. Also works incredibly well pouring down a rat hole.

A kettle of boiling water is more accessible.

AEEEE

AUUUUUUGH💀💀💀

Ayoooo

Nice one, dad.

😂😂😂.

Except for a snuff film.

I feel that might not be the direction he meant

@@octae1217 well technically...

Best comment I've read all day

Absolutely

Wow! Naturally created landmines? Hahaha

You're Ryu Hayabusa, just parry the hornets.

I hate these things. I feel inspired and avenged.

My childhood wasp trauma was a bit different. I was at my grandmothers house, in the backyard playin around n exploring. Came across this funny looking paper thing bout size of an adult hand (fingers extended) hanging under a water hose holder on the wall. Being that I had no idea what this object was or why it was there, walking stick in hand I opted to perform one of humanities oldest and advanced type of scientific study......which lead to a astonishing discovery. Wasps really dont like it when you poke their nest with a stick. Clearly I was smarterestest child. I recall running inside the house crying with wasps all over me, not clear as to the following events. Pretty sure my dad torched the nest though. Oddly enough I dont actually recall the stings hurting to bad. I imagine it was likely due to adrenaline and panic. Since then however Ive been terrified of wasps.

The Geneva Conventions don’t apply to flesh-eating insects

The best warcrime there is.

If the yellow jackets had attended the Geneva Convention, they would have stung everyone!

as someone who hates yellow jackets(they are the assholes of the insect world), i whole heartedly approve of this warcrime.

It never happened and even if it did they deserved it.

lol that grass is dead too. its roots had to freeze, but will quickly regrow

Yeah, but most people can't get their hands on liquid nitrogen.

@@maxhonneger3278 true👍

But hey plants also used nitrogen for their nutrients, so i see this as a win-win solution!

@@alifr4088 I know right 😊

I was thinking the same, way more likely to just suffocate them than freezing them. But once he dug 'em up they were frozen solid, so whatdayaknow

Big fan. But why do you watch ground hornet destroyal videos lol

Actually, he was researching liquid nitrogen for the cooling of a restored 1980s era supercomputer.

Interesting 🤔 Hasn't considered the O2 displacement as the N warms to gas state

Liquid Nitrogen is pretty cheap

@@alankiedrowski54 Ah. Didn't know that 🤷‍♂️

@@GaisaSanktejo A liter costs about 40 cents here

Looks like the only expensive part about liquid nitrogen is keeping it that way. A liter cost less than a dollar, but a liter container for it is $100+

@@soulofshukaku I noticed that myself. The containers are the expensive component, and it seems they only hold the contents for a limited time...

Take a potfull of electricity to separate nitrogen from atmosphere, liquify it, and put it in tanks.

​@@snidecommenter7117 Exactly. I don't think this is a particularly environmentally sound approach if you consider all the factors.

It’s also humane: instant freeze.

well technically they're burnt

Every hear of freezer burn?

just a small notice liquid nitrogen is N2, basically liquified dry air NO2 is a dangerous gas on the other hand

At both temperature extremes h2o is less likely to exist as a liquid :)

Liquid nitrogen is actually very very cheap. the amount he used is cheaper than commercial pesticides and its non-toxic.

@@semakajohn2699 About how much would a container like his cost?

@@Angultra well it's between 30 cents and and 1.75 a liter so a canister like that may be about 5-20 bucks

@@Angultra Apparently the container itself, is the most expensive thing. Like in the hundreds of dollars range.

@@TheHungrySlug just rent them gor a few bucks.

oh boy that would be expensive

$2 per 1 litre

You risk destroying items though. At least the surface of some stuff

Not liquid Nitrogen. That is evaporating ASAP

Also Liquid Nitrogen will burn your skin.

@@mvalthegamer2450 all I'm saying is a quick splash will bounce right off the skin but anything permeable might absorb it and hold it on the skin long enough to cause damage.

@@docolemnsx He could immerse his hand in the liquid nitrogen then break it off once it has froze sufficiently? I wonder if RU-vid would demonetize the video? 🤔🤣

Yummy bees with "harmless" liquid 💀

@@couththememer Liquid nitrogen is essentially air kept below subzero. At room temperature, it boils, but once it becomes a gas, it's just air (completely harmless unlike pesticides).

​@@tavariskaiser6742 huge downside is the last time I priced out a gallon of liquid nitrogen it was a little over $1,000😭

Ask any overclocked PC gamers.

@@whothefoxcares I'm probably the only guy in my neck-of-the-woods who builds his own & overclocks (for the past 30+ years). I had a liquid cooled radiator style setup a few builds ago, which worked well. These days, I'm not so ambitious, so I just use huge fan cooled coolers and am still over 4ghz. I think a welding supply house might carry liquid nitrogen though.

The standard place is a welding gas supply. Airgas is one of the larger national companies. Tons of smaller local and regional companies. Dry ice is easier to get, but less effective

@@billsomrak Nobody expected this reply. We salute you, sir.

Just so you know, apparently LN2 is roughly the same price per litre as beer. It's not exactly rare, the only cost involved in the production is in distillation and in cooling.

i think you do in fact need it for that one thing you need to do

@@solidsnaker1992 that's how I usually explain it to the missus..

Is liquid nitrogen expensive?Did you have to be mindfull with your supply? Thanks in advance for the answer and have a good day!

@@yungzed Deep freezing the crayons so they have a refreshing treat on a hot summer's day.

@@duckmcluck6911 On a per-liter basis it is cheaper than beer. When liquid oxygen is produced for making steel, liquid nitrogen is produced as a by-product. It is, in effect, an industrial waste product. Massive quantities of it are used in space simulation chambers to cool the walls.

I'd like to know more!

Its all fun and games till the REALLY big hornets start blasting plasma out their asses, and the hornet brain bug sucks out your brain through a straw.

Only good bug is a dead bug

The Federation in Starship Troopers could claim God gave them nitrogen to fight the bugs.

Well when service guarantees citizenship, how could he not?

Nah, gotta feed it to the local wildlife :D

@@QuantumConundrum Or make something out of it if it's not poisonous. I think I've heard of people make honeycombs into a food of some form. Can't remember the process tho, so it might potentially work. And ik liquid nitrogen is used in some restaurants for their own dishes

I did.

@@whatshouldidowithmychannel an. Tasty

@@timmynormand8082 LOL

@@MrKnutriis just seemed crispy an tasty go together lol

@@timmynormand8082 They do

Go to a grocery store or Walmart or something and inquire about buying dry ice. That'll do the same job. Cold, displaces oxygen, sinks into the ground. Just dump the dry ice into the hole. Cover it up, or not, doesn't matter. It'll do the trick either way.

Yea it could, always have good ventilation when handling anything other than air

Biggest gotcha is NEVER use an elevator to transport LN2 if there's also a person in the elevator. If the LN2 spills, it could easily asphyxiate everyone in the elevator.

Yeah, it has a two-fold effect. It dissipates pretty quick (especially outdoors), but any wasps in the immediate area that don’t freeze will probably asphyxiate. Very effective.

Yes because in liquid form nitrogen is much more dense so when it vaporizes it expands rapidly and displaces the air around it, especially in a confined space like that underground nest.

Absolutely. There is a reason it's used as a fire suppression system ingredient.

Thanks! I was just gonna ask the cost comparison!

Used motor oil 69%, gasoline to the top, mix, apply slowly, wait ten minutes, reapply; ignite! Observation mode, done.

It's not freely available in every country though. There's strict rules in mine for transporting and keeping it around. If you want as big of a container as Shawn is using, you'll have to jump through quite some hoops to get it here.

@@Koowluh There are videos about how to make it at home.

@@Horus2Osiris Oil is very toxic for any natural water sources though. The pollution ratio is one million, so any volume unit, e.g. 1 oz, 1 liter, 1 gallon of oil, will contaminate a volume of water equal to a million times that amount.

Accurate.

No

Good catch. Being technically correct is the best kind of being right. He should have said under minus 200 C

@@jcmick8430 Actualy it is -196 C

Lol

This comment is underrated

I laughed! Good comment :)

Yes it is just liquid well nitrogen and the atmosphere is about 80% nitrogen so when it boils at about -196c it just turns back to n2 gas.

Yup. As if it was aliens

With the downside others have brought up being cost, everything else is pretty good about this method from what I have read.

@@thew2646 Yes.

Saw that sight....awesome "artwork". I think he sells them also.

Not on a wasp nest, which is basically paper.

@@imho2278 No, but the fire will handle 'em.

Fifteen years ago walking through a pine forest with a friend, very warm day - both of us focused on our conversation. At the same time we both slowed our walk, stopped talking and looked at each other in amazement. "BEES!" we both said in unison. Then we hightailed it out of the forest. The entire area was THRUMMING with the sound of bees - you could almost feel the air vibrating with the buzzing of their wings. So. Many. Bees. It was really cool but glad we didn't stick around.

Freeze dried

Time to eat!!!😂😂😂😂

Lemme pour some more

thats mean

@@reflux1059 they are pests that attack people

You think one is bad, try getting stung multiple times. Not a good experience. Lucky I am not allergic. I stumbled into a nest when I opened the door of an old truck which sat for awhile. The wasps/hornets built a nest under the dash just inside the door. I jumped in and sat on the seat and tried starting the truck. Luckily I had not closed the door. They came out in numbers and were pissed. I was stung at least 20 times on the legs (had shorts on!) and other places before I managed to get out and away. Didn't end up hospitalized, but it sickened me for about a day.

@@johnruiz6743 uhh yea, sorry but your story is not even as close to being as bad as OP’s. They almost died from the allergy. You experienced discomfort.

I see what you did there

i think the time for him to dig up, transport, and film is enough for them to resurrect if they still have any life in them... but from the look of it they are dead for good...

They won't be able to breathe and get oxygen tho?

Good thought. But it looks like in the final part of the video he had moved the remains of the nest into a studio location to film them. (When he shows the queen.) So I think everything was good and dead!

Bro liquid nitrogen is -200° it's practically instant hypothermia death

@@Generic_Gaming_Channel nah, it is so cold they are frozen alive, and with the right conditions they may unfreeze and resume their life (i believe it's cryostasis or something)

I was gonna say the same thing. I think I saw it on one of Nile Red's videos. He explained it's better not wearing a glove when working with liquid nitrogen.

Bare hands, not bear. Unless you mean to say that people who regularly work with LN literally have hands like bears.

Yeah dyslexia isn't fun some times

I was also going to reply in a similar fashion to this comment, but went looking through the comments to see if anyone had beaten me to it. 👍

Diatomaceous earth also works if dispensed into the hole. It takes a few days, but once they all get coated with it, it cuts through the coating on the exoskeleton and dessicates them. Not to mention it also clogs their spiracles so it interferes with insect respiration as well. Yet, not toxic to humans or animals, just bugs with an exoskeleton.

​@@johnruiz6743 Sounds so brutal yet throughly satisfying to imagine. I hate yellow jackets and hornets.

Mesh is a good idea, also unroll some window screen over the holes then let em have it.
