He IS in danger, but he's a professional who trusts in his equipment. It's like working in a biosafety lab. In a situation with that many angry wasps, even a small rip in the suit would be life-threatening, particularly the veil. I know guys who work very aggressive beehives with no suit because they're basically immune to bee venom, but they always wear a veil because an enraged hive knows to attack your mouth - that's where the carbon dioxide is coming from. They can literally crawl into your throat and sting your windpipe from the inside. I bet that makes escaping a bit difficult.
That's the biggest hornet nest I've ever seen! It must be so good for the people living in the area to notice the hornet presence basically reduced to zero after this removal, good job!
Wow, how brave. I came over my fear of bees 5 years ago, this freaks me out lol. With or without headphones, the amount of hornets flying tricks my brain into thinking they are around me and touching and stinging me.
@@wingsofatlantis Yeah for sure...anyone who has been around hornets (Especially angry ones) can tell you if there is a way that 1 can sting you the rest will come flying like bats out of hell. I came upon a hornets nest in a barn once. They got pissed, I ran like hell and luckily was able to escape with only a couple stings, but I wasnt allergic, I just put some ice and tried to get the swelling down. Hurt liek hell. If somene happens to have allergic reaction its all over.💀☠
@@jensz9360 dangggg- one time my next door neighbor had a hornets nest above his garage door. They would always be flying around and my mother made the mistake of leaving our window open without a fly screen. I've never run so fast in my LIFE. If someone be allergic, they're a goner.
@@wingsofatlantis Yeah its crazy how fast they are too, cant really outrun them, just hope they lose interest in you and hope they feel like youa re far eough away from their nest to not be a threat and they stop chasing. That is what I did, but like I said I still took a couple stings and it hurt like hell...worse than any bee for sure. The ones I got stung by were baldfaced hornets.
@@jensz9360 they definitely fly super fast, I ended up locking myself in a room until they stopped banging against the door. I got stung a couple times, worse than any bee sting I've ever gotten.
Amazing My dad went to the island as an exterminator and worked on many young girl's until his work was done. Hes back home now working on his philosophy degree,50 years of honest toil and good work. Hes a winner
Frontal Lobotomy I stepped in a hornet's nest once and they all went up my pants. Most painful 2 days of my life. They entered my pants and went to town in my legs. By a literal miracle my pp was spared. I discovered at least 5 in my underwear when I finally reached medical personnel. Along with the hornet's were a few yellow jackets. Crazy experience I will never forget.
This video reminds me. The painting company I work for used to have an old building with a shed where we used to keep old and unused paint. It was neglected over the years and when it came time to get rid of that shed we had to evict the tenants that were living in there. Red Wasps, Paper Wasps, Bald Faced Hornets, Yellow Jackets and a few Carpenter Bees. Thousands of them living together. Three massive nests, several medium nests and a ton of tiny nests all in one shed. I suited up in several layers of thick clothes and painters cover-alls, several sprayer's socks over my head and full face spray mask. We then ran dirty paint thinner through a spray machine. Without the spray tip, the sprayer is like a machine gun at full pressure shooting large streams of paint thinner. Graco Murker ES for those curious. You'd be amazed what the combination of paint thinner and a full pressure Murker does to these bugs. Once ready we opened the single small door into the shed and I just started blasting. The moment the paint thinner hits them, it has the same effect as Wasp Spray. It incapacitates and quickly kills them. Because I'm launching huge streams of thinner so quickly, I'm able to knock a bunch of them out of the air with direct hits before can even get out of the door. It was like the Normandy landing scene in Saving Private Ryan. No disrespect to the actual men served and died there of course. The bugs that didn't take direct hits are covered by the thick mist of thinner that is created around the stream. They fell to the ground and were easy pickings. Some managed to fly away but most died in the shed. We soaked all the nests (we used about 20 gallons of dirty thinner) to be sure it safe for us to clear it all out the next morning. Next day we return to the carnage and collected about 4 Contractors Trash Bags full of nesting material and dead bugs. We were surprised by not only how many there were but all the different species living together. Needless to say I had a blast gunning down all those Wasps and hornets, and thankfully without getting a single sting. Only regret is not filming it.
That was my immediate thought as well. There is no use trying to kill/remove a nest that has literally grown to consume the entire shed. I don’t think I’ve seen that many hornets in one place in all my life and I’ve personally dealt with some big ones but nothing compares to this. This is so far beyond what is known as an infestation. These hornets are the result of several different nests that have come together to form one massive colony that has completely consumed everything in and around this property. At that point the only thing left to do is close the damn door and dowse the place in gasoline and burn it to the ground.
@@Bakotcha I really don't care what you think; I knew that was gonna bomb and that's the funny part. So, dog on me all you want, I'm not emotionally attached to this comment.
