Heads up to everybody. Putting speakers on the ground and turning the volume way up and playing SevenDust doesn't work.

Last week yellowjackets started goin in my living room come to find out theyre coming out from a crack on the wall near my window. So I knew there's a nest. My landlord didn't do much for over a week and even I requested for an exterminator since day 1. Thank God for this video. I went to homedepot to buy this and pour it at the crack where theyre goin in. After 6 hours I no longer see any of them flying around the window. This thing works!

My boy and I watch your videos every night before bed. And tonight is his 8th birthday. He wanted you to know and to say we enjoy your channel. We've been watching it for about a year.

A video showcasing diatomaceous earth would be interesting. The powder contains no poisons and has been effective on my property with yellow jacket nests.

I do yellow jacket removal, free. I have for 5 years since I bought myself a bee suit. I do it sheerly for the revenge on the things, hence free. I don't use poisons, though.

I use the diatomaceous powder also and it works well for indoor applications or Terro for ants. Tried a product from Home Depot called Safer but I got mixed results.

"i didn't find a single yellow jacket alive" Yellow jacket at 4:05 "Hah"

Excellent video! When I can't find the nest, I'll dust tiny pieces of turkey in Sevin and set it out in a bowl on our deck where yellow jackets constantly buzz. Same concept, they take the turkey pieces back the nest that I can't locate, and 2-3 days later the no more yellow jackets.

After trying various sprays, foams and DIY bee traps with limited success, I tried your method with Sevin and it worked perfectly, just as you described. Placed the powder one day and zero bee activity the next day. Thanks for posting this quick and easy solution. YOU DE MAN !!

Ran over a nest with a riding mower yesterday. And caught a few stings. I'm gonna try this method this evening. It looks a lot better than risking a fire with gasoline. Thanks, brother.

while mowing the other day i came across a yellowjacket ground hive, i sprayed it with hornet spray, that only pissed em off, but i tried this method here... well, i actually attatched a spoon to the end of an 8 foot extention pole i use for painting, i dropped it right on like you did here, pissed them off real quick, in seconds there were 25-30 yellowjackets swarming the entry. about 2 hours later i went to check on it and i found, absoulutely not one bee, anywhere. i check about an hour later again and found two bees, one was returning to the nest, and the other was dying outside the nest. wish i knew what that returning bee was thinking when he came back to that scene... tomorrow im digging it up. this definitely works, thanks for the info.

Thank you! Have two softball sized red lumps on my legs from being stung twice yesterday by a yellow jackets. Nest was hidden by a large rock.

Thank You for the Heads up fella ! While trimming my neighbours tree base these striped yellow jacket wasps showed me in no uncertain way. WE are not the top predator in our gardens after running around like a demented Muppet. This will be sweet revenge 👍 74+ 🍁hunter Yorkshire expat

Ground nests are easy but what about something more difficult like when they're going into the wall of your home underneath siding?

“ I’ll take care of that quickly “ 😂😂😂😂 Good job Shawn 🏆

Is it dangerous for grazing animals or pets?

Interesting, but do you know how it works? Do they eat it accidentally or does it go through their "skin"? Also great off-topic videos lately! Thx!

I pack a pipe with Sevin and hook it up to air compressor nozzle and blast it into nests in our soffit and any ground ones we find. works in

I've used diatomaceous earth against carpenter ants and it works exceptionally well. They don't know it's there most of the time, step on it, and they start the death dance. I would assume it works about the same for wasps and hornets.

4:00 Looks like this little one is all ready with its' super villain origin story xD

My favorite is late at night Pour 5 gal of soapy water down their hole Dawn works just fine the soap covers their breathing holes and the soap also sticks to their wings makes it hard for them to fly they die in 20-30 sec

The CO auto exhaust is the best method so far. Don't even need to buy a special hose, just improvise.

Been dealing with yellowjacket nests every year for 45 years, tried everything with mixed results. The one solution that is cheap, and has worked everytime. Even on those hard to find nests in ivy, retaining walls, blackberries, etc. Figure out generally where the entrance is and remember it. Go back at night with about a quart of gasoline, dump it in that spot. Gas fumes being heavier than air, settles into the nest and suffocates the bees. Next morning, no hive activity. I know, not environmentally friendly, well, neither is all the various insecticides dumped in volume trying to kill those resilient ill tempered creatures. I'd rather deal with sharks that have lasers strapped to their heads, than yellow jackets.

a small cup attached to a long pole sounds like a great way to get in at the hole

I also used it and it worked very well

my local hardware stores only had the 1% dust, so I tried that. It didn't do anything. Just FYI if you're in a similar situation.

I'm really impressed. Do you think it would work on a huge ant colony that lives around my house's foundation? Even if it doesn't kill the whole thing, I'll still take the partial wins. They've found some ways to infiltrate through the walls and I sometimes find some inside. I have no idea to what extent they might have settled in the house itself.

That bugger that emerged just then had me wondering how you missed a live one! Then you explained it just emerged and there was a duh moment, Glad this worked so well! Thanks for the safe method!

When you mentioned the brand name I immediately recognized it from the Bhopal disaster. Apparently the name is owned by another company now and they -no longer- still use Carbaryl which was made from MIC that caused the disaster. Edit: Actually, the Sevin 5% Dust that you demonstrated does use Carbaryl as its active ingredient.

I have to carry an injection to safe my life because of these darn things. I am so glad I found your video and I will definitely use it …great info

I had a fairly new nest under the platform of my new AC condenser . Been watching videos trying to figure out the best method to get rid of them. Tried diatomaceous earth for a couple of weeks with no success. I put about a tablespoon of Sevin on top of the DE in front of the crack where they were going in and bam, gone in a day.

Sevin has been around so long that it isn’t as effective as it used to be so Bonide has introduced Eight. Seriously.

Got stung by one yesterday they made a nest in a pile of leaves . As soon as I saw this video I went to lowes and bought some. No more yellow jackets this morning. This stuff works !!! I soaked the area 😂😂😂

My grandfather grew up on a farm and was one if 11 kids. He always had Seven Dust, Boric Acid, Copper Sulfate and Lime on hand (in the shed).

I'm going to have to give Seven Dust a try. There is a nest of yellow jackets under my deck/hot tub. There is no way to get to them. I'm going to try pouring the Seven Dust near where I see them going in.

4:19 "all the yellow jackets are dead"... Except that one crawling around the back of the nest near where the hand hovers....

When he put the dust in that one got an absolute face full

Kills honey bees too... so hard pass on that.

I just applied for 3rd time. And I think I saw the queen buzzing around the outside of nest inspecting. Is that normal? It keeps pouring down rain every afternoon and washes it away. And they still keep coming back.

I use a 5 gallon bucket of Dawn dish soap and water, I dump it on the nest and stomp on it. I do this while wearing a proper bee suit of course.

Never miss an opportunity to ask people if they know Bhopal

Well I had high hopes for this, but after 3 days total and 2 treatments of entrance with Sevin dust there is still hive activity

Effective enough it should be called "Double O Sevin Dust".

I have a yellow jacket nest that has at least 4 entrance holes. I'm buying Sevin dust tomorrow with plans on applying to each entrance tomorrow night. Wish me luck.

Used this for a yellow jacket nest in my garage wall, works really well

This company doesn't even formulate the product you link anymore, because the old ingredient carbaryl is banned in California for toxicity.

I couldn't find a single living yellowjacket.... 4:03 🤣

It definitely must take a while, did this process to two different yellow jacket nests two days ago and they are still coming and going! -?-

I have never try silicon dioxide that way, i guess it would get the job done and it is ''non toxic''. I would love to try it but the summer is already gone here. Yellow jacket season was over a month ago already. Maybe you will find a good setup. Thanks.

I must have mutant yellowjackets because i have dumped copious amounts of seven in the hole, watched them crawl through it, 5 times now and they just won't die.

Do you have to dig up the next to prevent their return?

This was Awesome! I never would have known such an effective solution existed if not for your very entertaining videos!! Thanks for sharing!

We tried this method with European wasps down here in Australia - using a red headlamp as they still attacked a light at night - and were later astounded to discover wasps making piles of the dust roughly 2 metres away from the holes. By midday all trace of the dust was gone and the nest survived :/ Until we flooded it 2 weeks later and dug it up

DISCLAIMER : Numerous yellow jackets WERE harmed during the making of this video !!

4:05 You missed one

I've done this and after a few hours I noticed they keep making new holes and I keep applying powder on those as well... but they keep making new entrances! Has this happened to anyone?

We don't have a Bee suit. So, we had a canister of Sevin that was 1/3 full, cut the top off, duct taped the canister to a long tree pruning pole. After dark tonight, Hubby dumped it over the hole. He felt a lot safer using a 10 ft pole to dump it over the nest. I will report back in a couple days to see how it's worked.

Excellent video! I tried this on an inground nest using exactly the same method in your video and you were exactly right. Now yellow jackets after 24hrs. Thanks for the info!

i been using 2 part part solution for getting rid of nests. 1 i use delta dust (deltamethrin) using an applicator (it shoots the dust in the whole as a cloud) and then i follow up with raid or some other instant kill on the entrance. helps keep any of the bees from coming out of the hole for a short time. then the delta dust kills them over time and won't get effected by the water or anything like that.

Anybody complaining about the, uhm, unaliving of them yellow jackets: Shawn is simply doing his bit for climate change by reducing the carbon footprint of that colony.

We used to use sevin dust all around the house. (Didn't help with the Florida roaches.)

A piece of dry ice in the entrance will suffocate the entire nest and be gone in a few hours and 100% inert to all things!

Thank you to your viewers that recommended this method and thank you for posting it.

the safest and easiest way to apply the dust is by taping a plastic spoon to a 3 ft. stick . This will keep you out of the danger zone.

I use Delta Dust which is pretty much the same thing from Bayer. It doesn't have knock down power, but apply at night and your problems are over in 24 hours. If only you could get it in an aerosol for nests above ground.

I pour gasoline down the hole and walk away and I don't care about a half pint of gas pollution.

I always preferred gasoline and a match but then again I'm a closet pyro.

I only like Mondays because of these videos. Thank you!

The Sevin works great! I have wiped out 2 nests with about a tablespoon each. I bought a squeeze dispenser- like a restaurant ketchup bottle and filled it up (labeled “poison”). Shoots from a foot away accurately. Fun fun!

I've used gasoline and a match at night time on yellow jacket nests, it worked also.

As a carpenter ,we found many nests in the soffits. My solution for that is spelled out below.

An ounce of isopropol rubbing alcohol in a beer bottle after dark will asphyxiate the whole nest. Dump it in and leave the bottle in the hole

I wounder if it would work on mice? Just to try something different

wow those yellowjacket videos are my favorite

I have use Sevin Dust a lot. I am glad you are showing this I HATE Yellow Jackets, death to them all. I had for gotten about this, Thanks Shawn.

@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday have you tried using a blue UV light bug zapper to fry those nasty wasps?

Very useful for those of us without bee suits. Thanks!

4:12 - HEY ONES STILL ALIVE!!! That 99.9% kill rate is still accurate.

This powder did not work for me. I applied it twice. The bees are still here. Aggressive yellow jackets

What about soapy water poured down the hole?

Interesting, I’ll have to try that 👍🏻 I normally just put a little gas in a soda bottle and stick in the hole late at night . All dead by next morning . Not a big fan of just putting gas in the ground even know that were it came from , but dang stuff is getting to spendy to just put it back in the ground !!!

what is the active ingredient? SEVIN dust used to be 5%carbaryl, but carbaryl was banned in the USA in 2020.

Would be great if it worked that well on the 3 separate nests surrounding a house I'm working on. Started with 4 nests. Drowned 1 nest with wasp spray(8 cans). It was dead in 30 minutes. Dusted the others and 24hrs later they're just as active if not more active in all 3.

This is the correct way, "Trojan Method" . Congrat.

Request to see if Snake Away snake repellent works, not just on snakes but on rodents and insects as well. This channel has helped me a couple different times, thnx and keep up the good work. 👍

Tried it twice. Doesn't work.

Outstanding camera work. Will some method of Sevin work on FLIES ? Anybody.

Thank you!! Just bought and used this on a ground nest under a bush near our house. This did in a few hours what 3 full cans of spray couldn't.

...but the flamethrower videos are way more entertaining 😆

I pour gasoline in the hole and light it. I'm allergic but they aren't bothering with me. They fly right into the flames to rescue their burning queen. Granted, Sevin is easier and safer, just not as fun as the risk of neighborhood fires.

New subscriber!!!

I just soak rag in Gasoline and stuff it in entryway after dark works every time And No Need to light it up to cause FIRE 🔥 fumes kills them in minutes

My Girlfriend was killed in Alabama. Yellow Jackets got her

This works. I bought the bee suit, dumped the dust in the evening. Dug up the huge nest the next day. Thanks

4:05 yeah, all dead alright!

Make "Difficult Stressful Way to Mend a Yellow Jacket Ground Nest" please 🙏

Did as the video showed. 3 days later bees still happily going in and out. Do you have another trick that works?

was I the only one who noticed the one yellow jacket that just got completely covered in the Sevin dust?
