We have had ground bees. I throw old window screens on top of the opening at night. Then pour a 5 gal bucket of water and biodegradable dish detergent on the screen. this seems to take care of the problem.
YES! This works. I used castile soap late at night and the nest is gone.
My husband would put a winter jacket on. He used his blow torch to burn up the nest. Maybe use some netting over a hat and wear thick gloves. I really like your videos. You are so laid back and seem to enjoy your chores. Not so with every homesteader here on You Tube. Your family seems so happy.
Это потому что они действительно счастливы!!! И во главе Христос, а жить с Иисусом это счастье!
We bun our paper wasp nests at night in our mango orchard. Night time because that's when they're all on the nest. Destroying the nest prevents others taking over the abandoned nest
THIS
Love the your ending with your daughter play acting being scared of the bees cute!
Thanks so much! 😊
@@deborahplyler6528 great suggestion on treating the bite.
go to thrift stores a look for golf shoes or cleats n wear those around will Area , you're soil your pastures and wherever you're walking with those cleats on
Oh, that's a neat idea.
Not sure how to get rid of the wasps but I would make sure I had a pocket full of plantain if I had to venture into wasp territory. Stay safe!
Build a fence around your property and then build separate corral areas and a big chicken house and run😊. Wasp nests you can get rid of in the winter and try and mow all the area down in the winter😮
Wasp larva are great fish bait. And they come in their own little package that often will fit into your shirt pocket.
We have used dawn dish detergent. Spray wasp good. Smoother them and can't fly. I've used it lots of time. More dawn than water though. Pray you get rid of your pests. Shalom
I was digging a really big hole in prep for an oak tree near my raised beds. There was a yellow jacket nest that I did not know about right next to where I leaned to rest a spell on the raised bed. I got stung, quickly vacated, and went inside to rub a baking soda paste on the sting. While running, I prayed, “Father, forgive them as they don’t know what they’ve done.” I also resolved to leave the nest alone and not take any revenge. The pain immediately died down mostly even before I could get the paste applied. It was completely gone before I had the paste rubbed in. 10 minutes after being stung I could not find the red spot from the sting. I’ve been stung by yellow jackets and bees before this. I know what it should feel like but this time was very different. Why did I have such relief so quickly? The why is not for me to ruminate upon. All I care about is that it happened to the praise and glory of our Lord, Jesus, the Messiah.
Did you know that yellow mustard on a bee or wasp sting handles the problem? It does and the stinger comes out in the mustard… I’m 70 years old and have been doing this since early on… I learned this helping round up cattle!!
@@LadyPeter it might have been a bite rather than a sting, they do both, sometimes at the same time. Be careful around them when they start putting out the pheromones the whole nest will respond.
@@RuthAnnnMorris No, I did not know this, but I do now. Cool! You are the perfect example of science in action...repetitive experiences with the exact same result and no interpretation involved.
Your daughter is such a lovely young lady❤ so helpful and humble 😅😅
WATCHING MIKE DO "THE WASP DANCE" is funny as heck! Stay safe! Good luck with the conference!
Since you have goats you can train a wether to pull a cart. Our 4H club had a handbook on how to do it, maybe check out your local chapter.
Love your videos
I feel your pain, my brother!
My husband way back used gas to get rid of them. I have used a home made hot sauce spray like pepper spray. Bless you and your family
We used our muscovy ducks around pond and in the pasture for wasp.
Do they eat wasps? I have muscovy ducks
@@MikeTheFitFarmer yes they do
I had paper wasps in a bush in my yard. Didn't see it and got stung 3 times on my hand. Finally found the nest, sprayed at it with the hose once they flew off knocked the nest down so they wouldn't come back. Then ran in the house till I knew they were gone for good. They have a mean sting. Thankful it was a small nest.
Sorry to hear that. Getting stung in the hand hurts more, I think. When I got stung in the thumb, it was the worst stung ever. Probably because their is less meat on our hands and figures. Lol
You have a cute family Mike. Always willing to help with the work and get things done. Always ripe for a good joke. 😅.
We are small farmers too. Really love seeing your videos, getting the encouragement at the hard stuff.
Thanks so much! And hang in there! If there is anything we can do to help, let us know.
Wasps hate scented dryer sheets…Use strategically! Also, dab Clorox on sting site, quickly reduces pain and swelling.
I recently tried dawn dish soap in wasps water source worked great 👍
Thanks! We'll try that!
The children sure have grown over the year.
Cutest thumbnail ever! ♥ Good job family!
Thanks so much 😁 I actually like to have fun making the thumbnails.
You can use lemon or cloves and make a spray they don't like the smell, and you can use citronella sprayed around and mix with soapy water.
Spray them with dish soap and water in a small hand sprayer
Thanks!
A can of hairspray and a torch on poles works wonders! Only problem is ya might set the pasture on fire too!
Thumbnail was really cute!
Thank you!
I just love listening to ur voice and ty for sharing all ur knowledge
That was incredibly brave of you Mike to be all up in those wasp nests and ant mounds.
I had mud dobbers, yellow jackets and hornets. Dawn dish soap/water 60/40. or stronger. I used a pump sprayer for the distance advantage. It smothers them and no nasty chemicals. It may take an application or three. Soak the begeebers out of the nests. They are full of brode!
Mike love and enjoy watching your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals.
Thank you so much!
😮 I didn’t know that wasps build their nests in open areas. 😮 Good luck getting them in control. Love your humor.😂 Enjoyed your video. ❤
Thanks! I didn't either. 😬
I have never seen a wasps nest made on the ground before.
LOVE your kids helping u GOD BLESSED YOUR FAMILY
Red wasps just built a nest in the inside front wall of the rabbit hutch. I didn't know this until I pulled out a vine growing through it from back to front. When I pulled it out it disturbed the nest and one got me on my arm. I still have a knot where he got me a few days ago. Man do they hurt.
Just wondering if you thought of maybe getting a small pony that is trained to pull a cart to help move things around. When I was little my dad use to take me to a small dairy farm near our home. My dad, growing up in dairy farm country in upper NY state in the 20's and 30's, would talk with the farmer and swap stories. Every thing from tractors to repairing the milking machine. They would always mention how something with an engine would go down and they would need help moving some small things around. That's why they kept a pony. Usually a Shetland. I know it is really old school and a ATV is much more fun. Just thinking of how useful a pony would be. If you know of anyone that knows horses you could check out some auctions together.
Ponys cost. Not easy to raise & they r clumsy. A donkey might b better. And I love equines
Sorry about wasps I usually made little flags so i vould find wasps nests quickly at dusk treat them and run when I was still farming. Kept the flags for next time.
Thanks, Lillian! We have been doing that with holes in the ground, so we know where to step, but we should do it to know where to come back to the wasps nests too.
I agree with @shoebii181 use a blow torch with controlled fire. Use a bee suit. Be careful, Blessings.
Evening family always good to see you all,,Salah your are just a great worker😊
❤❤Hello fit farmer family!!
I found a solution to ants. Mix equal parts of table salt and baking soda (I used 10lbs:10lbs). Then I spread it generously over the ant hills and trails and within a day or 2 they were gone. No harm to my animals or grandchildren with harmful sprays or pesticides.
Careful with those wasps. I've been stung multiple times and it made me very sick with fever. Blessings to you all and I hope your animals stay safe and healthy.
Candy in North Augusta SC
I have yellow ones every where and got bit by two.
I wondered how you got that thumbnail.very clever.
Aardvark! 🤣🤣🤣 Cracked me up!
Soapy water works like a charm!!!
Back in Texas, I used to get eaten alive by red fire ants as I mowed the lawn! HORRIBLE THINGS! Give the wasp nests to the chickens, they'll eat up all those grubs!
Mike, I have your solutions USE FULL STRENGTH DAWN DETERGENT Wait until night time when they are less active and then fully coat the wasp nest problem is solved. For the ant bites, a fireman suggested to me when my kids were little , if they get bit by ants to rub the white chalky deodorant, stick on the bites, It should take away the pain and the swelling and itchiness
Thanks, Donna! We'll have to try Dawn for the wasps. For ant bites, we have a number of things that we like to do. But we'll keep the chalky deodorant in mind too.
@@MikeTheFitFarmercomfrey salve is better to relieve pain, heal, and reduce swelling fast.
3 tablespoons of dawn dish soap per gallon of water in a sprayer.
Where is Josiah? We see Saila and Micah, but no Josiah. I’m really impressed with your ability to work around the hornets. I would be too scared to
Yeah. Sometimes he doesn't want to he on camera, so I don't force him.
Thanks for asking about Josiah!
Mike when I see bee's that is a warning for me to get out of there way.
Curious... if you put 'snow chains' on your truck's tires (some have sort of spikes) while that wouldn't be perfect but maybe that would chunk up the soil a bit where you ride over it?
I’d like to know what you do for your fire ants what I do is I circled the mound at 7 AM with scalding hot water, but it makes a line in my yard and I don’t like that much but it gets rid of those ants.
On the wasps to be able to keep it all natural of course you don’t wanna do any poisons. I love their ideas about the soap and water. Dawn is amazing. I’m gonna try that too.
Fire ants don’t like coffee grounds either. Seems to work too.
I used dettol on my ants nest. They were the small ones. I just poured it down the hole of the and hill. They hated the smell and left. I know Dettol isn't safe around my parrots, so please check if it's safe for your animals.
gas n a match l9l bee suit bucket with lid
Mike I cautiously look around, make sure I acknowledge them, they buzz around, I tell them to go away. They do, no problem. Don’t act like, oooh there’s wasps😳 show them respect, Demand their respect. I never had a problem walking through a garden of stinging insects. ….Now the yellow jackets are just a holes
Awesome job fam 😊
Love the thumb nail
Thanks! I enjoy making thumbnails 😁
diatomaceous earth for both. Come at night when nest is inactive.
Wasps move when you confront them with smoke
You can use dawn dish soap with water to spray them
Cover of dark night and early mornings they will be in the nest.
I rarely see the oldest son. Does he not doing farm things or not like the camera?
Yeah. Sometimes he doesn't want to he on camera, so I don't force him. But everyone helps with farm chores/work to one degree or another, even if it is not on camera.
Spray them???
I wld be spraying the wasp nests and the ant nests I Cldnt be doing with them…love the thumb nail ❤
Lol. Thanks! What do you use to spray? We prefer to use organic or natural stuff.
@@MikeTheFitFarmer you cld try dawn dish wash soap.. make it good and strong your not trying to give them a bubble bath ur drowning them and then they can’t fly destroy nest get a blow torch… they don’t take no prisoners sk don’t you … good luck
Enjoyed watching made me laugh some but be careful 😅🌼♥️🌻🌺🇺🇲
Thank you!
Go to the house and put your beekeeper suit on
I think dragging your nets around is making the wasps super angry
I got stung by red wasp and Tulsa, Oklahoma man that hurts so bad. I saw rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle works.
Oh, man. So sorry you got stung. Did the rubbing alcohol burn?
I heard the you can build a hornets nest around your property and it scares away all other wasps and bees. It’s worth a shot and build one that lasts in the weather
Enjoyed this 😂🎉🎉❤
Stem makes a natural wasp spray that I use around my animals and their feed. It works just like normal spray so you do t have to get close to
Mike you are a good dancer that is wasp dancer 😂

Hi guys!
Hey Mary!
The ants and wasps won’t bother the animals?
HI MIKE DO YOU NEED THUMBNAIL DESIGNER?
Feel free to send me some samples.
Genieas spelled wrong will get rid of the fire ants and maybe the wasp
Red wasps hurt !!!!
🤣love the end!!
You can put white vinger in the hole and spray white vinger on fire ants
holy cow! what a mess! yeah both hurt like crazy!!
Yeah, that area is crazy!
You r brave ❤❤
Thanks 😀
I got bit in the back of my head 😫 itched bad, hurt, numb and swollen lymph node on base of my head for 30 DAYS ... NO JOKE...Red paper wasp)
Oh no! That sounds terrible
Amdro will kill those fire ants in 24hrs.
On Homestead Fashion in Idaho he made a short video showing how he got rid of his problem
Check out the thumbnail of his wife face a few months ago....
Where is your oldest boy?He could help more
He has his own chores.
Nooice! 😎 STOC
@Mike I do not see a guard goose for your chickens. Do you not have any problem with winged predators going after your flocks?
I have 3 guard geese and dogs, but not in this area. But with this flock, I accidentally learned something. We leave feed out, and crows come eat the feed, and they will chase away hawks. The chickens go up at night, so we usually don't have owl problems either.
Dishwashing soap and water will kill the wasp instantly 👍🏿👍🏿
Diatomaceous Earth!
I've heard Stacy from Off Grid talk about using 90% alcohol in a squirt bottle and squirt the wasps at her place in MO. 😆
My dad, when he stationed at Gitmo in the late 50s would load a water pistol with bug spray and shoot Cockroaches in the yard! 🤣
I've also heard you can burn them out! Get a torch/flame burner and go around spot burning the areas with wasps/fire ants. 😅
Hope these 3 suggestions gives you some ideas! 😅
Ardvark😅

those goat looking tucked in?? are they.only getting pastures?
