Bald face hornet nest treated with Raid. Does Raid wasp and hornet spray work
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- In this video I do a bald face hornet nest removal using simple raid wasp and hornet spray. See how raid stacks up compared to other products I’ve used. It makes quick work of this wasp nest and eliminates the wasp on contact. Please like and subscribe for more hornet wasp and ground wasp nest removals
A couple notes:
1) RAID comes in black cans
2) MAG1 Brake cleaner comes in black cans
3) I keep both on the same shelf
4) Brake cleaner does not kill wasps but it sure pisses them off
5) I run surprisingly fast for a middle aged dude
6) I pay better attention to detail now
PB spray they hate, too.😂😂
Science!
The chlorinated version works much better
7) Consequently, wasps can fly fast and stop on a dime a lot faster now.
At least your brakes don't have any wasp nests on them now
Unless you have a bee suit, those products have a warning against standing on a ladder when spraying. I rolled my eyes at that warning and figured if I went up at night I'd be fine. As I sprayed, the sudden onset of loud buzzing instilled such panic in me that I literally forgot I was on a ladder and instinctively jumped backward. Fell 6 feet directly on my tailbone.
Hopefully they didn't sting you
same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. also that raid makes ladders slipprier than hell which doesn't help. you're goin down whether you want to or not.
Yeah you gotta have some courage I killed one at night Nobody got hurt except for the The hornet They did however Sting the c*** out of me the day before That is how I found out they were there As long as your courage holds you can kill them Afterward my nephew took it to school for show tell
I had a softball size nest in an apple tree that I was unaware of until I noticed black and white things buzzing around my head when mowing the grass near the tree. Luckily I didn’t get stung once I figured out what they were. I got the foaming hornet spray and hosed them at night then waited a week to take the nest down. It got them all.
I’ve had them get inside my bee suit on a ladder my god I wanted to just jump off and take the suit off I climbed down so slow and careful lol. I get stung tons of times every season but the fear of being stung never goes away lol
Two summers ago I struck a hidden yellow jacket nest inside one of the shrubs in front of my house. They chased me from the front, across the back and were still stinging me under the water in the pool. They had latched onto my sweatshirt and sweatpants and still were stinging. I had over 40 "bites" and was taken to the hospital (against my will). I was so mad that when nightfall came i went out with two cans of raid and a flashlight. Moved the flashlight about six feet away from me pointing to the nest and i took aim with both cans of raid and emptied them. There wasn't a single one alive the next day.
A valiant attack indeed! Congrats! I ran over an unknown nest with my lawnmower and got stung around my ankle about by about 10 of them. Fortunately I was about 10 feet away from my privacy fence and small gate mowing a neighbors yard and i ran through and shut the gate and smashed the ones around my ankle with my hands and the rest of them didn't get to me.
I came back with a can of raid at night and sprayed a very strong and long stream down the hole then stomped on the dirt until the hole was shut. At first the dome collapsed and I saw many of them trying to take off so I quickly sprayed again and kept stomping until it was a muddy solid mass of dirt with no hole left. I never saw another one alive after that.
Sounds like something out of a cartoon. 😂 Epic story.
yeah!!!!
Those stings are the worst
I used one those attach it to your hose sprays and drenched my bush. I have no idea where the nest was, but I declared war and won.
It's definitely important to use a quality product like Raid. I once tried to save some money and bought the house brand stuff at a grocery store---when I sprayed the nest with it, the wasps laughed it off like it was water
Just use brake cleaner or any other 100% alcohol. No need for the overpriced "specialist" stuff.

I'm a retired HVAC tech. When I was working I always carried a can of Raid or similar for the times I got a surprise after removing the service panel from a rooftop A/C package. It's a real adrenaline moment! It seemed the spray set off an alarm among the insects and you could pick them off as they tried to escape. Thankfully, I never encountered a nest this big.
Hands down the scariest part of hvac lol. Disconnects and package units lol. I’ve been stung so many times working on ac equipment.
@@sumokid Yup! We all have stories. Always know where the roof edge is.
HVAC here too, i found a nest of 1000s inside an 80% vent. i disconnect vent from furnace and sprayed raid in with a leaf blower.....no bee suit, what an adrenaline rush.
I think that The Hornet King would be appalled at you wasting all of that good chicken and squirrel food, lol.
Try the foaming spray, I think that will kill the larva also, and it prevents them from swarming back out.
Larva will die anyway
Hey super glad to see you back. Approx 4 weeks ago I took many of the tactics I learned on your channel and scored a successful strike on a BFH nest directly outside my 2nd story bedroom window. I waited for night to fall to ensure a full nest. Even after spraying with the petroleum based spray they still came out and flew toward the flashlight which I was shining on them through a CLOSED window. They were banging against that window trying to get at me. The next morning dawned and I burned the remaining larvae. GO BROWNS!!
DID YOU SAY GO CLOWNS ? 😂 🤣 😂 GET READY 2 WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR !

So glad to see you back on here man! Love the videos.
I did mine at night as well; however, I used two different products: an expanding foam spray and a spray with a straw nozzle. I hit the opening up close with the foam and it pretty much prevented them from coming out. Once I was confident that they weren't escaping through the foam, I used the other spray and poked the straw into the side of the nest and sprayed - did this about a dozen times all over the nest until it was relatively soaked in spray. Went out the next morning and it was dead. Definitely recommend spraying at night.
So you tried the insulation spray? How does it do.
@@aaron-dd5zr It wasn't an insulation spray. It was a wasp spray designed for spraying right into the opening of the nest. It then acts like expanding insulation foam and stops them from leaving the nest. It is more like a shaving cream foam that swells up a bit. If they try to crawl through it, it kills them as well. I think the one I used was called: Ortho Wasp B Gon MAX Wasp Killer Foam
I watched this video not knowing what to expect. Man you are crazy to mess with hornets during the day time. So I subscribed so I can see what other crazy things you will do.
I emptied an entire can into a bald faced hornet nest. Those hornets came pouring out of the nest. I guarantee you’ve never seen a 50 year old run as fast as I did. The stuff did work though.
Lol , yeah its funny how fast we can run when pursued by whiteface . Im 59 and think i could still run a 4.7 sec 40 fleeing these buggas. They hurt . Actually killed my 75 year old neighbor , a farmer . He had to have been stung b4 . Im allergic and they say you never know when your body could acquire an allergic reaction. I almost died twice when in teens have been stung a couple 3 or 4 times since and no reaction ? Then in my neighbirs case . His wife said she had 0 idea he was allergic and had to have been stung b4 as a farmer at 75. But 1 whiteface stung the guy and he was dead on the kitchen floor within 30-40 minutes . Never know man . Hate whiteface .c
That nest is scary. Glad there are people that are fearless like you.
Many commenting here are in an exclusive club. Those that have been attacked by a hidden hornet hive HHH. Triple H club members of the world I salute you. And it’s damn good to be here in your company and hear your stories. I love you all. The video was nice too.
I been yellow jacketed that is for sure. The Bald faces , I been fortunate to catch them first.
Here in Scotland I've never seen such huge bees in your gorilla glue video and it's awesome, glad I stumbled across you and looking forward to more content
Wasps can sting repeatedly; bees sting once and pull their guts out when they pull their proboscus.
I'm always fighting with paper wasps and the bald face hornets! Thank you for showing me the tricks to take care of them myself!
When I was working as a cable installer, I'd keep some of that for the yard cable boxes where wasps would build nests. It was great that it had a 25 foot operating stream.
I believe that product is “Jet Bomb”.
That stuff is great. We use that at work too as a lineman for the power company.
Your videos create a buzz on RUclips 😊😊😊
Worked as a Ext. Commercial Painter........Carried a Dollar Store spray bottle filled with Paint Thinner. on my Belt . It worked.
I think im going to get one of those nests. Soak it in one gallon of lacquer/thinner, let it penetrate thoroughly, take it out, dry it for a month or so, slice it on the band saw, lay them in a large wooden frame, fill it with clear epoxy, let it dry, mount it on oil and waxed black walnut table frame
Glad to see you back! Your videos are always filled with useful information.
🎉😊 finally someone used the RAID spray. 5 minutes or less and they're dead. Excellent thank you.
Thanks for the new video 👍 your work is great and especially when you use the dust it's like pranking them and killing them at the same time 😂
It makes my skin crawl just watching this.
Here's one I heard about that might be worth trying. It follows a similar approach used to get rid of problem ants:
Get a reasonably sized open container. Mix about 2tsp of borax powder to 1 cup of applesauce and make more to that ratio depending on the size of the container. Put that in the container and thin it out with water to a more runny consistency. Use a paint stirrer or some kind of stick that the wasps can land on so they can slurp it up. They'll feed on that stuff while seeking out all the sugar, and the borax will poison them in about two weeks.
It'd be interesting to see if it works. If it does, the activity at the problem nest should drop out or cease in a manner that is noticeable. It's supposedly drama-free vs. other approaches, but it would still be neat to see documented if it clears a nest as well as some have claimed.
I did a 5part sugar 1 part borax and mix some water into a slurry for ants in the house.
I left a few drops on the windowsill and it was like a highway to and from the nest.
That was on a Friday night and by Sunday morning I saw nothing.
What’s an ant problem?? Unless they have built a nest inside your home , leave them alone 🙄 I’d bet you’re American… If it moves.. kill it seems to be the American attitude
From one RUclipsr to another, your gorilla glue video was awesome! That’s definitely your niche! The more unique ways to exterminate them the better! I couldn’t comment on that video because you turned the comments off. I know why you did; because too many people will probably think that’s inhumane. Negative comments feed your algorithm too. I would look at it as poetic Justice; people leave you hateful comments, and RUclips promotes your video even more. Lol. So the more negative comments, the better. Just my two cents.
"...people would think that's inhumane..." Dumb paint-chip eating MFers!
I came across a BFH nest this size 20 years ago in a crabapple off our patio. It was there all summer long, coexisting with us using the patio for a kid's pool, BBQs etc.Very lucky I guess, and I didn't even realize there was such a thing as a BFH. Ignorance is bliss, and without benefit of a suit, I took care of it myself. I waited til it was dusk, watching for 1/2 hour as they flew to the nest at a surprising speed. Once Grand Central Station slowed down, I used a whole can of foaming spray in the mouth of nest so they'd have to crawl through the foam as they "escaped." I got by without a sting, but maybe a hundred poured out of the nest like falling rocks. The saturated nest was on the ground in the morning, with no sign of life or hornets trying to return. I lucked out I guess, and I probably wouldn't try it again.
Wow! That Raid really knocked them down fast! I’m a new subscriber; just found you 😉👍!
lol. "I like getting swarmed." Dude, I love you.
Just started watching because I got swarmed by yellowjackets. so satisfying dusting the hole. Now just catching up on your other video's! thanks for the upload!
Good video brother. I only wish you would do this full time, or at least more often. I absolutely love your videos . Please think about doing this more often and frequently. Cheers
I encountered one of these nests last week while trimming a tall shrub. It was about eight feet up. I had no idea it was there. I felt a couple of stings on my back but thought at first it was pine needles that fell under my shirt. Then I noticed some white faced hornets around me. I was on a ladder and the nest was right in front of me. I could see the hornets scrambling out of the nest. I got stung seven times in the back before getting away. I was very lucky. I emptied a can of Raid wasp killer into the hole and then destroyed the nest with high pressure water from a garden hose. I waited a week before finishing the tree trimming. Those things are nasty. I'll check thoroughly for signs of a nest from now on. My back felt like it was on fire for a couple of days. Huge welts.
1st time here Dude you are more awesome than a troll hunter. Great Job Thank You.
Thank you for a new vid man, nice to see you again:) Thank you.
This reminds me of being a kid experimenting on what household products could kill an anthill. I love these videos!
I despise any flying stinging insect! It’s a bad phobia. But watching these videos helps me understand my enemy better. Go Dawgs!
I used to use Drione ( mostly crack & crevice jobs ) I switched to Tempo dust. I find it substantially better at eliminating nests. Have not had to return under warranty even once this year.
Good to see you again! Tks for the show..
I have frequent paper wasp nests popping up around my house/yard. The Raid Wasp and Hornet Spray works great, and I actually like that it loses its toxicity fairly quickly because I have kids and pets in the area.
Looks like the larvae were unaffected and some are about to hatch. What are you going to do with them?
Yayyyyyyyyy!!! Another good content!!! LOVE IT!!! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you for removing a dangerous nest if ever found without a bee suit! I like u doing this in the daytime …. U r like a teacher…. Iam learning… you’re a bit crazy… I like that! I am Seahawk fan! Go Hawks! I am part of the 12th man…. Seattle is an awesome football town…. Loud live…….
Early morning sprays around 7 AM with the foam spray brand I use does the job nicely with a good kill like what you got without getting on a ladder since it shoots out really far. Thanks for the video!
Raid sure works a lot better than some of that other stuff. You spray them and they just get mad at you. Sprayed one with raid earlier and i heard it hit the concrete, thing dropped instantly. Brake clean, at least the one I have, doesn't seem to kill them but sure hits em hard. Makes them easy to finish off.
I attacked one with a propane torch after one of the buggers stung me. The nest was hidden under a dock at a cottage. I cremated them as they tried to exit. And most of the escapees didn’t get too far without wings!
I guess it works, but in my experience, raid products just make the hornets want to go on a raid, there's better products out there. And the best store bought stuff you should try, not a nest treatment but for knocking down a swarm? Is Cutter backyard fogger, comes in a blue and orange can. That's right. That stuff will drop them right out of the sky.
Great to see you back and doing what you emjoy best! Keep 'em.coming!
Nice way to round out my night, new video! Thank you
I do this professionally and I use to try to do those at night. You can't see at night so you might fall off the ladder, they sneak up on you when you don't see it, you trip over kids toys and rocks and everything. I do like to do them in the morning before it gets too hot though...
Love your channel! I especially love the expanding spray foam method. I wonder how they would respond to a few blasts of ether in their entrance hole. Keep up the good work. I look forward to all the creative ways to remove nests. Very entertaining!
Die hard Dolphin’s fan, too! Really enjoy your videos and chose to handle my own wasp nest using your pointers vs paying $350 for professional removal. So, thank you and I'll keep watching the vids! 💪🏽🐬🏈🌴
I got into wasp nest removal after finding many nests on my brush cutting jobs, I use the "bucket of death" for the ground wasps, and either shop vac or spray for above ground nests. A method I would like to try for above ground nests is pour a whole bunch of Dawn dish soap down a garden hose, put the spray nozzle back on, turn the faucet on full blast and let them have it. Have you tried this technique? If not can you try it and make a video? I was also thinking an automotive car wash foamer would do the trick as well.
I did with high pressure water and they attacked the water hose but I did manage to open nest which they didn’t like
Dude you did an incredible job. Thanks
for being brave and for all the info sharing .👍
Thanks! I ended up on your channel as we had wasps in the eves and under the shed. Used dust and no more wasps. With Raid they would just move to another spot.
Hornet grubs make very good hook bait for fishing !
A few years ago I found a wasp nest just chillin right near my patio and grabbed some of the Raid, I wasn't very confident it'd do anything based on past experience with big brand insect sprays but man, I gave that nest a spray and they were dead in seconds. Raid is some good shit.
When I used to paint houses on a crew, I was always amazed at what a few good bursts of latex house paint would do...
1) They can't flick it off their wings, flapping their wings just makes it dry immediately, and renders them too heavy to fly.
2) It immediately blinds them, it covers their eyes and they can't get it off.
Obviously, can't use it in all situations because of over spray concers. And not everyone has a sprayer...but hmmmm....I bet a can of fast dry primer would also work wonders.
Just keep spraying small bursts and they drop like rocks and die.
If you were to do it at night and you used a light would that agitate them
Thank you for making this video during the daytime so we could view it!! Have a similar nest and would like to perform this same procedure but I do not have the special clothing. Any suggestions on clothing to best protect myself. Thank you gain for your close up video!
I always watch what you put out!
Used the raid foam on hornet's ,dusk, foam plugs hole ,all dead,approx 70 -80 ,,,,also did a yellow jacket in ground( they actually carry pebbles away) nonstop all day so midnight tried the pint of rubbing alcohol, down the hole ,morning no survivors ,it's war every summer,no suit ,,,,get thanks for your time,stay safe
Comment for the algorithm 🎉
There simply is nothing like the hornet king. It’s something about his process and how long he takes.
thanks for putting this info up, about to deal with a nest of these this size tonight !!
I had a Hornets nest about the size of a basket ball, my neighbor said she was being attached by them when eating out side. After looking around we saw this nest high on the roof next to the chimney. My adult son climbed up a ladder in order to spray the nest with the Raid 20 ft sprayer which was supposed to kill hornets on contact. He soaked the nest thoroughly waited a minute then knocked the nest down breaking it to pieces, there were lots of dead hornets. We had no more problems. I have used the spray on the fence nests at Sun down which is after they return to the nest, I just stand at a distance spray and soak the nests.
Welcome back mate, always good to see you upload
Spectracide makes the best wasp foam
The foaming spray expands better. Fill all the nooks and crannies of the nest.
I took out a nest last week. Snuck up at night, no suit, stood about 12 feet away and emptied a can of Spectracide on it. The only thing that happened was I got a nasty sting on my neck. Got a metallic taste in my mouth, then nearly passed out . Next day the nest was still there.
Round two: again at night, wore my bee suit, emptied a can of Raid, plus a can and a half of Spectracide, and finally the liquid soaked through the nest and I was able to knock it down.
But even when spraying, direct hits did nothing to the wasps themselves! Even after the nest was knocked down, I never found a body!
Although the nest was identical to yours, my wasps had a yellow tint to there bodies. And they were mean.
8:20 is a huge dopamine spike in video form. Thank you for dealing with these monstrosities.
Ive noticed the spray doesnt work on larvae. So after spraying, the kids use gel blasters and go full auto on the hive until its gone. Gel blasters are great for paper wasps that are unreachable.
Wow, I didn’t realize how great RAID works! Amazing work! Hope you get a chance to chill on your day off!
8:06 "Mrs. Queen right there, she wants to say hello. She's like shit they got me" 😂😂😂
thanks for doing these videos for us brotha, keep it up, they are very enjoyable and educational to watch stay safe my man!
Yeah! I like the Raid, I carry it in my Landscaping Truck.
Fill the entrance nice first, then spray the hole thing . Then get a second can
Simple answer is yes it does work but it all depends on the size and therefore numbers of wasps inside. I’ve done at least
a dozen small nests with not one sting to show. I was surprised that these wasps didn’t die immediately the raid I use is
an instant drop to the ground for the wasps and comes out more of a vapour. It’s essential to ensure no wasps are flying
back to the nest as these will sting you. I did mine after dark and never tackled any nest about a soft ball size.
This one’s a football size and far to risky without
protective gear.
I'm not sure if Raid makes the foaming type of Hornet killer, but if you can get some of the foaming kind it will expand into the nest and cover the entrance/exit and none will come out, and you can just leave it, after spraying it. Come back later, or not. It will kill all that are in the nest and any that try to enter it. Even a nest that size won't require a whole can. Much safer.
I used Spectracide RPO liquid spray, not foam, for an in-ground Yellowjacket nest, administered after dark. Wasn’t optimistic it would penetrate well enough, but surprisingly, wiped out the entire population.
We had a nest like hat hanging from our tree but is was to high and the spray wouldn’t reach it.
I used a garden hose with a high pressure nozzle and a 6’ ladder.
As long as I kept the water going I wasn’t attacked. I sprayed the hose until the nest fell from the tree and then I destroyed the nest with water and the next day the bees were gone.
It was s great score! High quality video. Glad you got as close as you did! Oh yeah Baltimore is my NFL team, but I'm a die hard Alabama fan so i find myself always rooting for Tua in Miami too!
I found a big nest on the eaves under our roof (3 story house). Used a painting extension pole and a remote spraying hookup thingy I found on Amazon. Did it after dusk but before dark, so everybody was home but couldn't find me in the dim light. Worst part was dealing with the spray that filtered down toward my face.
Yep, I use pne of those spray hookup thingies with a long cord and a "trigger" on a long extension pole. Works great for under the eaves of a tall structure or in my orchard high up in a tree.
The overspray that ends up on your head is not fun if you ad not planned for it and have some sort of head and eye protection.
You are a most incredible brave man. Thank you for your service in Florida. Hugs and kisses.😊
Try brake kleen. I swear, it will knock them out of the air on contact. It’s non flammable and it drys them up in a nanosecond. Sucks the moisture out of them. I’ve used it for years. You can buy it at any automotive parts store in America. Either works just as good too.
you could drop the wasp nest into a plastic bag and then place in the freezer for hour it kills everything in a matter of mins they are all dead. you can take it out a few hours later and take apart the wasp nest piece by piece. it is super fun and easy.
Microwave works too
*Never before have I seen hornets large as small cockroaches and certainly not here in Florida. Haven't had to use it for awhile so nice to know Raid Wasp & Hornet still does the job. The barbarian in me waits for dark, then seals the opening and coats the nest with whatever spray adhesive is on hand. 3M 77 works well in that application. Just let it hang for a few days. Slow death and no escape is Schadenfreudlich. Smiling Eyes on Boughton road closed, then Dr Varney opened as Bolingbrook Eye Care same location. Visited them in 2018 to straighten and refit a Zeiss frame. They were nice folks. Cheers!*
Good to see you again. Good job getting those nasty things. 👍😊
Remember the old classic commercials where the animated insects shouted in terror, "RRRAAAAIIIIDDDD??????!!!!!!" before exploding? Man, those were the best.
I have always had good luck with Raid brand wasp and hornet spray. Great video.
I'm here in North Florida and I have NEVER SEEN A Bald faced Hornet 🐝or Nest like that in these Parts.
Some parts wash or brake cleaner is great for general bug killin’. And if they aren’t dying you can always ignite.
You are so brave! I hate the buzzing! 😲😬😳
I have subscribed to you and hope your utube channel grows
I am rooting for the Cleveland Browns baby!! Hopefully no serious injuries.
Raid can also kill everything around the nest, so what you want to do is, at night, climb up to the nest and hit the hole with the foam that expands to fill in cracks. Keep pumping it in the hive and I guarantee that the nest and all the bees will be dead in the morning. And the foam doesn't cause collateral damage to other insects nearby.
I’m a Dolphins fan Tooo!
Thank you for the tips! Wish me luck, I have a huge nest by the entrance of my door!
@@annicksanmiguel8945 good luck, just wait till it’s dark out and stand like 10-15 feet away soak it with the whole can and remove it the next day
