Possums are amazing have around. They are not a carrier of rabies.. They eat thousands of ticks per night!! Also people don't like bats but they eat 2000 mosquitoes on average per night
I was 12 years old walking through the woods behind my house when I stepped on a nest and I felt the ground literally drop. All I heard were the bees and felt repetitive stings as I stripped to my underwear and socks by the time I was home (2 blocks) and they were STILL chasing me. I got inside and my mom took my socks off to notice there were some that got IN my socks and stung me enough times to remove meat from around my ankles. I went into shock on the couch after my mom called 911 and I was rushed to the hospital where they stabilized me and put baking soda on the over 140 stings they could count. (Not counting the repetitive ones around my ankles) One of the worst experiences I've ever been through.
This is one reason I LOVE skunks. I sometimes get yellow jackets in my yard waste compost piles from not turning them. The skunks come through and dig them up over night.
I used to like skunks… then my dog wanted to say hi and she smelled nasty for weeks until I just decided to get her shaved. I used Skunk odor remover immediately but she still smelled. I do think I hate bugs more than skunky dog though tbh
About 15 years ago, my husband was in the woods doing some metal detecting when a nest of yellow jackets attacked him. They must’ve stung him at least 50 times before he got far enough away that they stopped chasing & attacking him. These things are no joke… his forearms swelled so badly that I worried his skin would split.
When I was a little kid back in the early 1960s, my Daddy was mowing the back yard and suddenly started dancing the Macarena! He left the motor running and began CHARGING towards me screaming, "SQUIRT ME WITH THE GARDEN HOSE!!! SQUIRT ME WITH THE GARDEN HOSE!!!" and like a good little boy, I did what I was told!!! 😆 LOL!
Nice. Growing up the in South, I ran across these things constantly. My favorite solution was always to use those giant smoke bomb sticks (Mammoth Smokes!) that you could get at fireworks stands. They produce GOBS of smoke, which very rapidly sedate and then smother the entire nest (the heat they produce also helps). Very effective, and fun to watch the smoke seep up through the soil all around the nest, looks super creepy 😂
Ah yes. The infamous ground-dwelling yellow jackets. My brother and I were building a mountain bike trail a few years ago. We were raking the leaves/straw off the trail. I heard something buzz by my ear, and thought it was a horsefly. Looked over at my brother and realized we were both covered in yellow jackets. We brushed off as many as we could, then ran like hell all the way out of the woods. They chased us all the way to the truck.
Bee suits actually do very little against yellow jackets. You have to wear fleece lined jeans and a sweatshirt to make it thick enough that the stingers won't get through. Relocated a natural bumble bee nest with a suit and heavy clothes and still got hit 10 times.
I watched a momma bear in my backyard dig out one of those nests last summer, it was awesome! Took a minute to figure out what she was doing but she either HATED yello jackets or loved eating the larvae lol, it was fierce!
wow, thank you for this suggestion as I kept wondering how you keep adding dry ice as he said while those wasps get really pissed off and not everyone has that astronaut bee suit!
I discovered that a little spray glue works great for this. Just spray the entrance down and you don't even have to run. The ones exposed will not be able to fly, the ones that come out will get stuck as well.
😂 I mean, you are allowed to say you're at war with them, but them like any animal, just want food. In saying that them, mosquitos, tsetse flies, ticks, bed bugs, lice and leeches are good for nothing but sucking blood! At least wasps/hornets don't suck blood and spread disease, but they're both easily aggravated. I frankly don't like them either, but I understand they're existence.
Almost everything alive requires oxygen to breathe. The dry ice suffocates them, and the cold will also kill them. It's not an instant kill unless they're in contact with it. The ones that were flying around were likely already out of the nest, and returned to find the commotion.
@@castleanthrax1833 everything alive requires oxygen to breathe, except trees, grass, mushrooms, flowers, bacteria, viruses, that fish parasite they discovered a couple years ago....
Carbon dioxide is heavier than air, it's why when going into a wine cellar you used to hold a candle at waist height. Dry ice is frozen CO2 so would fill the entire nest with very cold carbon dioxide, very thorough way to ensure the entire nest dies
I’m pretty sure he knows what CO2 is. The point of his question is that they still looked pretty agitated when he dug it up, so the CO2 seemingly did nothing. I had the same question, and I’m a chemist.
When I was younger I was kind of Dumb and Put a Water hose in the Hole and Turned it on I quickly Found out it was a Big Nest and they had another Exit
I 100% support the suffering of yellow jackets. Me, my brother, and a couple of our friends were just chilling outside when my brother walked by a yellow jacket nest. They all got pissed off and stung my brother. We literally ran back to our house and they chased us at least a 1/4 mile. Once we got inside, 2 more chased us and stung my friend and my brother again. So yea i hate yellow jackets lol
@@devdecker7812 nah. Theyre a nuisance but far from useless. They eat piles of other actually usless nuisance insects that you dont want around either
@@billdurkee8824 we can't be sure. My stance is that of the all disappeared, everything would be fine lol any niche they filled could quickly be taken over by less aggressive stingy assholes
@tw8245 They're much better pest control rather than pollinators due to their lack of fuzziness. They're only beneficial when they're not nested in our trash.
I think the active ones were the ones outside the nest. Hard to really destroy them because the open air makes it more difficult compared to their chamber underground. That’s just my assumption, but it’s possible that the skunk and possum ate the rest of them as well.
I work for FedEx and delivered daily to a soda pop facility. They would take salad bowls and fill them up with the syrup for sprite. They have them lined up everywhere and they were all full 100's of yellow jackets. They get stuck in the syrup and die
@@larsbambi1575 It is actually leathal to bugs. Humans tolerate them only because we are so heavy and the stuff is so sweet. But for bugs where for a human a few micrograms per weight kilo wouldl be true, for a bug it's gram for a gram, 1000 times a deadly dose.
I filled up a gallon bucket with sugar, added water tell it was all a liquid or syrup. Add bird seed mix into the sugar mix. Poured it down the hole at night. A possum or a skunk came and dug out the yellow jackets and ate them. I bet they thought that was delicious! No stains on my part!
Usually, if there skunks around they will find the yellow jacket nest themselves and dig it up. They have an excellent senses of smell and hearing. I don’t know if they’re immune to the stinging or if they just fumigate the nest and render the adult yellow jackets senseless.
Since most people don't have access to dry ice, several gallons of hot soapy water poured slowly into the hole after dark when all the yellow jackets are back in the nest works just as good or better.
I got called to work late one night. As I left the driveway there was a skunk digging in the yard. When I returned he was still there. Next morning he was gone and the yellow jacket nest was destroyed. I had no idea until I saw it.
For anyone that doesn’t know: GROWND YELLOWJACKETS ARE LIKE LANDMINES I stepped on a couple of them over the years… both times people ended up in ambulances
Idk HOW I didn't end up in the hospital. Those fxckers literally chased us into the car, got into my clothes, and we were STILL KILLING them after the car ride back inside the apartment! I learned a VERY important lesson to never wander into high grass or branches, and always watch where you pee!!!
@@ImakulatDeuxI hope you went back and showed them a little Sapiens pride. I would've started off by unloading my shotgun into the nest to piss them off. Then, when they come to deal with me... PSYCH! FIELD OF FIRE!!! I was never even close to the nest! Worth any death and destruction that follows. Of all the insects in the world, they deserve extermination the second most. Don't ask what happens when i find a mosquito nest...
They are some vicious little critters. Left my lawnmower run over a nest till it ran out of gas just before dusk. After dark I drowned it with gasoline and put a match to it before dawn. I dug up the nest, it was as big as a soccer ball. Amazing.
@@Walleyedwosaik I killed them because they were only 20 yards from my door and had attacked my dog. Otherwise I would have left them bee, so to speak.
In my landscaping business we run into these guys occasionally. You never know they're there until they start stinging. And they don't stop until you run as far away as possible. I'm sure the neighbors watching must really enjoy watching some guy just randomly start sprinting across a front yard slapping the backs of his legs!
Ran into a baldface hornet nest last fall doing some fire prevention on the property... I've never been stung like that in my life. Easily 300 bites and they chased me well over 2000 feet. I decided that was enuff for the day.
I'm a landscaper down here in SW Florida. Had a guy call us up to come mow his vacant house he's trying to sell. I mow through about 75% of the yard when I stumble not only into a bees nest by the AC unit, but also a YJ nest in the ground about 15ft away from the bees. I kindly grabbed my high-powered blower and blew both nests and both species kindly flew off. I guess they didn't like the smell of gasoline. Either, they never returned after that.
One of the funniest things ive seen is when a skunk and possum were eating my chicken food in the night together from the same bowl like they were family. Most the times they would fight though
I was stung over 200 times as a kid when I went fishing with my dad. It might not have been the same species, I'm not sure. But I was walking around a pond to get a better spot to cast from and my entire foot sank into a nest. I was immediately covered head to toe in so many bees that my dad decided it best to pick me up and throw me into the pond to get them all off of me. Good times. Best part? I developed an allergy to them as an adult 💀
@@youtubestuff683 How does that even work? I got stung a lot of times as a kid and what I'm now is basically inmune to the pain of a bee or wasp sting, not allergic 💀
I usually find a couple in-ground nests every year while mowing. I wait until late evening when they're less active, pour a little gas in the hole, and set it on fire.
That's a whole lot of unnecessary work if all you want is to kill the nest. Ant nests make for an interesting aluminum cast with all their tunnels and chambers. Yellow jackets just create a round cavity for their nest, so if you should excavate it, you'll just get a basket ball size lump of dirty aluminium.
That explains why there are more yellow jackets around my area. All their natural predators have disappeared. I used to love finding the babies and going up them. They would stomp at me and run away. So cute.
2 animals I dislike dispatching: Skunks and Opossum. Skunks eat mice, rats, and yellow jackets. Opossum collect and eat ticks.
They don't eat them around here. If they did they would never leave the woods. Lots of ticks around here.
We love skunks and opposums around here.
Opossum also eat all kinds of snakes!
Possums are amazing have around.
They are not a carrier of rabies..
They eat thousands of ticks per night!!
Also people don't like bats but they eat 2000 mosquitoes on average per night
why would you dispatch them
Finally, someone feeding the good guys.
Yep, a good reason to keep skunks around. I pet a momma skunk and gave her and the babies grapes. They didn't stink me at all
Killing yellow jackets you promote the death of our planet.

But I was walking around a pond to get a better spot to cast from and my entire foot sank into a nest. I was immediately covered head to toe in so many bees that my dad decided it best to pick me up and throw me into the pond to get them all off of me. Good times.
Best part? I developed an allergy to them as an adult 💀
Yea my dad got stung so many times as a kid he's now deathly allergic
@@youtubestuff683 How does that even work? I got stung a lot of times as a kid and what I'm now is basically inmune to the pain of a bee or wasp sting, not allergic 💀
Man that is terrifying to visualize. I am glad you survived. I would totally scream.

You’re just built different.
I bet the skunks had a wonderful feast!!
Costume change like it wasn’t noticeable
Skunk: "these r my grubs, get your own"
I did not know skunks eat yellow jacket nests... I learned something today.
Did not know yellow jackets were in the ground. Sure loved seeing the skunk and opossum
I always thought they lived at concession stand trash cans.
@@piscinaiv7937 haaaaaa, right on! They are actually meat eaters looking for scraps!
oh, yeah, they'll build ground nests. Found one while mowing my yard once.
I usually find a couple in-ground nests every year while mowing. I wait until late evening when they're less active, pour a little gas in the hole, and set it on fire.
It's a different species of yellowjacket/hornet. They're much MUCH more aggressive than other hornets/yellowjackets.
That skunk was like “eww gross a possum!”
I read somewhere that molten aluminum works too.
That's a whole lot of unnecessary work if all you want is to kill the nest.
Ant nests make for an interesting aluminum cast with all their tunnels and chambers. Yellow jackets just create a round cavity for their nest, so if you should excavate it, you'll just get a basket ball size lump of dirty aluminium.
Those ground yellow jackets are nasty. We had a nest in our yard some years ago. I got stung just being no less than 5 feet from it.
Freezes an empire of wax and hatred using dry ice
Skunk: Mmm snacc
Skunks: Dinner time :3
Wasps: OH SH-
that was the cutest battle for food I've seen
I stirred up a nest when I was weedeating my neighbors yard a few years ago and got stung by 6 yellow jackets. It was pure agony for a solid 26 hours.
Armageddon descended upon the yellow jackets in no time.
No yellowjackets were harmed during the making of this video.
That explains why there are more yellow jackets around my area. All their natural predators have disappeared. I used to love finding the babies and going up them. They would stomp at me and run away. So cute.
I did not expect the skunks, ima be real with you
You've been feeding that skunk well!
*THAT WAS LIKE A HONEY BUN TO THE SKUNKS* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My skunks dig them up on their own. I love skunks.
“…we’re gonna feed to the skunks; because yellow jackets aren’t annoying enough!”
