- This is a How To Video for removing Yellow Jackets or wasps using a Shop Vac. No chemicals are used other than a little dish soap in the Sho Vac.
(Update 2014: Here is a picture of this year's haul of Yellow Jackets)

That shopvac is a fairly large one. Maybe 16 or 18 inches across.
I swear I’ve seen the peak of human creativity watching YT wasp-killing homevideos
I was just telling my husband that!!!
love you 😘
"My wife thinks I'm stupid.....let me turn it back on"
"They look pissed......let me turn it back on"
😂😂
This is why women live longer than men lol
That's the type of guy I'd be friends with! 😂🤣
@@yourbestfiend512what are you yappin about
You had me at "bungee cords holding a broom handle to a ladder"
Good ol' American ingenuity!
Oh totally!
I can’t believe how happy I got watching each one shloomp down the tube. I definitely wanted some kind of video game noise for each one, along with a high score total; +100 for each evil wasp. Someone please give us an edit!!
I remember when I used to work in landscaping there was a yellow jacket nest in the ground of the one property we were cleaning up. We left a weed wacker running and left it over the hole for awhile to get rid of them. You could say it was like a tornado cutting them in half when they would try to fly in and out of their nest
established your own, "no flying zone" over their nest, lol. some would also probably call that "respawn camping", however, yellow jackets are no game, so it works.
😂😂😂👏👏👏
Used to do landscaping too. Idk why we never tried that 😂
😢I find you LEAVE THEM ALONE and they will leave you alone.. but no .... that's no fun is it better to get and turn on wacker to cut them down.
Yes it's fun to watch if your brain works like that... or doesn't work.
Leave them alone until they grow into a next of thousands one some innocent person accidentally makes them mad and gets killed
I was stunk 6 times today when I inadvertently found a nest.
Thanks for this video, I will launch my counter-attack tomorrow.
So...
How did it go?
@@dabiggs9519 this nigga dead
Are you still alive niga?
I wonder what the wasps were thinking, one second you're chillin' and kickin' it with your wasp homies the next you're in a dark chasm filled with death and despair.
Sounds like my life. Just I skipped the chillin and homies part
Like a Walmart run
I remember a similar feeling of hopelessness and despair. Nowhere to go but down a spiraling tunnel to the pits of hell...then I got my divorce.
sounds like marriage
I want some of your weed
4-5 hours of a shopvac? Your neighbours must have been pleased.
lasher500 Oh they probably are because the wasps are gone. ;)
Thats possible.
That was oddly satisfying to watch.
Not odd at all, just satisfying :)
Yeah not odd at all, those fuckers deserve to die in hell
I loved it! Completely satisfying seeing all those dead bees. 👍🏻🍻
Everytime a yellowjacket dies an angel gets its wings.
Nothing more satisfying than watching a video like this after you just left work because you got stung too many times
How nice that this gentleman wants to vacuum wasps and yellow jackets so that he has the cleanest bugs in town!
I did this yesterday. It worked perfect with over 1,000 yellow jackets in 5 hours. Waited overnight and sealed up the hole. All GONE. Genius!
After being stung 5 times the other day, I am going to war with the yellow jackets! Thank you!
As a guy who HATES HATES HATES HATES yellow jackets and wasps in general (I mean they truly are second only to vicious spiders), I LOVED THIS.
For me, they are the top of my hit list.
Outstanding. When you said your wife called you stupid I was like yep she's probably right. You really showed her.
I'm glad I found this video. I'm starting to have an issue with yellowjackets building a nest in front of my house. They found a crack in the brick mortar and just started a few weeks back (maybe about 30 coming going going at the moment). I have tried spraying it every night, but with the way the brick is, it must be a labyrinth in there and the poison just isn't reaching far enough in. I set up a trap about 5 feet away, but have only caught a few.
I was actually thinking of trying this, and your video has given me confirmation that it does work.
Wish me luck!
Shop Vacs are great for so many reasons. I had to do this years ago when we replaced our windows. There was a huge yellow jacket nest in the wall under the window in our bedroom. I shoved the hose in the hole turned on the Shop Vac , ran out of the room and closed the door. I let it run for about 30 or 40 minutes and problem solved.
I watched this twice… not because I missed something the first time. Super cool dude
I bet the neighbours are really happy about listening to a vacuum for 5 hours straight.
I did exactly the same thing years ago. The best time to do this is just before dusk. The bees are returning and are more focused on getting into the hive because they can't navigate after dark.

Stupidity ,Pure stupidity! That's it , kill our life sustaining pollinaters. Way to go morons!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@markdemell8056 you're slow af
Thanks for this video. I had a hive under a concrete stoop in the front of my house. I ran my shop vac for approx. 1hr., and killed several hundred yellow jackets. Worked like a charm!! Thanks!!
How much was your electric bill that month? Electrifying!
My kind of justice. I've taken to using this method, although I actually bought a beekeeping jacket and veil because it seems like every summer I'm having to remove a variety of critters. Either it's yellow jackets, paper wasps or bald-faced hornets. Sometimes I'll have to remove multiple hornet nests and other years I won't see any. They're actually pretty easy because they conveniently place their solitary entrance right in the front of the hive where it's easy to access. Paper Wasps and Yellow Jackets are the usual guests around my house for sure. Ever since I bought the jacket, stings have been very minimal. The only time I've ever gotten stung is when I wasn't paying attention and the side of my face was touching the screen on the hood and they'll sting right through it no problem. I don't use this method of tying the shop vac up and walking away. I actually take the shop vac myself right to the entrance, which I can afford to do since I have some protection.
Other times, I'll use a puffer with Drione dust. That's also an incredibly effective method, and I tend to use that for in-ground nests of yellow jackets. Just make sure to do it at night and scout out for any secondary entrances/exits before hand. The dust really gets them quick and it's pretty safe stuff to use. It's mostly just silica.
The only thing is, sometimes people get a little hasty and think just because they've killed them and destroyed the nest, the problem is solved. If you're using a method that doesn't leave chemicals, you need to make sure if you're dealing with a void space around the house or in the soffit for example, you need to make sure you close up any gaps or holes that they used to establish their nest. I don't know if the same applies for wasps or not, but with bees...once a nest has been established somewhere once, other bees can recognize that even if the hive/nest is long since removed. They can sense that another colony called that home at one point and are attracted to that. I don't know if wasps or hornets behave the same way but I don't take chances. Gotta make sure you seal up any void spaces around the house. When spring comes around, go around and check the perimeter of the house to make sure there's no void spaces anywhere. If you don't do this, I promise you you'll have critters hanging around come summer. Especially if you live in hotter climates. Sometimes it can't be helped due to the construction of a home but be proactive if possible.
I've read you should always leave the old nest in situ if possible, wasps and hornets will never use an empty nest.All you're doing if you remove one is making room for another.
What a "sucky" video. This seems to be the most effective way to get rid of this particular type of pest. Thanks for posting!
I'm doing this right now. So excited about not being scared of that part of my house.
It always amazed me when I did this - just how strong some of the bees are when they got near the opening - before getting sucked-in the hose. I was just a homeowner and did this for only myself and a couple neighbors.
I just tried your technique and I'm more than satisfied. This problem is now gone. Many thanks for a great video.
After they are removed, put some caulk deep down in the crevice, pack in some steel wool, then seal the outside again with some more caulk. They can't get through the steel wool easily.
***** Careful with steel wool - it'll decompose and while doing so pose fire and electrical hazards.
Little bits of metal can get into electrical boxes and create pathways for electricity. Metal filings and electrical devices do not mix. And accidents or wear can create unseen weak spots in insulation.
Thank you for this video! I had a hive of yellow jackets. U saved me hundreds of dollars and pain and aggravation. This works 100%
Ben doing this for years. It works like a charm. After you're done spray some Sevin dust in the opening.
Best Pet and Child Safe Wasp Removal ever! I used this last year on several large underground nests and this year the nests remain empty. It is important to re-suck the nest in a couple days to catch any new hatch or scraglers.
But did you get the queen? What about all the larva in the wall that’s going to hatch?
who will feed the larva? they cant eat walls
@@Ryuudo123 Unless the Queen is eliminated she will reestablish the nest. That is her only role in life.
Larvae don't hatch, they pupate (a cocoon-like resting stage) then those hatch into adults.... provided the entry point is sealed , this method will often be enough to eliminate the colony. As for the queen re-establishing the nest unless taken out, she is a slave not a master and makes no decisions nor issues any orders as she is merely an egg laying machine. All Hymenoptera who make queens can do so at will, albeit not instantly. Without access to the outside world for food, starvation will finish the job. Sometimes the approach being taken here results in the wasps ending up inside the home, as they are now trapped in a dark place and any point of light that leads into the home will look like a spotlight to them.
Worked well for me. Thank you for sharing sir.
My buddy sent me this video...I set up a rig just about like it and it worked GREAT! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS HELPFUL IDEA!
Simply one of the greatest wasp exterminating videos ever, wonderful job dude. 🔥
Thanks for sharing this excellent method. I had the same problem: yellow jackets under the siding. Worked very well, and I could see the progress instead of spraying them with something and hoping it was effective. Besides my shopvac needed to be washed inside.
Mark Tothill 5% Sevin dust will work.
“After hours of sucking “ 😂 😂 very genius solution to use the vac
Thank you for the video. I've been battling yellow jackets at the ranch and our house this year. Tired of using the spray and I've bought $200 worth of traps and bait. I'm going to use the vacuum for the hive that is in the barn and shed.
Just tried this.. Worked like a charm. Thanks man!! My haul was even bigger!
I would offer two suggestions :
1) Do this in the evening just before the sun goes down; there will be a very constant stream of wasps returning to their nest.
2) On my shop vac, there is an outlet that would allow the wasps to escape if they avoided the water. Put a bit of screen door mesh over the outlet.
Well done.
Yeah i wondered if they were getting sucked in thin blown out the whole. If they didn't contact water first.
One tip - once you eliminate most of them - caulk up the opening they were going into. Problem solved forever.
Who going to volunteer to get up on ladder and stick their fingers into angry wasp nest with a caulk gun?
@Breaker Soccer all right everybody back to you respective cloners
@@Dr.Stein99 - that's the reason why you use a CAULK GUN, rather than fingers.
@@Dr.Stein99 lets get Mikey !!! Mikey will do it !!! (life Cereal reference)
@@@Dr.Stein99 Do it at night when it's cool outside. All the little bastards will be in the nest
then you won't have to worry about getting stung.
BRILLIANT!!, After watching this 3 times I had to do it! . Mine was 15 ft high tho, luckily I had a 24 ft discharge hose from my sump pump, and for a shop vac used an bissell carpet cleaning machine ( just like a shop vac) tied the hose to a 2x4 14 footer and turned it on,BAMM, STARTED SUCKING UP WASPS! like crazy,it works great,then a knock on the front door,lady wanted me to turn off high pitched noise,I explained to her I'm allergic to wasps so no,she insisted,I said I'll see if I can muffle it,HELL NO, i go check and it's still sucking wasps,knock on door,it's the COPS, explained it to them and offered to show them the setup on back deck they said no,so I kept on ,1/2 hr later knock on door,a different neighbor,none of these neighbors I recognize, so half HR later I just turned it off, I'll bring my real shop vac over tomorrow and fire up again,I'm afraid to open the first one to see the dead (I HOPE) wasps , I'll update tomorrow.
no update yet, i'm starting to get worried
Yellowjacket videos are my go to when I’m bored
To anyone thinking of using this method: Problem is that the nest is still active, the queen is still alive and larva are still hatching. But if you're okay with repeating the process every couple seasons I guess it's on you. Just know that every passing season the nest will get bigger and harder to knock down.
Best practice is to use this method to thin out the workers and then attack the nest. I havent had to use this method yet, most of my nests have been obliterated with spray or fire. I have a stubborn ground nest this year entrance in an old buried railroad tie. Since they are using the cracks as the entrance there is no real clear entrance. I have tried Diatomaceous earth so far and doesnt seem to be working. Going to try and drown them tomorrow night with some soap. The nest doesnt seem to be too aggressive yet, but it is has become more active and needs to die.
It takes hundreds out of the air which is a success to me. You can get closer to treat too
At 1:58 "..that's my wife telling me I'm stupid." Par for the course. Did she tell you that you were brilliant after you succeeded then? LOL
I love how women tell guys they are stupid.We try and fail but one day,one day........We come in all burned and say I DID IT!!!
99 fail and 1 win.Well worth it.
Typical women comments...Regardless of race, origin or color...Men never right never win....Sad
If it works, it ain't stupid.
Let her go after the hornets then. Let's see who gets stung.
He gave her the spanking she deserved.
This really works, with the advantage that poisons are not used and the wasps are removed rather than left dead in the wall or siding. I used a single extension and a long hose and found that a clip or clamp on the siding can hold the tube in place at the entry point. Catches them coming and going but takes several hours to get them all. Then seal the opening with caulking to prevent future infestation.
Great idea and was done effortlessly and efficiently...now plug up the hole line with white caulking glue! Well done!
Update is that although this greatly reduced the numbers, it seems there were about 50 new ones hatching daily. Aerosol poison into the hole didn't reach the hive and didn't work. I bought Sevin dust and a turkey baster for $6, shot in the dust, and the hive was destroyed within 1 hour.
I did the same thing with diatomaceous earth, it also work like a charm.
Sevin works like magic. My dad thought up a really good design: take one of those refillable air tanks (the kind you can fill at a gas station), and an old tube with a valve stem. Fix up the tube so only 1 end is open, dump a bunch of sevin inside it, attach the air tank to the valve stem, and blast it into the nest at 40 psi. then run fast.
I know they were probably dead but I still felt a little nervous when you opened the shop-vac lid!🐝🐝
Just tried it and you just saved me 250 bucks, thank you my friend!
I hooked up hose to a pole pruner. Nestled the hose end up to the hole, plugged it in and it's working like a charm so far. This is a huge colony. I got about 100 in the first hour with a weak vacuum and then upgraded to my neighbor's shop vac.
That extermination tutorial "sucked".
It was a real Buzz Kill
wrr
I have done this with a shop vac and a 16 foot wand I made from ABS Pipe (much lighter than PVC). The wasps aggressively attack the end and get sucked in. I haven't tried the water in the bottom idea. That might make it easier. The pipe reaches up and sucks them away all nice and clean. It also sucks away the paper house they make....
I have not had them chase after me.
brad tittle What did you do with the contents then if you didn't use the soapy water method? Leave them in there to starve?
The suction pulls them into the water. The soap coats their wings preventing them from getting out of the water so they quickly drown. Better fate then starving to death.
An entertaining solution, I love it! We hang a couple of fake, paper wasp nests around our house, and that has worked for us.
Good job Pal. I use a shop/vac for flys, spiders and bugs in the house. I did have the start of a bees nest in the corner of my house by the peak of the roof and used dish wasking liquid in a sprayer on the end of a garden house. After several tries of destroying the nest they went away. Good job Pal.
Did you get rid of the nest? Might wana go up there and check how big it was
Oug. 31st. 2014 I was invaded with yellow jackets for about 2 months now. They entered bottom of my siding near the basement sliding door.
I pulled the siding a bit and sprayed to no avail. Last night I pulled the siding a little bit just trying not to destroy my siding and with a flash light looked to find out that there is no nest there. The nest is under the ply wood, so no wonder that the spray was not effective. And than I saw your clip on how to use the shop vac. Well let me tel you this IT WORKS. I got hundreds in about 3 hours . The activity has slowed down to a crawl and I am hoping to completely get rid of them. I will try sealing the edge of the ply wood to the center block and hope for the best. mean while thank you very much.
Glad to help. Almost a year since I posted this video, and I'm going to set up the shop vac again. The yellow jackets have invaded again about 10 feet away from last year's spot. They really like our front porch for some reason. Every year. I never calked over last year's hole or anything and they never returned. There were still a small number, but it was such a small percentage, that I just let them be and winter did the rest.

@@PrerequisiteName u gotta gget the nest out and spray with soap or something so they do not come back im betting they just changed entry holes and still use the nest as well they leave a scent to find their way back after going out
Pretty slick idea, couldn't stop watching them getting sucked up coming in for landing.👍👍👍
You my friend, are a genius. I put two cans of spray in the siding...no results. Did this technique...done, all gone!!! Thanks
Was wondering when the R-Rated part was coming and thought it would be after the statement of his wife telling him that he was stupid and to get inside....oh well.....🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is why humans are the top of the food chain.
hilarious and profound statement
We are nothing without our instruments and technology.
Yes but we created those tools. And that's why we are at the top lol.
TheMusketITuckedIt This is like saying a Tiger is nothing without it's claws and teeth.
Mostly European white humans. Important to note these days.
This worked fantastic! Thank you for posting this.
best part of this is I'm thinking that since the shopvac also sucks all the air around them, they (mostly) can't release "angry" pheromones so the others don't get alerted to danger in the hive. all around probably the best way to take care of them.
chemicals would result in a lot of dead wasps which would invite roaches in to eat them.
Ever thought about sealing up the crack were they get in? You'd only have to do that one time instead of every year and its a lot less risky.
Good idea if you want them to chew their way into the house. That said this method is reckless. Stirring them up for three hours to avoid using a dust that is organic and applied into the nest sight where there is no way your kids could be exposed.
+bugmanchad Correct but even using an organic dusting will stir them up. As you're applying the dust there will be a few that are not covered and fly out pissed off and attack you and your kids. Using a bee suit while dusting against wasps is useless as they will jab right through it and sting you unless you smoke them out first. This method keeps you away from them and at a very reasonable cost. It's a great idea.
+capthook26 I've treated thousands of nests. I've been stung 3-4 times. I've never been stung through a bee suit. As for the dust stirring the up? It might, but they are no longer able to focus on you as a target.
ManCraftingTM will wearing a few sweaters work? I have a small nest I wanted to vaccume up because it is in a tight spot by my back doorway. I don't have access to a bee suit lol
@@cadavher. Spray the nest with soapy water at night. Problem solved.
Thanks! Just tried this over the weekend and it worked great. I only had about 20 though, much smaller nest, I think it had just started (luckily). After I confirmed they were all gone I blew insect dust into the siding, and in a few days once I know they are dead I'll seal up the hole.
SpyderWeiss did you use a blender for the insect dust? 😂
I have used this method a few times and although the preparation is a PITA it works very well. Mine was on the 3nd floor eaves so I had to have the shop vac in the house with the hose hanging out of the window. I would only make one suggestion. In the very early morning 5:30-6am they are still all in their nest so this is the best time to start the shop vac. Have it set up the night before. That way there is no one pissed at you during the set up and one by one, the "food hunters" come out of their nest looking for food. If your hose is set up right at their point of exit/entry you get 100% of them and it takes less time. But excellent video.
Used your method on a ground nest last week. A+
This is so Red Green show, it hurts
That's quite possibly the best compliment I've ever received.
PrerequisiteName Good effort; not enough duct tape :)
Ahh I miss that show. The second time in my life I could find Canada funny.
Haha so true.
Yay
Electric fly whacker, ductape tape and a few sets of batteries worked for me
That was brilliant..... I've got to red wasp nest at my front door columns. They have been dive bombing and stinging us for two weeks.Tried chemicals and just made them faster,stronger and meaner.....this will be my next treatment. Thanks
Nice video, glad to see you had good success! That is a challenging spot to reach with poison, even if that were what you wanted to do. Now that the colony is gone, I would suggest sealing up those gaps with caulk.
I have a colony of yellowjackets myself this month. Mine is up under the lower edge of vinyl siding, down low, and just over a slab. There's as little as 1" of clearance in most places, so it's too low to use a killer spray. So the next time I have decent weather, I'm gonna give this a 30-60 minute trial period and see how many of the little SOBs I can catch!!
I HAD rigged up my shop-vac already today, but it started raining before I could give 'er a proper go. Had to put the vac inside. WOMP-WOMP :o(
U did a great job clearing out that nest u had to have at least about 100 to 150 yellow jackets in that shopback and u didn't get stung and u protected your family. Congratulations
I've done this, but found that it does not address the thousand or so eggs (many of which are ready to hatch) or the queen and drones who are left behind. You are only capturing workers. Many workers don't leave the nest because they are constructing new nest by eating your wood. Definitely chem treat afterwards.
I agree I would have waited until dark or gone out before sun up and either sprayed the nest with wasp & hornet spray it sprays at least twenty feet or get some of that expandable foam in a can and fill in the crack and it will expand and kill them and keep others from being able too rebuild they all come back into the nest just before dark and don’t come back out until the sun comes up and it warms up enough
Got citric acid and cooking oil.
sealing it is better and your not throwing chems on your stuff seal it up they cant get food they die.
A pump sprayer with a little Dawn dish soap will kill the stragglers about as well as chemical sprays. Just wait till dark and let em have it.
Cool, thats exactly how I do my shop vac (with water+soap). I use it in the honey house in the fall to get rid of the litttle bastards. They like to fly back and forth along the fluorescent light. I just hold the nozzle at one end and they just fly themselves in. I did learn that without the soapy water they just crawl back out. I guess they can hold their breath alot longer than I can!
Had yellow jackets build a hive under ground in my back yard twice. They always have an additional exit when they burrow. I plugged one of the exits with a stick and poured gasoline in the other, lit it up and ran like hell lol. Worked like a charm.
Next time, pour a mason jar half full with gasoline. Then put as much styrofoam in the gas until the gas becomes gelatinous. That, my friend, is napalm. Pour the napalm in the hole at night, lay a piece of newspaper over the hole. Light the newspaper. Stand back. The roaring flame that will shoot out if the hole like a Saturn rocket will guarantee instant termination to every f**king yellow jack and larvae in the nest. You’re welcome!
@@cm1133 lol I like it!!
Wouldn't a wider attachment head work faster?
salaciousBastard Perhaps. My thinking was by restricting the end of the hose, the vacuum would be harder to escape (air moves faster, lower pressure etc.), but a wider end might be better, especially if you have a wider opening. I imagine it's situationally dependent. If anyone has tried. Report back.
@@PrerequisiteName The wider head attachment loses the direct suction because it's not pressed against something to cover the wider opening, like a work bench or carpeting. Think about it. Would a giant 7-11 cup fitted to the end make any difference? Ends up covered on the inside & outside with the pests, but the intake remains the same. Now if you were to attach 2 wide enough tubes on both sides of the bottom of the cup & fitted the tubes into the main tube, you're cookin with gas baby! (More on a more conventional design to follow).
Ok, again, if there were 3 suction holes in a wider head it would serve its purpose much better. An adapter for this purpose can easily be made, in a kit with the special wide head, which we could purchase. Attachment should be clear, not black, so you can see the suction working, if it gets clogged, & it's always cool seeing em getting suck(er)ed in lol.
As is though, works better only on flat surfaces, like getting a bunch off the walls & floors.
One time trying to be cleaver I waited till they were all inside and then caulked the crack they were using as the entrance closed thinking haha enjoy your wet oil based grave and wouldn't you know it those suckers can swim threw caulking and then still fly after you lol 😜
Nice job bro! I will be doing this if i have that problem! Well done
love this method i used 5 cans of the spray from home depot black flag did not work at all the yellow jackets worked right through the spray not one dropped! Saw this video and grabbed my shop vac and my extension pole and went right to work thank you very much i can finsh repointing my friends chimney
ohh no! we are being pulled into a black hole!...This is the option I use when I can't just blow up the nest.
3:53 nauty boiiiii
I did the same, works well, the best time to do it is in the evening before dark when they all come home to nest
Have been using this method for years. A larger opening is more effective. Never used water though, just stuff a rag in vac end and leave it run a couple minutes. Then let it sit for a day.
Rated R for....?

All that sucking.
Succ
Yellow jacket: I don't understand. I was flying home the other day with a pretty good buzz and as I got to my front door, I got sucked down a black hole. I woke up in yellow jacket heaven and saw all of my family. I asked my cousin what the heck was going on and he said the guy living in the house went mad. He said something about his wife yelling at him. He says our nest is still open and the guy comes out every summer and does the same thing. We tried texting our yellow jacket family, but cell phone coverage up here sucks. I guess they are just in for a big buzz kill.
LOL "with a pretty good buzz." You get a gold star for the pun of the day.
LOL BUZZ KILL LOL SECOND PUN
SRR caps
chris bentley I didn’t expect a pun to be this long😂
Wow u were bored!
If you added a smart plug to the end of the power cord and plug it into the wall the smart plug could be controlled by your cell phone. You could even schedule on/off times for cooling down the shop vac. I liked your setup
I just thought of this exact same thing... Googled it found this video.
THANKS for confirming this works, I will try it tomorrow
Prepare to be validated.
3:53 that's what she said
Well, that sucks...
Cause it's a vacum cleaner, it sucks!
MalucoDivino,
And swallows...
I can't wait to try this when the summer comes. But I think I might make a bigger intake on my shop vac so that I can get the ones that are coming and going. Should be fun.
I did an in-ground hive the same way. worked like a charm. I did not use soapy water. I sprayed raid in the suction house while vac was running. All were dead.
Tell your wife next time wait for the results before she starts the old record player
Just let her stand there with the fly swatter.
Bro, easier method. Pour gasoline throughout house, and trail it to the road. Light a match and hold to gasoline trail. This will ignite the gas trail, that just so happens to lead inside their home. Yes, THEIRS. So really, you are not burning down your home, just killing their home with fire. Some will escape and seek revenge. That is why you wear a high temp suit, and ensure you are equipped with a flame thrower to catch any that may attempt to evade death by fire.
This comment is a year old and only 1 like plus mine? Come on people! Comic gold here.
This is a great idea. I have a wasp hive right above my bed in the ceiling. Thankfully they sleep at night or I'd have long painful nights. I'll wear earplugs so the shop vac noise doesn't keep me awake.
Very clever setup, and it works !
good idea, bad electricity bill!
nabil adoui running it for 6 hours costs 1 dollar
And no chemicals, which are even more ecologically harmful.
Ya know id seal it up with some caulk. But the caulk has chemicals in it. Ya know. The caulking gun also has chemicals in it. Jeez. The air emitted from all the wasps inside the vacuum probably has chemicals in it. I'd be careful where you dump that dish water with wasps in it because it probably has chemicals in it. Y'all pipe down with your hippie "chemical" shit.
