‘I’m not usually scared:’ Exterminator fought monstrous hornet nest

[Theinquisition]

Thats where you grab a flame thrower and burn the entire thing down.

o.O

Agreed, I'd of called it a loss and set it ablaze.

Pshh whatever, he was wearing a suit.

THIS is butthole-puckering:

Omg, the related videos.

[endersblade]

I couldn't find the full vid or anything, but the 4ish minute one on that website made me question: WHY did he not spray/torch that fucking thing? He points out the queen on several occasions, but if all he does is destroy the nest, aren't they just going to relocate?

[Dragon Claws]

Anyone else get that feeling to scrunch your neck while listening to that audio?

Me. I noped the fuck out of that video pretty fast too.

[Trassk]

Mother of god. Someone give that guy a medal.

No, let's not. As some pointed out on the full YouTube video of this, the way this guy handled this was extremely unprofessional.

For a nest that size, the shed should have been covered over to keep the majority contained, and then the whole thing fumigated to kill them off, then destroy the nest when all are dead.

Instead he broke apart the nest releasing several thousand very pissed off hornets into the countryside, meaning their spread out can could attack people, destroy crops, maybe even kill people.

I didn't see anything professional about this.

Imagine wading through a knee deep layer of dead hornets when you go destroy the nest after gasing them.

Well, he's an exterminator, right? More business for him.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Yeah a flamethrower seems necessary.

Just watching this video made my butthole pucker

My fucking skin is crawling just hearing these fuckers.

[Rennadrel]

You'd need a few cases of Raid in order to kill all those bastards.

[Kreo]

Whatever he made on that job, it wasn't enough.
Also feel bad for people nearby, now they have to deal with million angry homeless hornets.
Was gassing them ever an option?

[LiiLoSNK]

He didn't get stung once. The suit literally removes anything scary about this.

Forget that, I'd nuke it from orbit.

What if instead of bunkers filled with nazis it would have been bunkers filled with hornet nests?

Nazi wasps...

You'll love this =D

better dead ones then alive in that case.

That suit doesn't change the fact that he was literally swarmed by giant hornets that wanted nothing more than to sting him to death. That, in and of itself, is horrifying.

That's like saying that going to the zoo is horrifying because 90% of the animals inside would kill a human if they weren't in cages.

[Twinkelle]

I could be wrong, but those look like wasps, not hornets.

I'm not sure if America uses those terms differently than we do over here.

Either way, I sure as shit wouldn't be doing what he's doing.

[spdr]

How long would that have had to be neglected for it to get that big?

I did a little reading on Wikipedia, and apparently colonies of yellowjackets are supposed to die off annually, but under the right conditions can last for years with multiple queens inside.
