Help with Yellowjackets

Lighting it is how many many burn injuries happen. Kerosene you can light, gas you don't wanna fuck with.

The solution to a flying insect problem is bigger flying insects.

Spoiler: show

and the solution to those insects is EAGLES.

This is one of many reasons why I never plan to set foot on Japanese soil.

What is...I don't even...

How can you say something like that? The burn injuries are because the ID 10 T didn't understand enough about chemistry to even be looking at gasoline in a can behind a closed window.

Gas is probably the best thing you can get to learn how to play with fire...the high learning curve serves Darwin pretty nicely too.

Whatever you do, take video of it.

FUCK BEES OF ANY KIND

the traps work pretty good to at least get them the fuck away from being in your house.

Bumblebees are awesome and so are honey bees.

You may be right, but I will still scream and flail my arms when they are within a 5 foot radius of me

This thread is great fun. I'd go with torching the neighborhood, personally. Chances are you hate most of your neighbors anyway.

[Yuri-G]

gasoline would be fine. so would kerosene. white gas would probably be better than either one of those. it's all in how you use it. get enough on the nest to light up nice and easy, then let the nest burn on its own. the nest is the main source of fuel; whatever else you use is just starter to make it easy.

or you could try soaking the nest in fuel and seeing how that works.

or you could also try spraying the nest with fuel.

or you could try making a DIY flamethrower.

hell, there are a lot of things I'd love to see you try. just wouldn't recommend 'em myself.

edit: I'm an idiot and didn't fully read the first post. it's a nest in the ground, eh? that... well, shit. good luck. I really have no idea what I'd do with that.

[Acevalefor]

Just turn on the water hose, spray it in an arc in front of you, walk toward the nest, spray the nest and the ground around the nest with anything oily. Something like WD40, Marvel Mystery Oil, etc. Lubricating oils work best because they stick to anything they touch. Remember to keep the water on while you are doing this so your ass is covered.

somebody should start recommending remedies for hornet stings.

Symptoms of a severe insect sting allergy (called an anaphylactic reaction) may include one or more of the following:
Difficulty breathing
Hives that appear as a red, itchy rash and spread to areas beyond the sting
Swelling of the face, throat, or mouth tissue
Wheezing or difficulty swallowing
Restlessness and anxiety
Rapid pulse
Dizziness or a sharp drop in blood pressure

Although severe allergic reactions are not that common, they can lead to shock, cardiac arrest, and unconsciousness in 10 minutes or less. This type of reaction can occur within minutes after a sting and can be fatal. Get emergency treatment as soon as possible.

Damn nature, you scary

[Dimmauk]

Use smoke bombs...lots and lots of smoke bombs.

I agree with the videotaping also

You mean like an Epipen?

I have most of those symptoms and I ain't even stung

Wait till dusk (when they aren't active) and pour gasoline down the hole, works like a charm.

This actually reminds me of when my dad tried to cut a wasp's nest down from a tree. He waited till dusk and put a trash bag around the nest and started to cut the branch. Then the step on the ladder he was standing on broke, and he he fell down the ladder, pulling the nest with him. The nest broke in half and he was chased down the street by a thousand angry wasps. I lol'ed uncontrollably for the next hour or so.

Kinda surprised only one person suggested it, but do whatever at night.

Pretty sure that's the worst thing to do in that situation.

[Shenrien]

wait until its night time, they sleep/rest/whatever, and thats your best time to do whatever it is you need to do.
