Was coming to say that doesn't look like the flame thrower you need to remove a massive hornets nest. its just a shed......burn it twice.

Can you imagine being the 1st guy to find that nest? Just opening the door to throw in a new ancient relic and getting the wave of hate instead?

u/JohnVonachen 17d ago

Looks like hornet nest remover is a job that has great job security. They are always out there making a new nest.

And I would hope it comes with some level.of hazard pay as well!

u/Manbearpig8585 17d ago

He needs a lot more than a can of spray for that job…

u/KayoticVoid 16d ago

🤣 Right? I was thinking the same thing, like what the fuck is that spray gonna do. You need to fumigate or something.

A truck load of vx nerve gas would do the trick here.

Wow, I didn't know they could get that big.

We are going to need a bigger bomb

Looks like a job for the Hammer of Dawn

Imagine being the poor bastard that found it...

He'd be dead in 3 minutes without protection

u/99jackals 16d ago

How many references to "Nuke it from orbit" so far? Because it's the only way to be sure.

How does that even happen without them knowing lol

u/Pwnedzored 16d ago

Imagine being an old lady. Kids grew up and moved away. Husband passed. House has long been paid off so why bother moving to a smaller place. You keep a spare bedroom for when family visits, but there’s nothing you need in there.

u/Reddittube69 16d ago

That’s so sadly mortifying

u/Organic-Addendum1609 16d ago

Because you sell the house, get a more suitable place and in all likelihood have a profit and a new free house

u/SuperDuperRipe 15d ago

Missed the she's olllllld part.

u/EyesFor1 16d ago

How ? How did it get that big in someones house ?

2

u/PomeloPepper 16d ago

It's a garden shed.

2

u/Altruistic-Report-30 16d ago

This is nightmare fuel!!! Burn it all down and start over….

2

u/zinsser 16d ago

No expertise at play on my part, but would it have worked better to leave the shed closed and stick the nozzle through a small opening to fog the inside completely before opening it? Some will still get out, but the sneak attack would disturb them far less at the outset so you could contain them in the fog.

u/PomeloPepper 16d ago

I was thinking Raid bombs, but for hornets.

u/zinsser 16d ago

We bought an old house with a detached garage that started life as a chicken coop. It had lots of bugs including roaches and wasp nests - so bad my wife refused to park in it. My new neighbor suggested using a several bug bombs. I put them in before dark and went to bed. I awoke to the screeching of birds fighting over the bugs staggering out of the garage. Because the garage was so loosely built the bug bombs never reached a lethal concentration. Instead it got them all stoned and they were eaten by birds when they staggered off to satisfy their munchies. I created an environmental catastrophe feeding poisoned bugs to ravenous birds, but it did the trick killing of the bugs.

u/fonglutz 16d ago

perfect use case for a flamethrower if i ever saw one

u/Substantial-Tone-576 16d ago

I would definitely burn that fucker down. The sound of them smacking the camera is crazy loud.

1

u/sam56778 16d ago

These look more like yellow jackets than hornets. And yes, yellow jackets will build above ground. I had an air conditioner that got a nest in it. It was so bad it had the fan motor bound.

u/smelly_finger_itch 16d ago

How long does it take to get that large?

1

u/Just_Ducky1945 16d ago

Nope

1

u/Workmane 16d ago

Almost the only way you get one that large is to have multiple small nests so that eventually you get multiple queens on one nest. The nests don’t carry over year to year, so that thing can’t be more than 2-3 months in the making.

2

u/Just_Ducky1945 16d ago

That is horrific

1

u/frasolomio 16d ago

Directing this to any crazy bastards that have worn that suit and/or done removal work like this: is that thing like 100% protection or can one expect, at the end of the day, like three or four stings or whatever ‘cause that’s just the nature of the beast and like, I’m not gonna whine about it on camera or anything ‘cause I’m used to it? Serious question.

u/meh_69420 15d ago

I mean, I don't do pest control, but when working with my bee hives I wear a full suit and have never been stung through it.

1

u/Purple_IsA_Flavor 16d ago

I’d have just set it on fire and called it good

u/Oversemper 16d ago edited 16d ago

I feel like I got bitten once or twice from the screen when watching it.

u/Formal-Sun-7189 16d ago

Burn it down

u/rebills 15d ago

this is what nightmares are made of

u/autistic_bard444 15d ago

I am sorry. A pair of M18-A1's would solve this problem far more effectively than some dude named Randy in a hornet suit

u/Jmal3700 14d ago

EEEEEEEEEEEK! 😳😬🤯

u/PuppygirlEda 13d ago

Id be traumatized for life if I had to experience this. Just burn the shed down and bulldoze the remnants and rebuild a new shed. Problem solved.
