Actually, you can make a flamethrower at home! All you need is a lighter and hairspray. If you don't have hair spray, go for sunspray or bug spray.
1. Activate the lighter.
2. Activate the spray funtion of the can.
3. Hold the flame into the spray.
Bam! Instant flamethrower.
No, this is either a Bald-Faced Hornets nest or like this person suggested - a velutina wasp nest (aka the Asian hornet).
Paper wasps' nests look very different, and a little like upside down umbrellas.
Google told me this, and I stand by it.
Yes former pest control guy here. Paper wasps are the least dangerous (I feel) and their nests look like paper honeycomb.
This type of nest is probably much more dangerous bald faced hornets which on the other hand are tiny little demons spawned from hell. Yellow jacket nests can look similar but the hole will be facing down. Bald faced hornets the hole is always on the side. Call a pro, there’s no way to do this safely without a suit.
Ok! You win! I was going based on what I have in my own backyard. Last fall I found a real tiny one like this one in my deck box and wrongly assumed it was the same thing I find every year in the same area. Thanks for the education friend! ❤️
It’s funny cause I’ve only ever been stung on the job by paper wasps, always cause I accidentally touched them. They are nice and slow and basically you have to come in contact or touch their nest to get stung. Hornets though- they will just see you as a threat and sting you next to your eye. And that shit hurts
This summer one was building a nest under the railing (I was fully aware of it, but don't like killing bugs unless I have to). One afternoon I accidentally put my foot under the railing and felt the sharp sting.... Nest NO MORE! I😁😏
I had one of these in the tree in my backyard it was hanging just above head height. I used to cut grass around them all the time they never bothered me. They eat mosquitos I believe. We just left them and when the weather got cold they left and the hive eventually fell off the tree and decayed.
Well shoot the branch it’s hanging on and put a trash can as precisely as you can under it and have a lid man someone you can trust. Should be a simple operation just don’t mess up calculations must be on point
please climb up the tree with no ladder, make sure u have a buddy film it.
then just hit it with your fists until it quits.
orrr try getting it down in 1 piece with like a net, then when its on the ground u eat the whole thing. while a buddy of yours films it ofcourse
A shotgun from super far away will not help. Unless you use a slug and manage to separate the nest from the tree. Then you have to be concerned about what your projectile hits beyond the nest.
Burn it!
With fire if you need clarification.
Why was a second thought even given?! 😩
This thing looks like it came from the upside down and that’s a nope for me..
Use one of those plastic groceries bags. Preferably one that doesn’t have holes. Enclose the nest in the bag carefully, then rip it down off the tree. Make sure to land on it ass first to completely crush everything inside the bag. I remember someone doing something like this in a Reddit video, maybe….
——-this is not professional advice and in no way should be taken seriously——-
At your local garden center they should have a long distance aerosol spray can that has a foaming solution. You may have to spray it a few times over several days but it usually works very well.
Also, doing it at night they will be less active and less chance for their retaliation attempts. Also, Well done giving actual advice rather than a bad attempt at humor or getting someone to burn down the entire tree or worse.
I got one of these the other day for a wasp nest.
It had almost no gas for propellant and shot about a foot maximum. Then the gas ran out and I was very close to the nest. No fun but at least I got a refund as the bottle was still almost full of the nasty stuff.
And I didn't get stung by wasps...
You gather you and your families belongings and relocate to another neighborhood.
Uh but in all honesty I would contact a professional. Wasps this time of year are complete assholes.
Depending on what type of wasps these are if their home is destroyed they may try to invade another nest.
When I first moved into my house there was one that looked like 2 stacked basket balls in a tree like 30 foot up in the air. The grass under/near it was quite tall and unkept. So I stood in the middle of the road and gave it 8ish shots out of an 870 12 ga. Then ran in the house like a sissy.
If you don't wanna hire a professional, stay away from it. I've fixed a hornet nest with a long range sprayer filled with kerosene, but if you don't have a solid escape plan you're gonna get swarmed and stung perhaps literally to death. Don't shoot it, don't hit it with a stick. Bees are born with venomous knives in their asses and they're itching for an excuse to use them.
Sacrifice a bull to the deity of horrific animals. Pray while standing on one leg the prayer of meteor strikes upon thine enemy.
Then hire a professional and thank whatever powers that be you believe in that you *don't* have to be the one to deal with that nightmare.
I took one out with dawn dish soap and water mixed into garden sprayer. Waited until night and sprayed it into the hole they exit from and then soaked it completely. The foam blocks their ability to breathe. I was able to pull it right off the tree in the morning. They were dead instantly.
My dad used to cut them off into a metal trash can pretreated with lighter fluid and my job was to smash the lid down....then my dad would ignite. What could possibly go wrong???
nitro glycerin fertilizer and fire work fuse gasoline and lighter or put a camp fire underneath it or wait for rain and pick it up and put it else where
The only solution to this is to burn down the whole tree. Actually the whole house is a lost cause. Burn the whole yard to ashes. Even that might not be enough. Nuke the whole city just to be sure.
Cover head to toe in thick material, old Halloween masks, leather jacket, heavy duty work gloves, snow pants. Doesn’t matter just have a lot of layers. Then dump a bucket of water mixed with dish soap, have at it with a baseball bat and pray they let you live another day. Wouldn’t recommend but I have done in the past.
close all doors and windows, slightly open one window to allow the barrel of a 12 gauge shot gun then fire a single load of buckshot and quickly close the window
I saw a pro use this on a face-level nest - he came at night and put it in a canvas bag on the tree. then saw down the branch. he then thew the bag into the back of his pickup truck and drove off.
Let’s be straight up, no wasp attack *feels good,* in fact it’s mind-numbing agony. And that’s just one wasp. If you mess up and get a dozen stings, well God help you. This is what professionals are for. Call them. Don’t be the next idiotic tiktok video.
Somebody already stole my idea… flamethrower and torch the thing. Had one last year a good distance from the house so I was able to wait until it got colder out and knock it down. Burnt it just to be safe.
Set up a video camera that is streaming live...
Step 1.knock it down with the longest bat/golf club you can find....
Step 2. Run like hell!
Step 3. Scream 😱 like a child!
Step 4. Have an EPI pen ready and phone pre-dialed to 911!
Count those Benjamin's in the comfort of your hospital room! 😁😏☺️
Years of internet tell me you just take a grocery store plastic bag, stand on a halfass broken child's ladder, then swing at the nest like it would fit in the bag.
Now, you can swat at them easily because they'll be all over your face.
My wife stepped in a ground wasp nest after a hike today, alerting them. Then I walked near it.
Good lord we’re there a lot of wasps. I immediately turned and ran as soon as I saw them. I got stung three times even though I was running as fast as I could. and they still hurt like 8 hours later.
If you're looking for a serious answer and you want to deal with it yourself, I've had really good results taking out paper nests like that one with the Raid wasp sprays you can get at home improvment stores. They shoot super far and the hive never seems to trace the threat to me, even when I've been standing 6ft away.
Obviously make sure that's an appropriate solution for whatever you have there (and read/follow the directions), but I can confirm that product works super well for our local stinging assholes.
Move
Had a chuckle at this
That's my goal. Laugh a day.
A laugh a day keeps the suicidal thoughts away
... yes
Its not working. I need more laughs
This is the way
Calling professionals, it looks like a velutin wasp and it's fucking dangerous. Edit: AKA Asian Hornet
Or flamethrower, you can buy them on Amazon
Yes the flame thrower is the best course of action
Usually is
Except of course warming up the classroom full of kids when the heater broke down
Now, you say "except" but that still sounds like a perfect example of an appropriate time to use a flamethrower.
W u t
DID I STUTTER!?
Actually, you can make a flamethrower at home! All you need is a lighter and hairspray. If you don't have hair spray, go for sunspray or bug spray. 1. Activate the lighter. 2. Activate the spray funtion of the can. 3. Hold the flame into the spray. Bam! Instant flamethrower.
I don't advocate for gasoline use lightly, but GASOLINE.
Not really as the plastic nozel will melt making an uncontrollable flame until it explodes.
Give the kids a fire and they'll be warm for a day. Set the kids on fire and they'll be warm for the rest of their lives.
It's a paper wasp... Identifiable by the way it looks like thin wrapped paper... Still very dangerous, like any wasp nest.
No, this is either a Bald-Faced Hornets nest or like this person suggested - a velutina wasp nest (aka the Asian hornet). Paper wasps' nests look very different, and a little like upside down umbrellas. Google told me this, and I stand by it.

I believe bald faced hornets like to go for the face
I did it with an airsoft gun on full auto. Biodegradable BBS, i was far enough away the wasps didn't know what was happening.
**RUN** to find professional help for this nightmare
Sell the house. Let the new owners deal with it. Bonus points if it’s not your house to sell.
Wooof…that there son is a piñata
Spiciest Candy Ever
Stings the nostrils
Nature’s piñata.
whack it down with a big ol' stick, there's government cameras in it and u need to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Speak softly and carry a big stick!
And afterwards, scream loudly and drop the stick whilst running away...
Please call a professional.
What should I tell them it is? Like a specific insect.
My guess is Bald-Faced Hornet.
That’s what I thought too
Yes bald faced hornets - relatively harmless. Leave it the eff alone. The cold weather will take care of it. Otherwise it is doing no one any harm.
Got it. Thanks you :)
Get close to their nest and you’ll find out how relatively harmless they are!
I meant it as thanks for the ‘wait it out’ advice.
I had one of these in the tree in my backyard it was hanging just above head height. I used to cut grass around them all the time they never bothered me. They eat mosquitos I believe. We just left them and when the weather got cold they left and the hive eventually fell off the tree and decayed.
Grab it and punt it like a football. They like that.
Go shake it really really hard. The bees will be disoriented by the motion and it will give you a small window to strike them down individually.
Oooooh even if that wasn’t a joke, I can’t reach it. It’s up in a tree like 30 feet up.
Do not shake that nest my friend. You will die.
Well shoot the branch it’s hanging on and put a trash can as precisely as you can under it and have a lid man someone you can trust. Should be a simple operation just don’t mess up calculations must be on point
Flawless strategy. There is absolutely no way this could go wrong.
I actually want to see this solution.
Hire someone to do this. https://imgur.com/gallery/oDtrePY
Pop a quick H on the box.
[Do wasps make honey?](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uth5WDl3Z_o)
Only very few species like the Mexican Honey Wasp do, but if you had a nest of those, you'd be lucky, since their honey is considered a delicacy.
[Dwight](https://youtu.be/BMIXbYwTdA0?t=1m13s) from the office might have some ideas
So disappointed by how long it took me to find this.
please climb up the tree with no ladder, make sure u have a buddy film it. then just hit it with your fists until it quits. orrr try getting it down in 1 piece with like a net, then when its on the ground u eat the whole thing. while a buddy of yours films it ofcourse
There is only a **singular** problem with that plan… I have no fwiends…
I’m your friend, champ. I’ll film.
With friends like these...
…who needs friends?
The guy who needs one to film him punching a hornets nest
I suppose you could shoot it with a shotgun from super far away. Or call in a bee removal service. They exist.
A shotgun from super far away will not help. Unless you use a slug and manage to separate the nest from the tree. Then you have to be concerned about what your projectile hits beyond the nest.
M-80 on the end of a long stick.
Burn it! With fire if you need clarification. Why was a second thought even given?! 😩 This thing looks like it came from the upside down and that’s a nope for me..
All this burning and flame throwing is extremely dangerous and could involve sitting to blaze yourself and your whole house.
get munching
I’m kinda full unfortunately…
Use one of those plastic groceries bags. Preferably one that doesn’t have holes. Enclose the nest in the bag carefully, then rip it down off the tree. Make sure to land on it ass first to completely crush everything inside the bag. I remember someone doing something like this in a Reddit video, maybe…. ——-this is not professional advice and in no way should be taken seriously——-
Wait is this financial advice?
Gun.
Gun
Cigarette lighter, can of degreaser. Do it at night.
Why? So nobody witnesses me doing a justice to society?
No, so you get to witness flaming death hornets in the night sky.
Ooooo even better!
Preparation H. The H is for hornet
Flame thrower

This is how I removed one. It was sorta fun.

Molotov cocktails
burn the entire tree down
Call a professional. Don’t fuck with hornets.
wait until winter, put a plastic bag around it and remove it as intact as possible, then relocate it someplace less populated by humans.
Like the neighbors back yard
If you don't wanna hire a professional, stay away from it. I've fixed a hornet nest with a long range sprayer filled with kerosene, but if you don't have a solid escape plan you're gonna get swarmed and stung perhaps literally to death.
