call a professional.... you don't want to deal with the after-effects

Yes - attack it with a pressure washer, this is absolutely the best approach.

Please, film the proceedings and post them on RS.

I had one of those in a tree near my house. It was really hard to get down so I'm not sure a pressure washer would even do the trick.

Regardless, I ended up getting it down by cutting the branch down and then zippo fluid and fire. Lots of it.

It's just unfortunate that I didn't film it.

Just slash it with a knife and wear something to protect your eyes :drunk:

If you want to tackle it yourself, buy some of the foam hornet/wasp spray and wait until night time before attacking it. I do it all the time.

gdoh 07-13-2013 04:45 PM

what ever you do make sure to film it for educational purposes =]

racerman88 07-13-2013 05:05 PM

can't remember which store it is, but I remember seeing Raid on sale in a flyer for this week.
The pressure washer will only piss them off. Raid will at least stun them

Acura604 07-13-2013 05:05 PM

I dunno. I got 10ft on this nest with my pressure washer.

Will attempt tonight. Stay tuned for news1130 breaking news "man dies after being stung 100 times"

This happened with someone else on RS before where the nest was in his shed, and he killed it with fire. it was amazing and he filmed it for all of us as well..

Can you do the same plz.

Acura604 07-13-2013 07:15 PM

Done but I was under attack and you'll notice me waving my
pressure washer wand around to fight them off. I'm sure I got stung once or twice.

I hit it at full blast as u can see it was partially destroyed.

But there was this honeycomb like structure attached to my house. Looked crazy.


Here, the attachment finally gets blown apart.

After the victory they returned looking for
their destroyed base of operations. A few buzz around looking to salvage their outpost.

The wasp grubs make excellent fish bait.
Keep them in the freezer.

SoNaRWaVe 07-13-2013 10:41 PM

damn, late to the party. i was hoping this!


Zedbra 07-14-2013 11:40 AM

Brave man to go in with a pressure washer. Poison or fire would have been my preferred method

GLOW 07-14-2013 01:11 PM

at the end OP must be feelin' like....zerg has been defeated...

Holy Christ... Did a recon mission today ..looks like they are already making
a new one - probably a new and improved death star!!

..looks like poison is my next weapon.

Didn't last year some RS'r scoped up a whole hive and set it on fire at a school?

604STIG 07-15-2013 04:15 PM

Let them rebuild, then trial by fire. Don't forget to record.

MR_BIGGS 07-15-2013 04:31 PM

This thread delivers.
