Monster yellow jacket nest
 

Man, I wouldn't want to be anywhere NEAR that place! And I sure as heck hope I never open up the door to my shed and see something like this.

So don't leave the shed unattended for too long!

I think I would take a vacation at least 2 states away while some professionals got rid of that thing for me. :ack2::thumbsup:

I would think that would kill someone if they went into that shed.

Yeah, I believe that too, and it likely wouldn't take long at all. Just one sting from a yellow jacket hurts like hell. I couldn't imagine getting stung by hundreds or even thousands of them.

Someone wandering into that shed not paying attention would be in for a world of hurt.

I got nailed by 5 of them walking in the woods. Most have stepped on a under ground nest. They really hurt more than a wasp sting.

Yeah, I've been trying to keep a sharp eye out while walking around on our property this time of year. We usually have to wipe out a couple of nests every year, but so far we haven't found any. And we've actually been doing a lot of brush clearing lately around the house so I've been on full alert for any suspicious looking holes in the ground or flying insects coming off of the ground. Actually you can't even trust a place you walked through just a few days ago, because it seems they create an active nest very rapidly.

A couple of years ago we were away for a few days, and when we came back a yellow jacket nest had set up shop right along the path between the carport and the house. We walked in through the front door of the house and I heard a strange buzzing noise. I thought something electrical was going awry, but then I felt a sharp pain on my left leg. Then another on my right leg. I was able to swat the four yellow jackets clinging to my pants legs before another one could land a punch. They were just buzzing their wings to beat hell while looking for a spot to plant their stinger. Evidently they had either grabbed onto my clothes, or else chased me to the front porch as I passed by their nest. I had no regret whatsoever destroying that nest and it's nasty occupants. A couple of days later FedEx delivered a package and I noticed the driver was making a wide berth walking around that area to deliver the package. She said that she had gotten nailed by several yellow jackets there too several days ago. That particular colony seemed to be especially aggressive, so I was glad I was able to remove that gene pool from the area.

Man, this video just makes my skin crawl.

How would you like to be taking a stroll through the woods and just stumble up against something like this?

MAN, someone could get severely killed by those critters!
It also appears that they don't have a sense of humor either.
They looked to be attacking him even before he started towards
the nest. Wonder what he used to kill them? Looks like whatever
it was, it was GOOD. Probably don't sell that stuff at Lowe's or
Home Depot.........
