Wow... Those little bastards are pissed!

 

They are probably like: "Just take those suits off Dudes, I dare ya!"

 

 

You'd think theyd use an indistrial vacuum that could suck those little bastards up!

Holy smokes.....rhe guy definitely earned his check that day. Better be damn confident in your PPE. I'm allergic to yellow jackets and white faced hornets. No way I'm getting near that mess.

WOW!! 

 

There was a smaller case in the Houston area in a lady's bathroom.

 

It was discovered during demo  from Hurricane Harvey.

I wonder how long it took to get that out of control.  Obviously, somebody wasn't using shed.  The trolling motor looks kind of new.  Didn't catch where it was, must be warm climate??

I was wondering the same thing. How does this happen without anyone noticing.

 

Good job by that guy doing this all by himself.

So what happens to all those hornets when he takes away their home?

Total chaos!  Total chaos I tell you!

 

Anyway... Back in August I was on roof wiping out a wasp/hornet's nest (whatever)... Then a month later yellowjackets under the arborvitae... I got to wondering what purpose do wasps, yellowjackets, and hornets serve in nature?  I had a hunch they are here to keep other insects in check... But wasps, if I recall help in the production of grapes/wine making too.

 

So there you have it.

I wonder what the bill was for the "removal" job?  Is it guaranteed?

Yeah.  But the guarantee has one important maintenance stipulation. It's called:

 

"Open your shed every 6 months and stop being a lazy jack-ass."

That's what I was thinking...neighbors must be kinda pissed.

 

I think I'd have tossed some gas on it, closed the door and torched the whole shed and hopefully most of those little !@#$ers with it.

Too bad he did have one of these bad boy toys! Hornets be no match for the Vac-U-Max!

Man - those suckers got some kind of hacked off when he went into the shed.  And did you notice that someone in the background mentioned that a bear got into the shed about a month earlier.

 

And in closing - three words - NO FRIGGIN WAY
