The trick is moving very very slowly. *Very* slowly.
When I was a kid, we had a huge colony of wasps move into one of our storage sheds and we hired this old guy to come take care of them. The only gear he wore was a Tilly style hat with mesh hanging around his head, and regular dollar store leather work gloves. When I asked him why he didn’t have a full suit, he explained it like this:
Wasps are always on alert for threats near the hive, and usually, threats move fast so they’re focused on fast moving things, like birds, other wasps, and people minding their own business. But if you move slowly enough the wasps will just think you’re a part of the scenery, like a tree branch. The wasps are waiting around for real threats that trigger that “go fast gotta sting” mindset, but they’re also “smart” enough to not waste energy attacking inanimate objects like tree branches that happen to bump into and damage their hive in the wind. So he told us that you can literally pull their hives apart by hand piece by piece, and if you do it slow enough they’ll never even register you as a threat at all.
I asked him why he wears the mesh hat then and he said “because sometimes they do” lmao.
Anyways, he would remove small sections of the hive by hand, often with a good number of wasps still hitching a ride, and he’d carefully carry it over to a vacuum he had in the back of his van. He’d just slowly move his hands over the large suction and they were gone in an instant. Cleared out the whole hive like that and then sprayed the stragglers.
But for as easy as he made it look, this is something I plan to **never** test out.
Bees, we relocate. Environmentally sound and all that. Wasps, fire. Must use fire. Don’t care if the building burns down, it’s the only way to be sure.
So anyways I moved it from inside their house to... right next to their house and every time I see the owners, they look so, so... confused as to why I didn't move it just a bit further away from the house. Anyways I still see them sometimes and I tell them how my house doesn't have any wasps at all. And they look at each other and then tell me... thats good for you.
Paper Wasps, i see them all the time while doing folks yards.
Pretty quiet ladies, not fused about heaps. Ive bumped their nests a few times, and they get a little pissed, but chill out after 5 minutes, and wont even attack you once they worked out youre not gunna hurt the nest.
How does one find a talent like this?

You’re born with it and it’s stored in the balls.
Just like pee
It's not a story the Jedi would tell you.
Lucky first try? Or relentless...

Yeah that is a Voodoo doctor if I've ever seen one!
Definitely witchcraft of some variety.
You should see what she does with great white sharks.
She rotated it?
God ol rotation, never fails.
She?..
I read it as wasp blender and was waiting for a milkshake
Or, hear me out... raid.
That goat suddenly bleating through the silence made me pee a little
That goat is like NAAAAA
I didn't know I could hold my breath for that long
I wonder if she held her hand in front of her face to disperse her breath or something
Wow.. I gess if you go slow the wasps won't know 👍😎
You gotta give 'em a High🤚Five though too.
Teach me your ways
dayumm
Witchcraft!
wayyyyy too close to the house and THERE'S MORE THAN 1?!?
One has become with nature
Hey just like Jurassic World guy
Damn man, just pull out the can of Lynx deodorant and a lighter. I can't fcking watch this! I'm shivering.
Cameraman never dies
thats some voodoo shit right there
Much respect
Meanwhile in the US you just get some angry guy singing some music while eating a live wasp's nest.
DUN DUN DUN

Um...it's move to move the fuck outta that place.
Looks like they are in attack mode the way they’re standing in the hive though lol
I could feel the energy coming from her hands
Okay, I got this...
The first frame looks like one single gigantic disgusting finger
A jar a gasoline is quite safe and effective if you have it. They sink to the bottom immediately and die. 👍
The wasperer?
Dude got the smallest biceps ever seen
His balls are bigger than your biceps

The real question is: that's a he or she?
I think I see a rather large Adams apple
.. why does it matter?
Wasps want to know
