@Tee Mack Thank You Tee mack.

relax grandpa, glad I sense enough not to have any kids !!!

I met a guy who had something for that. He was leading a walking funeral procession, right behind the hearse, and had a Doberman Pinscher on a leash. Behind him was about fifty men in a single file following. I was curious and asked the guy whose funeral it was and he pointed to the hearse and said it was his mother-in-law. I then asked why the dog and he said it was the dog that killed her! Credulous I said that couldn't be, that the authorities would destroy the dog and he said, "Nope. He didn't touch her. They can't prove a thing. What he did was to keep acting like he was gonna tear her apart for days on end. And when she was a nervous wreck and scared to death of him, he rushed at her, snarling like he was gonna kill her, and she died of fright! She had a heart attack and dropped dead right there!" Intrigued I asked him, "Say mister. Is there some way I could buy or rent that dog so I can get rid of my mother-in-law too?", and he said... ..."Get in line."

Mothers-in-law

Ask her if she’s heard the good news as you hand her a JW pamphlet ... she probably won’t ever be back.

I wish my Motber-in law was still alive She always kept my side and my wife "in line."

Lol

Wow! Krzysztof, Thank You... By the way where are you? That sounds like a polish name.

You’re very welcome… glad it worked for you.

Whoa! Is Stephen King your neighbor? A nest that big will surely have proliferated and spread out more queens in your area and worse, they’ll have the genes to grow that big as well... Time to mix up some lightning and keep it out there... plus, with that colony gone, more will move in from the surrounding area to take over and fill the void. Good Luck and I’m glad it didn’t kill you... I get stung by my honeybees occasionally but honeybee stings are nothing compared to yellow jacket wasp stings.

@@CaptainWingnut this was about 9 years ago. I have a row of 50 ft pine trees that line my yard.. I live up in the Ozarks.. And I hadn't raked the pine needles under them yet.. so there were 8 inches or so of needles lining the yard in that part of the property. I was actually out weed eating and I felt the first face hit. Thought it was a rock.. then I instantly got stung 4 more times on my face. I knew I was in trouble and ran. They got me over and over before I could run across the property to the house. I was covered in stings. I had dropped the weed eater and so many swarmed it that I could barely see it. One giant pile of jacks. And the entire front of my property.. that yard is about a half acre.. had a MASSIVE swarm. Thousands in the air. I actually called 911 because I was worried about so.many stings and so many in the air. The FD had an exterminator who crawled up to the needles in a bee suit and dumped some powdered poison mix into the hole. When he crawled back he told me he had never seen or imagined a yellow jacket tunnel that long and populated. It's crazy that i didn't know it was there.. but we live in the forest and have several acres and I see wasps en mass everyday.. And just didn't realise their nest was that close to the house itself. Sucked

@@joshythehand2960 I’m serious... Stephen King couldn’t have created a more scary tale...

@@CaptainWingnut very true. I can't lie. I'm a mountain boy and we have all kinds of critters here. I've interacted with so many that I usually don't have a lot of fear of insects, snakes, ect at this point... but this about scared me to death. By the time I got to the porch I was almost having a panic attack. There were just soooooo many. And you are 100% correct about the sting. I couldn't believe how intense each hit was. Felt like somebody was shooting me point blank with a pellet gun. I don't get rattled to often.. but I was shaking and shivering for about 20 minutes after. Again, I thank God it was me. Because I was actually going to have me 12 year old daughter weedeat while I used the tractor .. at the last second I decided to let her mow the back area while i weedeated between the trees. The thought of it happening to her makes me sick to.my stomach all these years latet.

Man that is terrible. Sounds like what happened to my neighbor when we were trail riding. He stepped on the next and and they lit him up. He ran home full sprint. Nearly a quarter mile. Yellow jacket nest was right next to the trail in some weird holes in the ground. They covered the tractor for 2 hours before we could recover it. A few days later i dumped a half gallon of gas in the whole and put a 5 gallon bucket over the top. At night time when they don't fly when they can't see. They were all gone in about a week. Yall be careful out there.

Does it work? Did you noticed fewer wasps and hornets around?

Exactly I have bees in the yard I like to keep around for the sake of my family’s plants but those damn wasps need to go! (Especially when they make their way into my room and wake me up by flying over my face🤣)

There might still be long term ill effects against the pets, in some other way.

Use diatemaceous earth!

@@jrambo7495 Diatomaceous earth works differently... it is a desiccant. It works from the outside drying insects out when they touch it... boric acid works by short circuiting the insects nervous system from the inside. Insects nervous system is totally different from mammals. Boric acid is poisonous to mammals but the quantities have to be seriously high and its very bitter and distasteful. There is currently no scientific or medical data that any mammal has died from boric acid poisoning. It’s all conjecture, (i.e., if it can kill insects so well it will probably kill mammals). A recent European study that caused the banning of boric acid in Europe found that the only effect on mammals was that some rats became infertile, but the kicker is in the data details that everyone seems to ignore... They had to get them to their weight in boric acid... The studies don’t show how they did that, but I’m sure it was force feeding them because it is seriously nasty stuff to eat. I ate some as a kid thinking it was vitamin C and it was TERRIBLE tasting... Today my IQ is 168 so apparently there was no negative effect, or maybe there was,,, maybe I could have had an IQ of 200!! What ever you use, use MORE common sense.

@@CaptainWingnut you incorrect that boric acid short circuits their nervous system. What it actually does is bloat them.

Sorry to hear that. Yes they are insanely terrible here this year. We've had feeders out all summer... they don't want ANY sugar this fall... we've had success with tuna fish, but very watered down... they don't want the meat, just the juice off of it... we just keep adding water laced with boric acid to the tuna cans.

Hi Brad. Boric acid banned where in my country. Can u suggest an alternative please

@@maryduffy4843 Hi Mary. As an insecticide, there really isn’t a good alternative to boric acid. Some say to use bicarbonate of soda or diatomaceous earth, but they don’t work the same way. Boric acid disrupts the digestion process of an insect and then shuts down their nervous system. Baking soda and diatomaceous earth kill insects by dehydration, drying them out. All must be eaten by the insect to kill them. Boron and its by products such as boric acid have been unscientifically banned in some countries as a poison due to some crazy studies where they fed mice unbelievably high quantities. By size ratio, humans could not consume that much. What they found was that it caused infertility in rodents at extremely high doses. Boric acid has been used as a medicinal supplement and still, more in a moment. By the same science they could ban table salt, because if you eat too much it could kill you as well! The most interesting fact to me is that boron and boric acid is in the soil, air and all around us! Where can you get it? Try online. Its used as a dietary supplement (boron citrate) and perhaps you can get it that way (you’ll have to calculate the equivalency). Also, I think you can buy boric acid vaginal suppositories around the world. They are typically 600-800mg of boric acid and are used as a vaginal stabilizer for bacterial vaginosis (yeast infection). You might need a prescription!! The medical data shows that no one has ever died from using them. Maybe, medically, they’re allowed where you live. You would need approx 8 to make a tsp equivalent of boric acid powder. Some have additional ingredients like aloe which would not change the outcome of your insecticide. Good Luck, thanks for watching and subscribing.

@@CaptainWingnut Thank you so much. Great info. Will try and let you know. Love your easy delivery 👍

Another great success story... thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comment... When I was a rat, living in the rat race, I spoke fast and furious. When I retired and moved to the country I was able to slow down. I can speak fast and furious but nowadays, I chose not to. The ranch animals don’t care. It’s so sad that more and more people are so judgmental and critical of each other today. If you’re not perfectly scripted, don’t have perfect cameras, sound and fancy Hollywood editing effects, they feel like they’re being jipped. Everyone has this wayward concept that they are in competition with everyone for everything. Fewer and fewer people think of others and “pay it forward” and conversely more and more people are very selfish thinking only of themselves. It’s just a sign of what I call the “fast food society”. Drive up, order a burger, drive to the next window, pay and get your burger... drive away eating as you drive. No waiting. People want it now... not in 10 seconds...not in 1 min. The tolerance level of people today is down to seconds. How long does it take you to cook a burger? Yeah, right. Everything in life has a cost and more and more people want someone else to pay the cost for them. People pass you on the road just to turn off the road as soon as they pass... This impatience is causing massive stress on people and they don’t realize that they probably won’t live to be as old as I am. Slow down, smell the roses. You don’t have to go through life in competition with everyone and every thing. You’ll die of stress related illnesses long before your time and the sun will still come up again in the East and set in the West.

Please do!

If you’re currently in pest control, this so good, it is a job killer for pest control!! A friend of mine years ago worked for a large pest company and they weren’t allowed to use this because it was so long term...

Thanks Lacey. Boric acid used to be the standard chemical for commercial pest control. One retired guy who had a huge pest control business in California (over 100 trucks) said they used to use this exact recipe (this is where I got it) exclusively for crawling insects. He said it was so effective that they didn’t get call backs to re-treat so the industry moved to other chemicals that weren’t so long term effective. He also told me, and I never researched it, that the chemicals that they use today are worse in toxicity than boric acid. I have another response posted where I break down just how diluted this is on the toxicity scale. Thanks for your reply.

@@CaptainWingnut I think the big online delivery place docked my reviews because of an industry grievance. I might have posted a recipe...they hate when the secrets get out. I don’t want strangers and their chemicals traipsing near me.

Good idea ! But all animals and insects play a part in the balance of ecology which mankind is the latest "Disruptor"of!

I Don't want to be Stung but I would place some Apple juice at least 5ft from my picnic so they join us at a separate table!

@@martinfontana3593 While I honestly appreciate your take on this issue I might add that having milk weeds and any kind of flowers will draw honey and bumble bees to your property and they are not as aggressive as Hornets and wasps are. For the last 3 years we have allowed milk weeds to grow wild here and mowed around them and they came around and haven't left. We have a TON of honey bees and bumble bees that come here every year since so we dont have any issues with pollination. Hopefully, if you are having an issue with that this will help a little bit at least. Plus, if you have a garden dont forget that YOU can pollinate the plants by hand. Weve also done that and been very successful with our little garden crops.

Brilliant! Thank you!

@@CaptainWingnut Is it safe to do this if you have outdoor pets?

@@Red_Hairing Yes, but use common sense... you’re killing flying insects so put it where your outdoor pets (and unsupervised children) can’t get to it.

Will this work with Fire Ants too?

Our Texas red ants are becoming extinct because of the fire ant colonies entering into their nests and annihilating them, I understand. I prefer red ants to fire ants anyday. We played side by side outside when Mom sent us out...to get out of her hair....no bad fire ants back then. I have an acquaintance who tries to preserve his one huge red ant bed on his property by surrounding it with protection from fire ants.

@@CaptainWingnut They are certainly around me. I walked upon a nest that appeared to have been left and armadilloes had dug it up late this winter. Found a paper hornet's nest on a low hanging branch on my property winter before last. Thanks!

@@fomoyearsfofofiv8178 You’re right... I’m a beekeeper and get stung all the time by the bees and a yellow jacket is way more painful...

@@CaptainWingnut I was stung by 5 yellow jackets at once and it felt like the poison was slowly oozing down into the tissues of my legs with a feeling of being re stung again and again for about 8 hours. That was my particular experience with them. I actually get about 2 weeks of a europhoric pain relief with wasp stings these days. Not that I seek them out, but a total flip from how wasps affected me as a kid.

Yellowjacket stings are bad, but nothing compared to the sting of a tarantula hawk!

Awesome, thank you!

You’ll love it. There’s also other comments with different attractants.

Wasps provide some valuable services. Besides killing bad bugs, like you mention, they also clean up road-kill and other organic garbage laying around.

The honey would attract and kill honeybees too. Not cool. Use sugar water instead.

@@edwardgrit3074 Agreed. But if you trying to kill ants in your home, the bees shouldn't get it to it. We had to kill a mess of sugar ants that kept coming through the power outlets and light switches. We made a honey boric acid mix and put it in soda bottle lids (plastic) and carefully slid them into the outlets and put the faceplates back on. There was plenty of room to place the lid without touching any wires. No more ants after a few days.

Yes, wasps are very valuable. They are pollinators and they eat pests that destroy gardens like leaf minors. They love caterpillars, but they also love caterpillars that are beneficial like from the monarch butterfly. I hated wasps until I became an organic gardener. Now I welcome them. They have such a bad reputation unfortunately.

Wasps are good insects. Unless their nest is close-by they don't bother people and should be left alone. If their nest is in an inconvenient place then knock it down early in the morning quickly. They will build elsewhere and you won't see them again.

A recent comment the person said they put it out and never saw WHY’s at the can but they disappeared anyway. They removed the cans and within weeks the WHY’s were back making nests… the cans come back out. I too see them on the ranch pestering the honeybees. I re-energized my hanging jugs with new mixture and while I never see WHY’s at the jugs, within a week I find no more pestering the honeybees. Thanks for a positive comment.

Great comment.

Did he add boric acid also? Or does the vinegar kill the wasps?

No on the boric acid, the trap lures them and traps them inside, most just drown. You just fill the 2ltr and milk jugs 1/4 to halfway, keeps them upright and from blowing away

@@ivyleague3224 Add some boric acid and cure a temporary fix.

Hmm, I thought cedar was supposed to be an insect repellent?

I’ve got a bad ant problem at my garden and sugar water wasn’t their thing... just put diluted honey out yesterday and VIOLA, they’re at the dinner table... 10 days from now... POOF!

How did it go?

@@rachelrumker3240 it works wonders!

Spring is the best time to put this out. Every W.H.Y. flying is a QUEEN... so everyone that drinks the mixture is a colony "nest as you call it" that will die.

I don’t think boric acid in these amounts is overly toxic to humans or animals.

Hey, I know it's a long time since you posted this message but I wanted to ask you if you were making the sugar water for these wasp traps using borax, how much would you use. I have borax but not boric acid and I have a wasp nest drilled into the cedar shakes right above my front door. My husband is deadly allergic to wasps. I tried spraying the nest with poison but they are still there. I want to try this. Please let me know.

@@oystergirl99 No problem! I comment on fossil posts & comments often! I doubt wasps are only just between shingles-more likely, they found a nice pathway up into a larger space-like your attic? If so, you need a pest control person to eradicate those. You don’t need both boric acid & borax--one is acid, other is alkaline…never use them together, cuz in this case, they cancel each other’s acid or base chemistry levels The old “Ants-B-Gone” recipe from the old chemist, as near as I have made it: Also known as “toxic nectar”: 1 cup water (or artificially sweetened cola), bring to simmer in a small pan. Borax, 1 Tblsp. at a time, til it looks like no more will dissolve. -OR- boric acid powder (NOT BOTH), added same way Nutrasweet packets, a few. (Skip this if using artificially sweetened cola) ( fake sugars are toxic: nutrasweet, & acesulfame potassium, also printed as “Ace-k”, or other abbreviations; sucralose is next. There are others) If a little more water is needed to dissolve particles of powders, add a little at a time…don’t want any more than necessary. Once it’s all a kind of heavy liquid, store in a clearly-labeled bottle, safe away from kids & pets. For most ants, just a bottle-cap full, placed in their path, or near nest entrance, usually does it. This is not my recipe; it was invented by a chemist in Martinez, CA, around 40 years ago. I only guesstimated it, & it’s been working. Bottle trap to catch flies, wasps: Use a pint water or soda bottle. Cut top off, just below where body of bottle starts to narrow…creating a funnel shaped part from the bottle top. Turn the funnel upside-down into the bottle, matching edge of funnel to edge of bottle body. Use a big pin or finishing nail to poke matching holes in each, to tie them together with a twist tie, & to attach a hanging wire. Add about 1/2 cup of the “toxic nectar” solution. Flying insects can crawl down into bottle thru the funnel, but have very hard time crawling out-especially if clear bottle has facets that reflect light-the refracting light from sun confuses their vision. And, when sun hits bottle, it heats up inside-also deadly for the insects. If it dries, or fills with dead insects, you can either take it apart to clean & refill it, or, throw it away & make another. If there’s hordes of insects, can hang multiple bottle traps. My DH donned a bee suit & aggressively pushed lots of plain borax into the big ground-wasp nest, 3 summers in a row, & soaked them with water hose, in turns. It did finally get rid of them, but it harmed the lilacs, lavender, & other plants over it & nearby it…I think it was what helped kill our elderberry bushes, too…but those could have been from a root fungus or something…& other problems. I don’t advise doing that, unless no other recourse. Part of what helped that effort, too, was hanging bottle traps within about 4’ of the entrances to that nest….but because the opening was so big & multiple, it made using only bottle traps harder-because so many wasps could fly out to attack. The opening in your shingles might be small enuf it only lets one or two in/out at a time??-so, a bottle trap might do it. In the cool of early morning, or late evening, when your shingle-wasps are not active yet, you might try: a mix of borax + nutrasweet, & maybe a bit of meat gravy to stick it together, & stuff it into the wasp entrance using a stick (not your fingers!), enuf to block their entrance. If enuf can shove into the hole, it can stop them getting in/out, & give them something to chew on that has calories….that might do the trick, too. “Paper wasps” build papery-layered round nests glued up under the eaves. They are territorial, so, if you hang a puffed-up brown lunch bag, tied at the neck & hung up under the eaves, before those start looking for nesting spots in spring-your fake nest brown bag will send them looking elsewhere. I’ve had one hung by each door for yeeears…this is first year of seeing a nest near our door…in decades if using this. But the ones just spotted, are a different kind of wasps…so, I’m keeping an eye on them….these guys look more like a kind of fly, but have built what looks like a paper wasp nest. These don’t seem to fly out to attack-have not seen any of their “attack squads”. These might be pollinator wasps or flies of some kind-we very much need pollinators-so, unless these act aggressive, I’ll leave them alone til cold weather, then remove the nest…… …..unless we get time to do a project there-than I’d put a plastic bag snugged around the nest, tighten it around the top, & scrape it from the wood…& take it way out back & stick it where those can’t hurt anyone Wasps depend on flight-a simple 3-speed fan could interrupt their flight…which might make them quit that shingle nest… ..…point fan so it blows up & out from your door area…or across & out--so the wind interrupts their flight path right by their entrance. They generally don’t fly at night, or in rain, or in heat of day….you might be able to timer the blowing fan to be on during morning, & from late afternoon til dark….that might be enough. Hope that helps!

Oh, those stings are like fire 🔥. Good luck.

Hi Alan, Sorry about the sound volume. I just ordered a separate wireless mic to fix that issue. I made this video at the request of some friends and didn’t expect it to explode like it has. I’m grateful for everyone like you who get something out of it and support my efforts to teach things I was taught many moons ago. Also, I made this video on an old PC with old video software. It didn’t do very well and couldn’t boost sound or stabilize video. I think it took over 18 hours to render and crashed the PC often. I recently bought a Macbook Pro and added Final Cut Pro X, Apple Motion, Pixelmator Pro, Photoclip and a few others. I have a DJI Mavic drone and love it so I just bought a DJI Osmo Mobile 2 to help stabilize my hand held work with my iphone. The Mac is blast fast at rendering and the software allows me to boost sound and stabilize my shaky video better. I’ve got a ton of film in the can - so to speak, of other things, it’s just getting the quite time to sit at the Mac now, learn new software and knock out some more vids. Thank you very much for your support and comments.

You’re very welcome... my wife would say Mahalo Nui Loa (she’s Hawaiian). Mahalo Nui Loa to you for watching.
