00:00Why is this guy sneaking up to a wasp nest with a can of gas?
00:03It's simple. His whole yard has been taken over by wasps, and he's done with them.
00:08The quickest and easiest way is to cover the nest with a jar full of gasoline.
00:13The fumes stun the wasps, and they drop right out.
00:16It takes total silence and precision.
00:18One wrong move, and the whole swarm comes after you.
00:21And trust me, you don't want that.
00:23But if you find a nest two meters wide on your property,
00:26people have been known to bring out flamethrowers.
00:28And when giant Asian hornets show up, you need a different game plan.
00:32These monsters are bigger and meaner than regular wasps,
00:35and they build massive nests right in the ground.
00:38That job is for pros in full protective gear.
00:41They set up pheromone traps that attract the hornets with the scent of a female.
00:44The hornets fly in, get stuck to the sticky walls, and drown in the liquid.
00:48The safest and most reliable method? Smoke.
00:51It puts the wasps into a kind of stupor and knocks them out.
00:55Then the nest is removed and destroyed.
00:56And by the way, in China they don't let hornets go to waste.
01:00They use them to make medicinal tinctures for rheumatism.
