What's up top 10 fam hope you’re having an awesome day, Im your host Ayman Hasan and
welcome back to another video. Guys i hate insects with a passion i cant even describe.
The only ones im good with are ladybirds, butterflies and dragonflies and only because
theyre all either cute or beautiful. I thank my lucky stars ive never been stung by a bee
or worse by a wasp or hornet. As soon as i even see one i'm gone. You cant find me cus
ive already ran 4km in the other direction. Now just to clarify in this video ill be talking
about wasps and hornets and before anyone is like wait a hornet isnt a wasp. Yes it
actually is, hornets are social wasps and are one of the most common types of wasps
aside from yellowjackets. So with my quick animal planet dialogue over, these are the
top 10 Scary Wasp Nests That Need To Be Destroyed.
Starting us off with number 10 is The Granddaddy. I literally dont even know where to begin
with this one. In Patterson Louisiana, professional bug exterminator Jude Verret was called to
remove a hornets nest the size of a refrigerator found in someones shed. Mate some refrigerators
are bigger than me like that is not helpful at all. Wasps basically build their nests
out of chewed up vegetable fibre that they glue together enough times till it sort of
starts looking like flattened carton. The video Jude posted of it to facebook got millions
of views and i kid you not i still feel like theyre somehow
on me. He is getting ambushed by them while hes poking holes in the nest. Like they are
on full attack mode and as soon as he takes a chunk of the nest out its like the whole
worlds nest population comes flying out. I kid you not even when he starts spraying whatever
he was spraying none of them were dying. Are these yellowjacket wasps immune to bug spray?
Have they evolved to resist it? I dont even want to know. Miraculously Jude didnt get
stung during the process even though 5 or 6 stings wouldve put him in the hospital.
When he was done he lay next to the flattened nest and it was more than double his height.
Coming in at number 9 is The Drunken Mistake. Honestly youd think someone getting drunk
wouldnt result in anything to do with wasps but here at top 10 anything is freakin possible.
Back in 2016 21 year old Army Specialist Austin McGeough (mcguff) had had his wisdom teeth
pulled out but decided to go drinking at a house party the same day. The alcohol mixed
with the painkillers was a recipe for disaster and Austin got pretty wasted. Somehow he managed
to leave the house and wander around and when trying to find his way back, he thought he
found his own house and tried to get in when really he had found a nursery. One window
was broken and covered in cardboard so Austin thought he could just move the cardboard and
climb in. first off im sure his own house didnt have a broken window so that really
shouldve been his first sign. Either way the cardboard wasnt cardboard it was a wasps nest.
He was stung countless times and called 911 to ask them to send help. To try and be efficient
he started walking towards the highway so he could meet the ambulance faster but he
took a step too far on the road and got hit by not 1 car but 3. He d on the spot
At number 8 are $20 dollars. Back in 2015 in Tasmania a mum was complaining about the
amount of European wasps on her property and so her 12 year old son Jordan decided to tackle
the task. His mum promised him a reward of 20 dollars if he could get rid of the problem
which is hilarious because this is a very dangerous task and youre rewarding him with
a measly 20 dollars. Mans could d out there. Either way the nest they found had been growing
for 2 years and had hundreds of thousands of wasps inside. A typical 1 year old nest
is about the size of a football but this nest was a full cubic metre. And the discovery
was a huge surprise since European wasps usually dont survive through the winter but since
the previous winter had been super mild, they forged on. It took a full 2 days to unearth
the full nest and it took 4 men to carry the beast. After reviewing a of literature on
the subject, this nest was named the largest underground nest ever found weighing a whopping
90 something kilograms which is almost double my weight so you can imagine.
Filling our number 7 slot is The Veranda. Guys this one was found in Alabama so recently
literally on the 21st of June and i shit you not these yellowjackets made a veranda out
of their nest. It was a massive nest attached to this houses veranda basically becoming
an overhanging extension of it. These types of nests are called Perennial Yellowjacket
nests and really theyre just supernests. Most normal nests have 4 to 5000 works at their
peak but this one had 15,000. These supernests have started becoming a lot more common and
its all due to say it with me kids climate change. As the planet is heating up these
wasps have better chances of survival and so they survive through the winter when they
usually wouldnt. The Queens themselves are the only ones that have an antifreeze compound
in their blood so they survive every year and make a new colony every spring but now
they dont have to. Hence this supernest veranda and hence me never leaving the house again.
Now at number 6 is the Barrel. Back in August of 2017 78 year old Desiree Pell was a cute
little great grandma who decided to do some gardening in her backyard. Although she wasnt
an avid gardener she had done it enough times to suspect there was a wasps nest somewhere
in her yard. While trying to find the nest she looked inside a barrel and got stung on
the finger. Just 1 sting it wasnt the whole fam it was just the 1 sting. Her daughter
in law went to get a bandaid but when she got back Desiree was unconscious. Panicking
she called the ambulance and started giving her CPR but it was far too late. The plot
twist was that because Desiree had never been stung before, she had no idea she was allergic
to bee and wasp stings. Had she had an Epipen she wouldve survived but she sadly didnt.
And thats all she wrote. I hope someone found then nest after that and destroyed it because
they damn well should have.
Coming in at number 5 is The Log. back in November of 2015 Warren Brown went on a peaceful
camping trip with his friends in Washington State. Later in the day he thought itd be
nice to get a fire going so he started chopping some firewood not knowing one of the logs
was a humongous hornets nest. Got em. As soon she he did the first slice he was a goner.
Wasps will stop at nothing to protect their nests and unlike bees they can sting you multiple
times and not d. But you definitely might. The hornets started swarming him, stinging
him well over a dozen times. By the time any medical assistance arrived poor Warren had
already d. And he had been stung as a kid and recovered completely fine but he didnt
realise he had developed an allergy to wasp stings as he got older. Adult onset allergies
are real guys we become allergic to new things all the time as we age so allergy tests are
important. But i'm not a doctor. But you should trust me.
At number 4 is The Migration. Back in 2013 a couple living in the Canary Islands started
getting worried over a vacant home near their house so they decided to call the police.
When the police went inside the house they realised it wasnt vacant at all. They were
greeted with millions of wasps and an alien looking structure that was later identified
as a 22 foot wasp nest. Ill give you guys a second to let that sink in. after examining
the nest experts confirmed the most common type of wasps found in gardens wouldnt have
been able to build a nest like that or of that size so the culprits were actually an
invasive species of wasp that had somehow migrated all the way from Africa. 22 feet
long did they open it up? What if they were hiding a d body in there? I honestly feel
like that thing could swallow you hole not even kidding. Id just get a flamethrower and
just go at it really. If you cant beat em, burn em.
Filling our number 3 slot are Autumn Leaves. The only reason i even like autumn is because
of the leaves changing colours, honestly after everything d so do i on the inside. And then
just hibernate and wait till winter is over. Actually no the title of this reminds me of
a sad Chris Brown song of the same name i used to listen to in Autumn when i was sad.
But thats not relevant at all so back in 2017 Eric Dahl was blowing leaves in his garden
in Foxborough Massachusetts when he stepped on a massive underground yellow jackets nest.
And obviously they went sicko mode and attacked the hell out of him. I feel like theyre so
aggressive even if he breathed near them they probably square up. Either way he actually
wasnt allergic to stings but the sheer shock of the number of stings he got as soon as
he stepped on it was too much of a shock to his system and he actually had a heart attack.
It was caused by his surprise and the venom in his veins, weirdly enough news stations
blamed the death on honeybees which is fake news since they literally almost never sting
people unless provoked. Now at number 2 is The Car. This one was found
in Alabama this year as well and honestly im really starting to worry for their residents.
These supernests are gonna take over soon and since i wear shorts and crop tops 90%
of the time when they start migrating over here im gonna d. This particular case was
found in an old retired car located in a scrap heap. The owner of the heap was worried after
seeing a few wasps flying around his yard and decided to call exterminators to find
a nest if any and deal with the problem. Exterminators started looking inside car after car which
struck the owner as odd since he assumed the nest would be underground or in a tree somewhere.
And that is true for normal nests but supernests the perennial ones can be found anywhere.
Inside one of the cars the team found a massive wasp nest covering the entirety of the inside.
It was even growing up and covering the windows it was that bad. The window of the car didnt
work so it was just left open so it was very easy access for the wasps to go in and out
while still being fairly secluded. Instead of exterminating them i wouldve just dropped
the car in those like compressors yknow that machine that you put a car or anything in
and it just compresses it so its easier to store or get rid of? Squish the car, squish
and kill all the wasps inside and bobs your uncle.
And finally at number 1 is The Lethal Attack.
This one stabbed me in the heart and so now im gonna do the same to you guys. Hey if im
going down, im taking all of yall with me. So back in 2017 an 87 year old Japanese woman
called Chieko Kikuchi was in her wheelchair on her way to visit her home and take a little
break from the retirement center. There was a known hornets nest nearby but the little
satans tended to keep to themselves so likewise the humans did the same. On this particular
day however idk what happened. Out of nowhere a massive swarm of these Asian giant hornets
came down on and when i say these hornets are giant i mean theyre own to leave gaping
holes in peoples bodies giant. The woman started screaming for help but onlookers knew it was
too dangerous to go save her without being harmed themselves. Even the nursing home employee
that was with her was helpless so all she could do was call the fire department. And
even when they came they couldnt do anything. She was attacked by the swarm for almost an
hour and stung a total of 150 times. By the time they were cleared away and she was rushed
to the hospital the damage was done. She d the next day.
And thats all for today guys! I didnt know much about wasps before this video honestly
i just knew they stung and that you should stay away from them. So im happy i got to
do this one cus now im not gonna go around touching things that look like cardboard but
may be a giant wasp nest. Since i dont have any id love to know any of you guys’ experiences
with wasps in the comments below. Lets all just struggle together shall we. anyway im
your host ayman hasan and ill see you next time. Byee!
