It's not a wasps nest. It's maribondo. they're brazillian and way more aggressive and painful sting I believe.

Marimbondo is a wasp. Also, they are only from Brazil. Polistes distribution ranges from Arizona to Argentina

Yeah ok marimbondo is a type of wasp. I always thought of wasp as a particular animal turne out it's a group and marimbondo is one type of wasp. Also the marimbond-tatu is the most aggressive type of wasp type.

Exterminator here, wasps always fly right into the bag and they’ve got no clue what’s happening until you cinch it up. Works every time.

And what was the plan?

u/fueled_by_rootbeer Jun 11 '23
If they hadnt punctured the bag with the flagpole, they could have cinched it shut and trapped the wasps.

u/homunculide Jun 11 '23
Right but the bag doesn't look strong enough + the speed of action... I don't know, I saw that coming.

There's a spray that expands to deal with wasps. Back in my day though.. like.. 90's. We'd hose them and runaway them comeback and wash and repeat

Oh, they still make that! Seen it in action a couple years ago during an internship.

Guy filming: Baby, there's a wasp nest, marimbondo, whatever the fuck that is over there and they're trying to get it out.
Fireman tries to remove the nest.
Guy filming: They missed it! Hahahahahaha

If you want to deal with wasps, do it when the sun is down, so they'll be in their nest and asleep.

You got downvoted but honestly that was my first thought as well. How drunk is the cameraman, I can hardly understand him. Then I realized it wasn't english and now I'm wondering how drunk am I?

Why is it so hard for some people to get the concept of this sub? Something is supposed to go wrong. It's in the name of the sub. Nothing went wrong in the video.

u/Yajeebspace Jun 08 '23
Ummm then getting stung when they were trying to not get stung getting the nest is what went wrong? Where do you see something happening right?

u/JackBeefus Jun 09 '23
How do you know they got stung? Have you never messed with wasps before? You run as soon as you do what you're trying to do so you don't get stung, not because you got stung.

u/Yajeebspace Jun 09 '23
Lol what.

u/JackBeefus Jun 09 '23
What's hard to understand about running so you don't get stung?
7
u/Yajeebspace Jun 09 '23
Nothing. I don’t think you read the right title or no much yourself. Hornets nest in ground. So the moment they felt the vibration of these humans they came out to attack. If you are doing it right there is no need to run. My “lol what” was because you’re just saying a bunch of stuff to not be wrong.

u/JackBeefus Jun 09 '23
The title doesn't say anything about hornets. It says wasps. Hornets are a specific type of wasp. Many wasps don't nest in the ground. Even if they did, most people aren't going to disturb a wasp nest and then just stand there, though feel free to post a video somewhere of you doing it, or are you just saying a bunch of stuff to not be wrong?

I'm not new. That's the problem. I've been around a long time. Every year Reddit just gets worse.
