They don't like weed eaters either. I got popped twice and look down and my jeans and boots were covered. Dropped the weed eater and went across the front yard shedding clothes. When the weed eater ran out of gas I went back and got my revenge by pouring gas down their hole and lighting it up.
This.
I put a rag over the hole and pour gas through it where they are trapped and can’t fly out. Leave the rag there for a couple days. Go back and no more yellow jackets.
About bumble bees:
I hit a nest of them with my weed eater at work when I was in HS. I dropped the WE and hauled arse past this other poor schmuck walking toward me. He didn’t know why I was running, and I soon as I passed him a bumblebee popped him in the face.
Went back to get weed eater and 3-4 bumblebees were flying around it while it was still running.

Get me one of those big electrical arc flash suits, a can of WD-40 a chisel, $20 and some Kools.
I’ll take care of it.

when I was about 10 I was playing football w/some guys and the ball rolled into some bushes. A guy went in the bushes to get it and ran out screaming a few seconds later. He had disturbed a yellow jacket nest.
I ended up getting stung 7 or 8 times and it hurt like hell, but the other guy got stung around 75 times and ended up having to go to the emergency room.
I ran over a yellow jacket nest with a lawn mower when I was a teenager. Those things tore me up so bad that I had to go to the emergency room. To this day I am terrified of wasps and yellow jackets. I am not scared of roaches, spiders, mice, or even snakes and alligators but I will run away screaming like a 3 year old girl if I see a yellow jacket.

what kind of dumb frick in Alabama would let a nest get this big
Might be a camp or farm house or just an empty house.
I got popped by yellow jackets in my oregano plant in my backyard a week ago and I killed a wasp nest in a shed this morning as big as a pie plate.

So what would the price you would take to shove your hand in there and pull a big section out?

I honestly don’t think I’d do it for any amount of money
I hate those motherfrickers

When I was a kid my dad and I were bushhogging a field. It was mid-afternoon in August, so we were approximately 100 feet from the sun and it was fricking HOT. So, we left the truck running with the AC on and were swapping out doing half hour shifts on the tractor and a half hour in the truck.
I was in the truck and saw my dad start swatting, throw the tractor in neutral, and start running to the truck. From about 50 feet away, I could see the giant ground hornets that he'd run over dive-bombing him. I thought for a very brief moment about locking the doors, but I decided that I like living.
He got in the truck and he was still cussing and hopping around slapping his head. He had an adjustable baseball cap on and one of those frickers had flown in the hole in the back and was in there stinging him on top of the head until he smashed that little bastard.
For about a half hour, they had us trapped in the truck, just mercilessly slamming into the windows, trying to get to us. It sounded like somebody was throwing acorns at the windows. Finally, they lost interest in us and started attacking the tractor until it ran out of diesel and they settled down. We decided that the best course of action would be to go see the farmer who lived down the road about the situation. He came back to the field with us toting some shite that was way more high-test than the stuff you can buy off the shelf and poured it down their hole and ended their miserable existence. frick those hornets.
frick the family Vespidae in general.

250k? That would get my attention

Everyone has a price! I say, 20k if I can run right away.

Before or after 12 beers on a Friday night?

Once had a wasp land right on the lens of my glasses. I had a close-up look of him doing his best to sting the hell out of me.
He wound up stinging me on the hand after several seconds of me doing the "I Have a Wasp on My fricking Glasses" dance. I called that a win.

Why would someone let it get that big on their front porch?

I remember encountering one of these when I was a kid. It was about 10 ft. up on a tree branch on a road where quite a few people in the neighborhood walked past. I thought I'd be the hero and knock it down with a rock. I was wrong.

Threw a chunk of concrete at it and it made a dent in the nest. I stood there watching (not a wise decision) and a mad hornet flew down and stung me right on the tip of the nose. It was purple for over a week, and I was afraid to walk past it after that. I also was scared that someone else would walk past it (after I'd hit it) and would get attacked. Eventually the guy who lived across the street from it went over one night and burned that shite down.
What's even worse are the yellow jackets that make nests in the ground. Ran over a hole nest one time with the lawn mower, and they attacked me. Vicious little demonic hellions who will chase you. frick them all.

Lighting gasoline is very dangerous. Lighting the gasoline is unnecessary.
Its safer and more effective to wait until after dark, all the bees will be in the nest. Pour a pint of gasoline into the hole and it will kill them all.

My brother had a worker at his nursery get popped on his earlobe last year. Fella went into anaphylactic shock. He died before they could get him to hospital.
