Who is footage somebody posted of a drone flying up to a wasp nest and then you see all these wasp buzzing around it until a couple get hit by the rotors and chop the pieces and then they just swarmed the rotor and it drops out of the sky
This seems every dramatic, and leaves a big black Scorch mark on your white building. Seems like with exactly the same equipment, you could douse the nest with a quart of wasp killer.
maybe i just havent had a run-in with a wasp in a while so i've mellowed out a bit, cause i fuckin hate wasps, but that does seem cruel. like imagine aliens just put your whole city to the torch

I'm not against vertical filming, but if the thing you're filming is two things side by side and a fair distance apart, and you choose vertical, I'm going to question all of your life choices
Ok maybe that one would be a bit excessive, and I've cleaned up the aftermath of one in Afghanistan in 2011 because it was in the middle of one of our routes to our main strong point and some Taliban were trying to setup an IED, drone saw. Drone dropped hellfire. The three guys were fed into the pyramid stacked concertina wire like they were passed through a wood chipper. All I was able to find was a foot, everything else was bits and pieces.
tie two adjacent corners of a big sheet to the guard rail and then pull the opposite edge tight against the concrete and then pull it between the nest and the concrete (possibly with a sawing motion). The intention being to dislodge the nest such that it falls into the sheet. I have no idea if this would work.
Well, it's obviously concrete... historically pretty fire retardant. Spraying chemicals, nah. I'd rather see a bit of fire than an introduction of carcinogens directly in an urban center.

Good. Fuck those bastards.

This kills the wasps

This seems like a good method to set your home on fire...

If the nest is that inaccessible, why fuck with it?
DukePhelan
Just imagine the chaos of a dozen or so of these in a major metropolitan area. Fire of London, eat your heart out.

It's the movie Independence Day for wasps

Is there another drone filming this?

I certainly hope so. The alternative is unthinkable.

Just a thought ... maybe this can be used to treat Nazis.

Fire takes a long time to kill. During that time, they're flailing about and causing unnecessary property damage.

When wasps have their own Jeff Goldblum I will start to worry. So far only flies have achieved that.

Are these an invasive species, which are damaging native populations? Because otherwise, why are they destroying natural pollinators?

Looks like an Asian Hornet nest. Very invasive and yes, they prey on honeybees

The thermite drones in Ukraine are nice to watch. Probably two hells to experience, but nice to watch.

I would love an arson drone.
I have a lot of uses for one, and some of those uses are probably legal.

You can buy the flamethrower attachment online. Getting the FAA permit isn't easy, I checked into it for entertaining

Pyrethrin powder seems a safer option.

tempestfoxthree
You can rotate your phone 90 degrees and record landscape.

Just on some platforms.
ExTechOp
I am fairly certain this video was not recorded by a human on a mobile phone.
Type17
You know you can turn your phone to landscape when watching a video, right? (and If the app won’t allow it, then it’s a POS)
Fulustreka
Yes, I do, it can be done in YouTube, for example. But it's not possible on Instagram and some people make videos only to upload there.
inigo93
Nest is still there when the video ends... I'm not convinced.

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Sprinklers, Wasp firefighters, the heat-death of the universe, wasp engineering is crafty.
LongCommentChainAppreciator
Are wasp nests of this size thermally insulated to the point the wasps on the inside aren't cooked? I have my doubts :p
astrangehop
Very likely yes
BirdPersonXLII
Yeah but at least they left giant scorch marks all over the place.

They won't be able to afford the insurance and will soon be evicted

Wasps serve no purpose, much like mosquitos. They eat the pollinators. Fuck it, burn them.

I thought they pollinated as well, no?

They do. Without wasps we'd have a big problem.

I feel like there was a convergence of, "hey I got this new drone with a flame thrower attachment!"
"That's funny cause I was just trying to figure out how to deal with this huge wasp nest!"

The eviction notice had been ignored.
WisconsinPlatt

They could've taken off and nuked the site from orbit, to be sure.

If this was a method that was available, would you pick any other?

I would send at least 2 drones. Wasps only respond to displays of power

Oh, it might work, but you’re going to be dealing with some angry hornets.

If the damn drone can spray napalm it can damn well spray insecticide and not light f****** structures on fire
RicheTheBuddha
Where's the fun in that?

I would think this method is more environmentally friendly unless you burn the whole structure down
