What's inside a wasp nest - CLOSE UP VIEW after Kerminator® treatment (2024)
The wasp nest featured in this film was removed after being treated mid summer using the Kerminator® Wasp Lance. Watch professional pest controller and creator of the Kerminator® Wasp Lance, James Kerman dismantle the dead wasp nest to show how quickly a wasp nest can grow in size in just 6 weeks, with a close up look at the comb layers. Further investigation into the wasp nest reveals traces of insecticide at the heart of the nest, and the dead adults and grubs held within. This nest really demonstrates why the Kerminator® Wasp Lance is such a unique DIY tool. It shows that the user is able to quickly target a measured dose of toxic insecticide into the entry point of the nest where it can quickly take effect. It is then carried by the wasps on the tiny hairs on their body directly into the centre, contaminating the whole nest from within.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL
This channel includes instructional films and examples of the Kerminator® Wasp Lance being used in different situations. We want to demonstrate how DIY users are able to quickly, accurately and calmly treat their own wasp nest in a variety of circumstances where a nest has been deemed to be a problem, along other interesting moments featuring troublesome wasp nests we have encountered and captured on film over the course of the season. We do not advocate the killing all wasp nests and understand that they play an important ecological role, but when they pose a risk to public health and safety, particularly during the later summer months when nests can contain up to 5000 wasps, it becomes necessary to treat and kill them. “The problem is a social wasp in distress emits a pheromone that sends nearby colony members into a defensive, stinging frenzy.” (British Pest Control Association).
