Hornets

Man we got these hornets that dig a hole in the ground. Got a hole where one lives at the end of my back deck. They are Huge, I haven't been attacked yet. But they really startle me.
And they can fly real fast.

Seen them all over the lake this year.
Anybody know anything about them.

Ground hornets? - YouTube

pour gas on them if you can lite them on fire , if tou don't they will go dorment in the winter & be their next year,if you have something hit you and you think you have been shot,that is a hornet.can tell you a good story about some friends and hornets:cussing:

Do you have Cicadas? We get these look-a-likes here on Long Island. The attack Cicadas, sting 'em to paralyze them. Bring to the hole in the ground. Lay and egg on the Cicada then bury it. The egg hatches and the hornet pupae lives off the Cicada. I think that is what you got there.

Ain't gonna burn my back deck down which is built on the ground.

Then run fast: or you could just pour the gas in the hole.

or you can move

Let me see
My house has been paid for , for about 10 yrs. I live one house off a great fishing lake. My OL likes it here. I'm retired out in the country.. All my friends are around me. Well I forgot about Chucktx, he's close enough I should move.
Nah, I ain't gonna move man. Things are gonna have to work themselves out.

I'm retire to i bass fish alot my house is payed for i live very close to a lake if you don't want to take the advice deal with them your way good luck

do you have any local pest control guys that might be able to give you a way to get rid of them. ? you cant be the only guy having to deal with them.

What if these things are here for a purpose. Never seen them before and all of a sudden I see em all over the lake.
If I wanted to kill em I would kill em. I wanted to learn more about them.
My dog is in the yard with them and they haven't bothered him yet.

ok i thought you wanted them gone i was gonna ask if you had a dog . and if they went after him. if not maybe they are allright seems like they keep the cicada population in check . if not you guys might not sleep a wink with all that noise the make went camping one year and we could not sleep they got so loud.

Here is what you neen to know they are bad ****bees

are cicada like locas or something.

hello there Mr parker!

look like big ass noisey locus to me dont know how they got here . but they sure are all over the country.

Ya know the dude i work with planted gardens and they didn't do too well.
So he has a buddy that is a bee keeper, 2 yrs ago, he started puttin honey bee hives on his property. This year he had a great garden thanks to the bees.
So I'm gonna wait and see what these things are before I kill them.
As long as they don't sting me.

Ya know I just started recently hearing something make a noise like a cricket or whatever that buzzing noise it. It hurts my ears. Used to hear it as a kid.
I can hear them like thay are in the ceiling of my house when the sun goes down.:cussing:

thats a good way to look at it ! they dont mess with you guys why mess with them the good lord made them to for some good reason.

They are different, as far as the hornets and the bees hornets are very large as bees go ,the honey bees are very small ,are t you sure they are not yellow jackets,they nest in the ground are very small,and sting often from one bee,most bees sting once,yellow jackets one bee can sting many times.
