"They liked oxygen, so I gave them 50% more oxygen per molecule!'

I love how instantly he regretted leaving that ozone machine unplugged when he dug up the nest.

1. cover yourself in ozone
2. wait for it to ozone
3. ozone

Everything in our house had serious smoke damage after an attic fire in "02, & all of it was "treated" with ozone. It was explained that the ozone molecules would destroy any smoke particles. We were _VERY_ pleasantly surprised when all of our belongings (except, sadly, the 3-piece sectional sofa that was made with foam rubber) came from the "ozone room" smelling as though they had just came down from a clothesline in springtime! No smoke smell, except for the sectional. It was a very impressive demonstration!

Added bonus from killing the wasps with ozone: Ozone dissipates quickly, which makes it safe to feed the wasps to chickens. Win win.

Pretty neat, but my favorite method for ground nests is, waiting until dark, pouring gasoline down the hole followed by a match.

[NitrousDiecast]

Ozone generators are great for spaces that have smoke damage too.

[russellhltn]

Interesting, but it doesn't seem to penetrate too well. I think pouring molten metal down the hole is more satisfying. And you end up with a neat sculpture.

Is it the ozone being toxic (which it is) or is it the displacement of oxygen, which is killing these insects? Any gas which will displace oxygen will work in a nest in the ground.

[royreynolds]

Ozone is oxygen in O3 instead of O2. It is very unstable and reactive so it doesn't last very long. Ozone usually is found around heavy electrical motors and arcing.

Should’ve waited for wasp trap Wednesday!

Yellow jackets are wasps, yet my man managed to call them both bees and hornets without even calling them wasps once. 😂😂😂

As someone who has been in the ozone business for over 10 years, there are many types of ozone systems rated for different applications and concentrations. I'm surprised by this relatively small unit and how effective it was. Ozone is slightly heavier than ambient air so it will tend to sink to the bottom or ground level.

I used to get nailed by these constantly when I mowed my grandparents' grass. I found this very therapeutic.

I previously worked in the restaurant, after each shift and everyone gone. Before closing, the owner set the ozone machine running for 1-2 hours in the Kitchen. He said that this will kill hidden pests (Cockroaches, mice, silverfish, flies etc.) And safe for food production area due to no chemicals used.

[danielschuett]

Back in school, my chemistry teacher once mentioned to burn sulphur at the entrance of a ground nest, so the sulphur dioxide sinks into the nest, killing the wasps. Since then I've been wondering if that really works, but never had the chance (or need) to try it.

[stevenwhite.]

I dont understand the downvoters. Were there yellow jackets down voting? These bugs are pure evil.

2:09 That wasp Fell like a cartoon character lol

I'm a believer in the ozone. I bought a house with really bad pet damage. I ripped out off the carpets and the subfloor still smelled. Every night when I wasn't working on the house, before I left, I'd close up the house run the ozone machine. I kid you not it got rid of all the smell after 4 nights. I did it for 2 weeks just to be sure
