I lifted the link from another forum I frequent.

Sucked me in for 15 minutes.

if you want to see the nest start at about 10 min.

Hate them bastards. 2 weeks ago I used 2 1/2 cans of wasp killer and a can of starting fluid to kill a ground nest in front of my house.

Amazing builders

It's crazy how much they excavated to build that nest.

I always wondered how they dont get flooded in hard rains.

They install French drains around the nest with a sump pump and battery back up
