A man has become an internet sensation after he was filmed destroying a wasps' nest using only his bare hands.

The toe-curling footage shows the man climbing a ladder to tackle the nest under the overhang of the roof on a house in Lutz, Florida.

He first plucks a wasp out of the air near the nest and effortlessly crushes it between his fingers and thumb before turning his attention to the bigger problem.

The man waits a few seconds for the right moment, and then pounces, grabbing the nest between his hands.

The plucky pest controller then smacks his palms together - destroying both the nest and the wasps inside.

He then separates his hands and squeezes them into fists - just to make sure that no wasps survive his steel-like clutches.

The stocky man, who appears to be in his late 40s, then holds out his palms to show the crushed bodies of the insects - and the remains of what was once their nest.

Robert Mays said: 'I have never seen anything like that before! If that was me, I'd have a spray can in each hand, spraying that nest like it was on fire or something!'

And Sunil Rupee wrote: 'He probably tossed them in olive oil and ate them later.'

Mike Fuller added: 'Probably grabs hot pans out of the oven with no gloves on too.'

And Austin Sloan said: 'Holy s***. I mean maybe it's truly possible. You have to grab and squeeze them to death before they have time to react with a sting.'
