Like a scene from a grizzly horror movie, thousands of angry hornets swarmed out of 'the king of nests' as an exterminator bashed at the giant structure with a shovel.

The super-sized wasp nest had engulfed half a shed in Patterson, Louisiana, climbing up the walls, spreading over the floor and teaming with thousands of territorial hornets.

Brave exterminator Jude Verret was called to the house and he filmed the extraordinary - and very close encounter - with the angry stinging hornets.

Wearing a protective suit and mask, he approached the shed where the nest was built in many layers upon the shed floor and the belongings abandoned there.

Wasps swarmed onto the exterminator and the camera lense as he approached the nest, and the video showed the stinging insects in horrifying detail and scale.
