A farming family has killed thousands of wasps after waging war against them for the past ten years.

Luo Jiajin, a farmer in Shuangliu county, Sichuan province, and his wife Liu Shurong formed a team with Liu's elder brother, Zhao Rucheng, to fight the wasps.

They made their own protective clothing and have refined a number of skills to kill the hornets free of danger.

They are often invited to destroy the pests by surrounding villages and happily sign a responsibility waiver each time.

Although they killed hornets free for local villagers, they have earned some 20,000 yuan each autumn by selling their loot to restaurants and medicine stores.
