Hamburger baited with wasp attractant and flea/tick poison
Oddly, this is the first summer we didn't have any. Typically they go after our hummingbird feeders and chase the birds away. Probably be back next year with a vengeance
They're really bad here this year. And they seem unusually aggressive...maybe because cooler weather is near and food is a priority.
This past weekend I nuked a nest in the base of my neighbor's crap-apple (you read it right). Took 3 applications (7 cans of chem) before the tree stump finally stopped vibrating. The last of those jerks trying to escape were as big as my thumb.
Yay, I've had an entire humming bird family frequenting my feeder this year. Before this, never had more than one passing by in the spring & fall.

The author mentions that this is an especially 'bad' year for these foes!
There are other solutions in the comments of the article, mostly variations on the same themes.
Its no joke, I'm sitting on a fire just south of Ol' Bailey Guns. (Rattlesnake Creek Fire). We have had more medicals due to bee and wasp stings than anything else. At least a half dozen a day and that's on a fire with 350 personel. Its been hot as hell around here too (I mean Hells Canyon is just a few miles away). The main power pole here at the ICP (base camp south of White Bird), swarms with those damn buggers every day. It's also where port a potty row is, so you have to run through the swarm just to take a dump.
Oh, yeah...you're not far from me at all. Maybe an hour and ten mins. Be careful!
10-4, pretty country up here and not an IKEA in sight. Have to drive a long way to get some rancid meatballs.Quote:
