We have yellow jackets.
Those nasty bastards burrowed into the back end of a straw bale, and continued to build their burrow underground, right next to my garden.
They stung the living daylights out of my neighbor (he mows our lawn and takes on the thistles that pop up) and they got all riled up. I haven't been able to get near my garden, because I am deathly allergic to beestings.
I had a remaining kiddie pool that was empty, so Tom (my neighbor) Marined up and sprayed the inside of the pool with Raid wasp spray, and then emptied a can into the general area of the nest. Two flew out and crashed and burned; he them turned the pool upside-down over the area.
I panicked and went out and bought the remaining wasp spray at Home Depot.
More on this saga soon- especially since I finally saw a bloom on my squash plant.
Nobody told me gardening would be so, uh, eventful.
