    She doesn't have neighbors? I usually offer to knock down nests when I get onto the roof of people's houses. Often I don't even ask.

    Finally found the nest of buggers that have been terrorizing my front door.
    The bastards chewed a hole through one of the upstairs window screens and built the nest in the shadow of an upper corner.
    Hosed them down good with foaming spray and waited until the next day to knock out the nest and vac up all the carcasses, there was about 30 of them and half the nest filled with grubs.
    My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.

    Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

    When we had a nest under where we keep the trash can next to the garage, I didn't screw around, I doused those bastards with malathion and then sat there with a can of brake cleaner (mostly methanol), and propane torch to deal with any that tried to escape. 1 treatment, done. Didn't even set fire to the garage...much.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Poor lil' Popcorn took one in the rump this morning. She jumped in the air, tried to bite it and ran over to hide between my legs. She has a small bump where it got her.



    Now she's laying around like a good girl, just not on her left side.

    Much...

    This is funnier than it probably should be to me. But I completely understand the sentiment. We've had to re-define our vernacular for "fire" since we started doing all the fab stuff in the last few years.

    Poor puppers. Looks like she's thinking "leave me and my sore butt alone, please"...

    We've had SOME yellowjackets, but after addressing the wasp issue early in the year, there has been a major resurgence in Ft. Fun lately. It's like Springtime all over again.

    My problem could be worse, I guess. Huge European hornet nest inside a car in Ohio:

    So not just hornets, but illegal hornets?
