    Done.
    Other than breaking out your stethoscope to listen to them die.


    That’s great until they bore a new entrance/exit and it’s pointed at your living room.

    Just don’t use a road flare as a smoke source to smoke them out and then start your house on fire.

    My dad did that. It was a thing. Fire trucks came and hosed everything down.

    “It seemed like a good idea at the time!”

    This. A bunch of angry yellowjackets in my house would not be my definition of a good time.

    Tried this recently and they have no trouble chewing new holes.

    Yeah I'm calling someone. I can get close if I hang my upper body out the window but given where it is, I'd rather get someone who knows what they're doing.

    Yep - they'll probably puff some of that death-powder into the hole and then a couple days later they'll all be dead.

    "" I worked with an old hand in the woods this last week, when it came time to build the fire buddy puts some kindling on the ground, splashes some diesel over it for accelerant, tells me " they had to quit putting cfc's in these cans so instead they use propane"

    Buddy picks up a can of tree marking paint points it at a lighter flame and creates instant flame thrower

    follows with the advice " This also works good if you are being charged by a bear"

    don't wasps leave in the winter when it gets cold, I was told to leave an empty wasps nest so other wasps stay away? ""



    the usual wasps in the chipboard garden shed were way early this year so i shot the nest with a spray bomb of wasp killer, normaly i get rid of the nest but this time i left the nest so we will see if it keeps the cousins away.
