re: Killed approximately 70 wasps today in a hole above my porch

about a month ago I was playing out back with the kids, they wanted to play in the sprinkler. I went to turn on the hose and wasps started pouring out of the gap between the pipe and the brick wall. I ran and screamed louder than my 4 year old girl.

after getting a can of raid I nuked them. approx 30 of those frickers were on the ground, many more flying around i shot

If they were in a hole they were most likely carpenter bees . They bore a prefect 3/8” hole every time hence the name carpenter. All you have to do is spray something and plug it up with a piece of a 3/8 “ Dow.

Great job.

Frick this a-holes

I got 10 yellow jackets that were ganging up on a caterpillar. That bengal spray don’t frick around.

How'd you get inside the hole?

Great job mate


Of all the creatures on this earth I am certain wasps are the one straight out of hell. frick those things

now top that by killing 30 spiders

I deal with them on my apartment balcony regularly. For awhile I kind of let it get out of hand (relatively speaking for my situation since it's nothing like a huge nest you'd find in a house). I finally got some spray and got a nest in one corner and some smaller ones in the other corners. After, they started making one right above my front door in the common area. Got that one, then they started a new one right away in the same spot, got that one. Then they went across to my neighbor's area and got that one too... was tired of having to walk past ones just flying around.

Wasps don't normally bother me but I have been stung two to three times in my life and all of those instances were within the past 4-5 years. Just recently I went to my friend's house and when I got there knocked on the door. Well he had a damn wasp or hornet nest in his decorative wreath thing and knocking disturbed them. Got stung in the fricking face.

good shooting there tex.
