Thankfully there is medication available. I found out the hard way about side effects. My bud convinced me I needed a couple more benadryls. All I wanted was to get home and take a nap.

Remember Pulp Fiction with the big long needle?

I think it is adrenaline, isn't it?

Goofy fact about weed killer in the US - more is used on lawns, golf courses, athletic fields, etc. than farmers use on their crops. The smell of the stuff when I walk or ride a bike by it is enough to make me gag.

That sucks. Nothing stays the same. Time to move out to the boonies? What kind of mining do they do for precious stones where you dig yourself a house while you are mining?

Why the shortage?

When I was a teenager I used to sleep out in my treehouse. I would build a small fire and the smoke or the CO seemed to confuse the mosquitoes. It was very light in the tree but seemed to affect their homing in ability.

My bud who lived in Florida got a BR bite on his back. He went to the Docs and told him he was broke, but if he could tell him what to do he would pay him for that. The Dr. insisted my bud couldn't treat himself and should let him treat him. My bud told him no, he couldn't pay him, so he...

"The Dr. says..............."

Owchy. Lots of Benadryl?

Might be a cyclical thing. I used to think a hot summer produced an abundance of hornet/wasps. Pretty hot summer here (I think 3rd hottest on record) and the flying buggers seem to be on the light side. That theory blown to pieces.

Using the nest for a decoration is probably in the works. Make space in the freezer first.

I think they are yellow jackets. The nest is in the bag, and then in the 5 gallon bucket with a snap on lid. I got nicked once shoving the bag down into the bucket, trying to get the air out. The bugger stung me through the bag. Not bad yet, about 40 minutes. Got a couple pics.

My bud used to do grounds maintenance for several school complexes told me he used to do it that way. This nest is about the size of 5 gallon pail. Probably big number of residents and walls to keep spray from penetrating? How big was your nest. Nipping them out shouldn't be a big deal.

Will do.

I went down to the neighbors tonight to snip a bald faced nest out of a white pine. An hour and a half after dark they were still way to active and alert. I guess early in the morning it is. I have a 5 gallon pail with a snap on lid to put them in. I might put my bee veil and gloves on to...

Ger, Yellowjackets got me good when I was a young kid. I jumped off a roof on to a pile of straw bales that had been there for a while. Didn't know about the nest of YJ's in there. I got nailed 14 times as I ran up the driveway to the house, being chased by a whole swarm of them. Jumping...

I agree with the memory. I don't know if there is something to your personal odor (not BO) they object to, but my stepson seems to get stung for just being there. I hooked a tractor up to a down tree right on top of a ground nest. Got on the tractor and pulled the tree away. He was standing...

I get more reaction to yellowjackets than I do hornets. I think the bald-faced wasps are bad. I think I have been lucky not to be stung by one of those. Stinging insects seem to be kind of like dogs. Somehow they sense fear. My Dad used to ignore them and rarely got stung. I have the same...
