I may not be the first to says this, but please know how happy I am to see you back on here.
There is nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING that I enjoy more than killing hornets and wasps, especially those nasty red wasps that hurt so much. When I was a young teenager I ran over an underground hornet's nest while mowing our yard on my Dad's brand-new riding lawnmower. When I realized I was being attacked by a swarm of very-angry hornets, I ran inside the house screaming and hollering (incoherently, I'm sure.)
Well, dear ol' Dad thought it was all pretty funny at first, but he didn't think it was quite so cute & funny when I got to the part of my story about how I "just jumped off the lawnmower and ran to escape certain death." The sudden, startled look on his face was just priceless. Whoops! His shiny new lawnmower was still running wide open against the house when he ran outside to find it. LOL! He STILL brings that up to this day!
Anyway, the next time I run across an underground nest, I'll go BUY a glass container if I have to. Thanks for the idea!
ROFL! Funny!
This was supposed to go to you, not "randallflag."
Stinging wasps, hornets, and fire ants are all tools of Satan and were loosed on earth with the express purpose of torturing, maiming, and otherwise causing massive untold suffering upon all humankind.
So there.
Oh, how sweet. You remembered me!
I don't come here much anymore and so normally I would have missed this, so thanks for the ping. (I miss seeing you!)
If we get another yellow jacket nest near the driveway, I'll just run the exhaust down there (too bad I didn't know about that for the car-washing yellow jackets, had a car right there and handy.)
Too bad about you and the riding mower! (Didn't he hear the engine running?)
LOL. That's all I could think. This could have been a hold my beer moment, if they were drinking. I imagined them torching the nest and the mobile home.
Yep, I was thinking smoke 'em out myself, but CO is so much better.
hey, I see odd stories, and I think of you and Dog! I was also wondering if Gertie knew 'em. Good to see you, too! Take care.
