The insect spray is a volitile gas. He was spraying an explosive mixture in a confined space.
The way to kill a Yellow jacket nest is to simply place a clear bowl over the hole in the ground. Do it at night when they aren’t active. They won’t dig around it, but when sun comes out they get confused that they can’t come out. In several days they starve to death. No chemicals or fire.
For the yellow jacket sting, simply take a raw onion and slice it. Place the slice of onion on the sting and you will feel instant relief. The swelling will go away and you won’t have a mark after 30 minutes.
Hi Bert.
Yeah I figure it was volatile, and probably some petroleum distillate; gasoline works just as well as the stuff they sell at the hardware store. Cheaper too.
When I was about six, I discovered a neat trick. We found an old bottle of insecticide with a spray pump. It would emit a pretty fair jet of mist if you leaned on the button. What was really cool was when you put a lit candle about 8 inches in front of it. It was like the fourth of July! Your very own dragon in the attic—that’s where we performed these experiments.
Would you believe I’m not a ghost or even an orphan? God was looking out for me!
