Man I hate wasps/yellowjackets.

Here's a trick, when you're outside doing stuf and it's "bee season"

take a pie pan and put about 1/4" to 1/2" of soda in it, and add about 10 drops of Dish soap.

The soap breaks down the surface tension, so when the bee goes to drink, he falls in and dies.

I did this a couple weeks ago, during a garage sale, and a bunch o' dead bees by end of the day.




One time I found an underground nest in my yard when I was mowing, and got stung.. I got soooo pissed off that I shoved a hose down the hole, and jammed it up and down.. then got a shovel and dug down nearly 3 feet to make sure it was destroyed.

ROFL!

I used "chemical warfare" on it last evening. I checked this morning for a body count, this may be a bigger nest than I thought. Found 3 openings last night. Gonna do some digging later to make sure I got them all.

I poured kerosene down a yellow jacket nest and then lit it.
Blew them up REAL good.

Thanks for the bee tip. I'll try it.
