But think of all the EXTRA fun you could have with some.

One other idea would be a black plastic tarp and some rocks to hold it down.
5'X5' or better yet a 10'X10' Black should heat them up really good and just bake them.
Set it at night so they are not out and about.

Also tonight Xander tried some finger food and tail mix.

2 gallons of gas and diesel spill would do it. Just don't light it. Or you could lay the plastic out and flea bomb them.
The last ones I flea bombed were in a soffit that I could not get into while they were live. I drilled a small hole and
stuck the tip in and that also depressed it and after about 10 minutes there was no more noise.

Speaking of killing things I gassed my mole today with CO2. I hope to not find any new mounds in the AM.

i hope you have have good luck with getting rid of the wasps. I REALLY dislike them, especially since I am now allergic to their stings.

You must have some Texas wasps there, we don't bother with them, but then we're not allergic, and they never build a nest in the same place twice.
We have rats and the dog and cat can't keep up. Two days ago mr rat catcher came and dumped half a cwt of poison around the place, hope it does the trick. We got his details from the local farmer so I reckon it will...

I just hope you don't end up with any secondary deaths.
