I worry about those when we are down there Cris but have never seen one yet. And we do most of the yardwork ourselves. Blwawa (that was a shiver of disgust)
This biotch hangs out in between our big tool chest and cabinet in the garage, I have been trying to get her for a week or so. I just happened to be out in the garage this morning and saw her The last shot of Brake Kleen knocked her down behind a box of leaf springs we have between the two.... I need to go back out there and find her to make sure I killed her.
I got that in an email about a week ago...... I couldn't imagine taking the cover off our grill and finding that. I don't know how the owners never heard the buzzing out back.
Kind of, except that looks like a honey-bee waffle. Thats impressive but it makes me kind of sad. Honey bees are dying at an alarming rate I would have called a bee keeper to come and collect the bees instead of killing them.
But for me, wasps are a totally different story. When their hives get large enough, they will start to swarm and attack people. Their nests are different looking, like this:
YOU ARE SO COOL!
burn or blow up everything! I like it!
LOL yeah. I have always been a bit of a pyro. I am the official campfire starter when we go camping.
the absolute worst feeling in the world is to sit down in the outhouse, and feel something crawling on your posterior as you are "doing business".
and also knowing that you have both black widow AND brown recluse spiders on the farm.
luckily, there was neither of them in that outhouse. but they were in the outhouses out in the back fieldsnear the packing sheds. 2 laborers got bit on their rearends before we knocked them down.
Today's TRIVIA.... Spiders breath through tiny holes down the sides of their bodies. The solvents you folks are talking about are effective because they cause the spider to suffocate... the solvents cause the body covering to sort of "shrink" really fast due to cooling and rapid dehydration.
Another excellent use for WD40 is for crickets that you can't get to. I had one that kept us up for hours, and every time I would start down the stairs, it would get quiet. I finally stalked it enough to locate it underneath the front door threshold, had no insecticide, and discovered that the WD40, being the only option I had... worked PERFECTLY. Lubed that cricket right up!! Never another chirp!

Just flipped through the channels between cleaning and Jeff Burton is on General Hospital, I thought I was seeing things at first..... What the hell is he doing on a damn soap opera

I think ticks are the same way. Growing up in Colorado, we were always mindful of ticks and Rocky Mountain Spotted fever. My dad got a tick after a trip once, and he made my brother and I come into the bathroom so he could teach us how to remove it.
You can't yank on a tick or the head will break off inside of your skin, and you can get a serious infection, or the fever. The trick is to try and coerce them out without harming them. He put vaseline all over the tick, and it backed out. The tick couldn't breathe.
