I was doing a bit of work around the bus this afternoon and discovered two yellow jacket nests (furnace vent tubes, and the roof vent fixture over the refridgerator. Earlier this year I battled a nest in one of the fantastic vent shrouds, and behind a trim piece by the front door. I have also found nests at my kid's basketball backboard, and three on a landscaping trailer I have parked outside. Two weeks ago I was staying at a beach house in Delaware and found a nest in the gas grill as I was about to light it. All told, I have seen carpenter bees, yellow jackets, wasps, and more. I was just thinking this afternoon: "Are there more bees this year, or is it just my imagination?"

I use spray can Gunk, works fine and kills them instantly. My sheds are infested with both wasps and mud wasps.

The wasp sprays scare me, the insecticides in those things are deadly to humans also.

So far twice this summer i have had a wasp nest in one of my air horns, same horn both times. ??? Brake Kleen takes care of them in about 2 seconds and leaves no residue to clean up except for the nest and bodies of course.

We have wasps every year and it is my job to "take care " of them-a job I relish. Spray foam is the cats meow. A couple of years ago we had two big nests in our carport which is 14 feet high inside. One was the size of a basketball.As I climbed the ladder to get close to one a wasp stung me in the eyelid. Made me real mad. So I got a 20 foot long pipe and taped a can of spray foam on it. Then used hay bale twine to fashion a trigger. Stuck that nozzle right inside the nest and filled it with foam. Its no fun waiting until dark as you can't see them dropping out of the nest -DEAD!!
