I was removing the firewood that sat on the back porch for the last month. It had gotten warm and no longer needed to have close by. It was only a few pieces. It's all a covered area. I picked up some on the ground that had slid under the wood steps and yikes! Bumble bees started coming out and they were not happy. The hole must be back under the porch somewhat. Porch is off the ground about 2 ft. and it is open under there. I need help on a way to permanently remove the varmints. I guess I could set up a bug bomb and then stir them up and it would get a bunch that way. Might get me too. I worked with a guy that was bush hogging and got into a bumble bee nest and they tore him up! I looked at him and said, "I don't guess a Ford tractor can outrun bumbles...?" He didn't think it a bit funny... :laughing: same guy ran into a hornet nest about 3 years ago and had knots all over his face/head. Nothing funny about that one either... I've had those pigmy wasp yellow jackets that nest in a hole in the ground get me and they burn like fire. I learned to watch where I had cut on the previous round to see if they were swarming their hole. I slapped the old Ford tractor out of gear and abandoned ship one time for an hour. went back and they were still stinging the tractor hood. Maniac bugs. Any help on the bumbles, that doesn't include burning the house down...lol
