Well, my luck ran out today......
Years of tractor work and I found my first insect nest. I say "insect" because I have no idea WHAT these things are.
Obviously a stinging insect- as the one that landed on my face demonstrated:smiley_aafz:
I was moving old metal roofing that was crushed together- using the FEL. When I nudged it the first time I saw just a few start flying on the far side. I found where the nest was, not too big. So I decided to nudge it further to where I wanted it. Second time, quite a few more came out, but stayed rather close to their nest.
Being "smart":laughing: I went to the garage and grabbed a can of "wasp and hornet" spray and proceeded to soak the nest and "fogging" the ones flying around it.:thumbsup:
Came back a while later and too my surprise......... they were still alive and working the nest
(so much for kills on contact). I used up the rest of the can and figured it should be good. WRONG!
Went back later and no change, they would fly around the nest when nudged, but they did not "attack".
Only thing left to do....burn the brush and dry grass in and around the roofing metal:thumbsup: So, the "wasp roast" commenced and I was sure it would be good..........
:mur:
Not sure what the hack these things are...perhaps evil spawn of the underworld- or possibly more/larger nest underneath.
I think tomorrow I will go out with some pyro-dex and take care of business
