When you think it could be better!!

"The field appeared to be dry..."
You know, all those cattails are saying otherwise. I've only seen them growing in very wet conditions where the soil is almost loon sh*t. Gotta listen to Mother Nature! lol

bar tires and you would have walked right out of that

Another EPA no-no: After dark, any yellow jacket nests I find get a quick shot of gasoline. Don't ignite it, only use maybe a cup at most, and they'll all be dead by morning. Or else you could use the spray cans, but you have to unload about the full can to really kill a nest. After dark is best, they are all "home," quiet and in bed for the night. Just make sure your method of choice goes right into the hole and floods it out.

Buggers got me with six stings last week, they chased me. They died that night.

Glad you got your tractor out without further ado!

Honey poured down a yellow jacket hole will attract coons, skunks and oppossums. They will dig them up and eat the nest.

Honey!

Very environmentally friendly, although a little expensive to pour on a nest. And I'm not so sure I want to attract racoons, possums, & especially skunks! We have trouble enough with coons & posssums as is, and the ground hogs...

We're in a semi-residential area an so we can't use firearms for varmit control, and them little buggers know it, too!

Still, I'll file that one in my little noggin-- you never know.

Thanks,

Tom
