Update:

Knowing it was going to freeze last night, I turned off the heat in the lower floor of my house (where the yellowjackets are most problematic).

So.......hopefully the thermal protection they were receiving from my home was diminished enough to kill some last night.

We'll see..........10:53 and none yet spotted in my house.

I got stung by one of the little punks last weekend while working on a deer stand. I hate them!!!

Most of the time they build a nest in the ground. Dump some gas on them and you wont have any issues again. At least, thats how I kill them in the Sip.

Don't tell the EPA.

I went to a kids' party once.....outside.

There was a nest in the ground so the "brain trust" of the party decided that they should throw a paper plate over it. I told them to pick up their tables and move somewhere else, but I guess that made me an ****.

I found a spot some distance away and sat and watched people get stung by swarming bugs.

Andy, they have been getting in our house as well and we don't know how. For years they have been getting into our bedroom/bathroom upstairs. When my mom in law and father in law owned the house, my father in law got stung in the back and butt as they slept, quite a few times. When Wes took over the house, he redid the roof and such. We still get visitors, but not as many. I found a couple up there in the last few days, although they aren't flying since they are cold.

I am pretty good with getting the ground level nests. There are some you couldn't pay me enough to climb too. We have a nest in the ground under our air conditioner unit on the side of the house. Those wasps, get brutal.

We have carpenter bees that have chewed into the wood on our front deck. Little bastiages...

I have to keep Epipen kits in the house. I am very allergic to these varmits. And Zach's doctor thinks he may be as well, due to the swelling of the actual bit he receives from a single mosquito.
