Was wasps, vice hornets? I'd say you were lucky based on my experience.

Hornets get no mercy around our house...little bastards
I keep honey bees: when they swarm, you want to catch them to start a new hive. They rarely make it easy but the reward is “sweet”. The last one I got was about 20 foot up a maple tree. It required some redneck engineering to get to it.

Glad to hear you were able to resolve it without napalm. Many years ago in my blue collar days, we bought a used mobile home that we eventually found had a bee's next in the belly between the plywood floor and insulation. We used an iterative approach of my partner hacking holes in the plywood and me laying down suppressing fire with a bee and wasp killer, two fisted of course. It wasn't pretty, but no humans were harmed in the process.

Our daughter found a wasp nest last night in the side of the pool. Used Raid and 3 actually were able to fly out. The rest crawled/dropped out.

Just have to run a few filter/backwash cycles now!

I catch em before they make a nest.

Couple of these a year at the back end of the garden is all you need.




Oranje juice draws em in
they get stuck
they die
their dead body gives of feromones
draws in more of their stupid little buddies


Any nest they start, dies out because the dumbasses don't go home with food
