New show here Sunday Morning Sausage and Saws Club

I don't like yellow jackets either. PITA. My honey just got nailed yesterday at our son's place... walking across his garage floor... she didn't she it and pizzed him off.

I killed a soccerball sized nest on our cabin last year. One of many over the years. You prolly know this... the long distance sprays use 2 different chems in one. A paralyzer that works instantly, and a poison that ultimately kills em. If you can ID only one entrance hole they're using, and do it after dark as you have before, you should always be able to zap em with confidence. A nest that size would mean I'd have a new can of the best stuff in each hand (one just as a back-up if the first plugged up or ?) If possible, you could slide a "catch" pool under the nest to keep most of the spray from drizzling all over the place. Main thing is... once spraying at the entrance hole, you stay on it til empty. The paper nest absorbs so much of the juice, they're always toast. And, they'd have to get out thru your tornado flood of juice blowing in thru the front door, so not much to worry about there. Key is hitting em at night, when they're all home and dormant. And, to be sure they don't have a second entrance on the nest itself. Really big nests might. I've never seen it tho. Good luck hornet zapper. Gonna need pics... ...

 

12 guage and # 8 or #9 shot, #4's if ya got through the side wall ( lead shot, if steel drop down a couple numbers) Then come back at night with a couple cans of long range good stuff ( has to have the residual component in it or its a waste of time.)

 

There are/were over 150 manufacturers of chainsaws, with 000s of models, including Homelite, Mac and many others. Saying one is better than another is folly, you may like one or a few you have however until one has experienced others, you only have an opinion.

 

One of my all time favorites

 

I have two Poulans, the one you got for me Dex and a 3000 and I like them both. I have a buddy in Florida that has a line on a near new Poulan 82 or 8500 from a 93 year old WW2 vet who may be willing to part with it. He is suffering with demensia and can't use it any more. Boy do I hope I can score this one! Tom said 'Timmy, the saw looks like new!'.

 

I nuked several large Guinea wasp nests at work a couple weeks back - they had built a dozen or so nests under a 480V switchgear (elevated platform).
CRC wasp & hornet from Grainger drops them on contact - I got really good at hitting them in mid air
we buy cases of it at work for our "summer preparedness program"

Several years ago I got hit multiple times on a mezzanine from the top of a 50' fuel oil tank, bastadges had nests in the handrails...not fun getting stung in the temple and shoulders while you're descending a ladder 30' up

 

Bacon sandwich and a new mastermind 261

 

We had a sausage, onion, pepper, omelet with salsa on top. Going to box up Jasha's 088 today and I may try to run the 064 later bucking the ash up.

 

Nothing for breakfast. Gotta go home a make a couple of Tar Heel pies!

Those were fresh eggs too. We got 2 duck eggs today too. Going to try them in the morning on the fresh buttermilk and honey wheat bread

 

Glad to see my buddys here lets make this our Sunday am meeting place every Sunday
