    I'm pretty freaked out already, thanks though.
    No activity at the nest today.

    I once came across a nest in the ground while cutting grass after my episode with the 17 stings. I parked the push type rotary mower over the nest and walked away till it ran out of gas. If they want to get pissed off and fly out of their hole, let them.
    One treatment of gasoline gets then all every time.

    That's brilliant!
    This guy sent his helicopter in to do the job.
    It wasn't terribly effective, but I think he had fun.

    Love it, you could even hear the yellowjackets spatter on the blades.
    After all these years I still hate those little BAS*%@DS so much.
    I think it was after the lawnmower revenge that I discovered how toxic gas was to them, later that night they all died.

    I still love the 6 cans of Sterno...poor mans Napalm. :idea::devil:

    Bye Bye Beez.... It also glows for a nice long time. :mad5::mad5::mad5:

    Also while the Sterno is burning you can make little water balloons full or gas and roll them into the fire for added pyro fun. The balloon metls and poof!

    FIRE FIRE FIRE Bevis approved:ihih::lol::Thumbsup:

    Yeah I HATE BEEZ that much.

    A bit off topic but pyro related, don't ever pour gasoline on a pile of leaves then realize you forgot to bring matches and have to go in the house to get some. Even standing 10 feet back and throwing flaming newspaper balls at the pile, you will be involved in the resulting POOF. Almost set the the rest of the yard on fire too.

    Haha.....did that way back when when my dad told me to clean up the leaves in the back yard. Figured burning was "cleaning them up" and gas was a great fire starter. After the POOF, there were a lot more leaves in the yard to clean up........:biggrin5:
