Most Useless Tip of the Day

If you're in the woods and step on a yellow jacket nest, remember to hold your breath while you're running from them because they can home in on the carbon dioxide that you exhale.

Wouldn;t the swearing, whining and crying have about the affect as breathing

You bet cause you ain't never had just one of those little B******d's get you. Thank goodness they don't cover you up like fire ants and wait for the one that blows the bugle to start inflicting pain.

I can't stand those things. I can't run as fast as I used too not that it really ever mattered but for some reason it gave me some assurance.

Discovered today that if you cut up some green wood (oak leastways because thats what I was cutting firewood length) yellow jackets will rapidly congregate to the woodpile. I suppose to drink from the sap.

Sweat bee's can't sting you if you hold your breath, never tried it on yellow jackets, too busy running like hello.

I would call BS on the sweat bee's curtis, but it is too cold to prove it this year. :lol:

My grandpaw always told us they would not sting a man if he was working. I think it was just his way to keep us busy.

They might not but a dang red wasp doesn't need a reason. Opened the feed room door one time got stung seven times before I could get my butt out of there. They had built a nest about the size of the bottom of a ten quart bucket. I went to looking for a broom and gasoline wife ask what I was doing I said I was fixing to burn the red devils to death. Then in her sarcastic way she said why don't you spray them with wasp and hornet spray. I replied because it's in the feed room, that's what I was going after to kill another nest on the front porch when I got ambushed.

Soapy water is better than gas, it's great.

True, they can't be outrun but if you can get 200-300 yards away from the nest most of them will give up the chase and go back home.

Normally they don't fly at night. If you step on their hole at night they will fly out of it. I found that out when I was looking for their hole with a flashlight in one hand a can of gas in the other and stepped on it.

Thought of this thread yesterday when I was mowing. Sure am glad a brown tree cutter has rear discarge cause it sent them the other direction.
