On 2nd thought the hornet spray may be safer. However I'm not just funning. I've used the first method many times. Once 25' up a Chinaberry tree. Since it was so far up I took extra precautions that time. Coveralls, gloves, motorcycle helmet, and duct tape at all joints! Hated to be at the top of that tree and screw up. No way I could have made myself stay and fight and that would have been a heck of a fall.

Had one I never could figure out how to safely get while occupied. Had to wait till one frosty morning.
They had built around a 2" sweetgum about head high with four holes.

After dark with the foaming kind as mentioned. Get someone gullible to hold the flashlight in case of escapees.
After I foam the hole I put it in a big trash bag . People always wanting to buy them.
I'd hate to be the meter reader.... :hide: :hide:gizmom":sseak8t8 said:
