The lessor of two evils. Hornets or wasps?

[ram]

We don't have any red wasp around that's for sure CB. And I'm not real sure what to do about the Hornets. The nest is getting bigger every week. But our fireplace chimney is north of the nest about 20 feet. So the Hornets will be getting smoked good in a month or two.

Cut it down on the first cold morning, Hang it in your meat room to warm back up then after the ones inside emerge crack the door and throw in a RAID bomb. Then its ready to hang "under barn"

Interesting conversation.

 

[ram]

Is the spelling and grammar satisfactory TT?

 

[TennesseeTuxedo]

Outstanding!

I think I figured out what's going on here.

When I was growing up in WV we were told the higher off the ground the nest was the deeper the snow!
One year hornets built their nest on a window pane at church, you could see inside the nest and watch them work.

I wonder what would happen if you drove within 30-40 ft of it and got out of your truck and shot it three times with #4 lead shot out of a full choked 12 gauge and quickly got back in your truck and closed the door.

I need to get a pic of the one over at my parents house. It grows by atleast a layer, and probably more per day. It's not in a tree, it is on the side of their shop.

its over his back porch. and I suspect his wife would shoot him as soon as he shot it.

Yeah, you're right. Having a bunch of po'd hornets hanging around your back porch wouldn't be cool.

I know of a don;t! Don;t hang it in a cold barn over the winter and spray it with varnish so it's nice and shiny then hang it in the barber shop come spring when it warms up.

You guys are all wrong. Here's what you do: First you do two shots of your favorite booze. Then climb onto the roof. After you've gotten up there, you leap from the roof to the nest. Grabbing it while in mid-air, you rip it from it's limb and bring it to earth with you. Now, for maximum effect, land on top of it-crushing it with your weight so you destroy it. Then hold it down for a minute or so, that way it's completely trashed.

Now, just remember, the most important part of this whole thing is that you get someone to record it on their phone. That way you can become a youtube sensation.

Best be sure and have the cameraman standing there with the rest of that bottle of booze too so you celebrate your new action film. Should go "VIRAL" quickly.

I don't mind hornets so much.. that may be a little close to the house for my comfort, but around here the hornets don't pester you as much as yellow jackets when you're eating.. you shoo them off and they leave.

A lessor is a person who leases a property to another person.

If you search youtube it may already be out there
