If you spray yourself with something in hopes of scaring them away and they find out that you did, they will first take the can away from you and beat you with it, and then they will tie you to a tree and take turns on you, one at a time to make it more painful. They sit around tables underground in their holes drinking beer and talking about just exactly that, in hopes that someone will make their day. You might think that I'm joking, but I watched them pickup a couple of trash cans and the lids, and beat the snot out of my neighbor, dragged him over to a tree, tied him up, and waited for him to come to before they went to stinging him like head hunters from Africa, and they made his wife sit there and watch under the threat of stinging her too. They are mean, mean, mean. I even saw them set a fella's tractor on fire until he couldn't take their taunting anymore, came out of his house with a ball bat, and got jumped by some hiding on the edge of the roof. Do not mess with yellow jackets, because they WILL take you up on it. Neighborhood watch? They will even call your neighbors up on the phone and invite them out to join the party as well, which your neighbors will never forgive you for if they do.

I would keep an eye out for them, and see where they go. They are both ground and wood borers. Can be under the siding of your homeas easily underground. If you see them go underground, they will have at least two holes a few feet apart for escape. Wait until the sun is going down, because that somehow works as an alarm clock for them, and thats when they start winding down. Poison down all of the holes so that when they come and go, they track it into the next like a trojan poison horse.

Good luck.

Mark

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
