I love wasp. They are a truly amazing creature. We need more wasp in our world. But why do they build their nest in your trucks....because...you guys don't drive your trucks enough....lol

Last year, both T posts for the clothesline were filled with wasps. So every couple of days, I'd go out with 2 cans of spray, 1 stream and 1 spray (for when the ****ers chase me). My wife would watch from the bathroom window laughing at me cause I would get up close enough to stream into the tiny holes, then they would start flying out and I'd run toward the house using the other spray. return and repeat. Then I started filling the holes with silicone since I didnt have any great stuff foam. They came back again this year, so I repeated the process and then filled the holes with lit sparklers one night......I was half lit and thought it was a good idea at the time.....

Also last year I had to destroy a yellow jacket hive in the ground behind the shed. Problem was the hive was under a coil of old hose. so after many attempts to get close enough to dump gas on it, I finally used my head, lassoed the hose and moved it at a safe distance. Once moved, grabbed a 5 gal bucket of dirt and the gas can. They never had a chance. Right before the ground froze, I dug up the hive. It was about the size of a basket ball.

Once I got rid of that hive, there was still bees hangn out. discovered a hive way the **** up in a tree. Spent all winter throwing **** up there to knock it down and never did. Came out one day in early spring to find it in pieces on the ground.

So all in all, I never got stung. A ****ing miracle if you ask me! This doesn't include all the many little nests/hives I've found here and there.

SO im sitting here typing with my left hand; the right is swollen twice as much as yesterday. swelling from knuckles to wrist. I'm popping Benadryl much as is advised and keeping it nice and cool. Just hoping it starts to ease off soon. IMO no need to get it checked out because im still getting adequate circulation in my fingers. that and a doc wouldnt do anything different than admin a shot of Benadryl once the current dose wears off. I believe its safe to assume ive developed a hypersensitivity to wasp venom! The culprits are no longer with us though thanks to brake cleaner :icon_twisted:
