Yay for people who know their holistic pest control. :thumbup:

My useless fact: Yorkshire Water's accounts department is as much use as a chocolate teapot. :tantrum:

That's the only way to go! Depending on the critter, there are many effective methods for control. What I had to do was an extreme way to deal with a band of terrorists. There are no natural controls for hornets and wasps, except nicotine sprays, but I don't have enough growing to save enough of the toxic compounds.

For many reasons, as well as the fact that my daughter is allergic to bee/wasp stings........I actively exterminate any and all wasp nests that I find growing on our house.  I am vigilant :tooledup: and ruthless to protect my family.  My wife got a hornet sting on her butt from a sneak attack by a cowardly frankenstein computer god hornet that snuck into our house thru a hidden crack in the roof. >:(

In B&J, when Joon receives an old Jack in the box as a gift; in the script, Sam leaves flowers on the doorstep but an hour before the shooting for the scene, the director decided to change the prop to an old jack in the box. So he had that prop manager go around looking for one and it was not easy finding one in Spokane.

We get what you call yellow jackets flying down our chimney in summer. I take a similarly 'take no prisoners' approach to the fuckers. what use are wasps, other than as fishing bait as grubs?

Agreed.

Though, they are proficient pollenators in the garden. Fortunately none of us are allergic to their stings, but my wife.

My dad went to the World's Fair in Spokane in 1974 and never told anyone in my family about it till May 14th. He went with a friend.

Spokane is located on the northernmost fringe of the Columbia flood basalts.  Last eruption was 15 million years ago.

yey my favorite town was mentioned.  :clap:


When I was a little girl, I thought the downtown had castles because the buildings look like castles. Guesswhat, they sort of do so no wonder I thought that.

That's the year I graduated (OK, almost graduated) high high school. How old is your dad.
