after going into battle with those buzzing dive bombers last night, 2 cans of wasp killer, they took a nasty beating, there numbers have been reduced looking at the pile of dead fighters, inside of the wall was still pulsating when i pulled a retreat, out of ammo. going to go get some more, looks like the foamy stuff works well, now i just have to get the army from hades in the wall.

If you can get the wand of a pressure washer in there I have used this method before and it worked great, the pressure just disintegrated the hive. This one was in the wall of a shed on my buddies land. I wore full sleeves and pants and sealed every possible way they could get at me with duct tape, put a full face mask on and a hood over top and went at them. After the fact took some form oil and spread some on the outside wall where they got in and sealed up the hole with spray foam insulation and it worked great, they never came back and I didn't even get stung

That will work. Tried it on wasps in our old shop wall and problem solved.

Most wars are won with air superiority. If you get them you dispell that theory.

oh my god ken, i don't know whether i can summon the energy for an all fronts attack, takes all i have for the air fight, ground troops? I'll be overrun, god help me if the glasses fog up. so far i've been using chemical weapons of sorts to keep the ground troops at bay, but the effects of the baked beens have been wearing off.

OK, news update on the little buzzers, ran out of the chemical warfare weapons, spied a fire extinguisher on the wall, said what the hell, giver a shot. lets just say no more bees, sprayed the wall, then attacked their entrance holes, lets just say there fire is now out, worked real well thanks for the suggestion. the little fellers breath through there abdomen, dust from extinguisher covered them, and they died a valiant death.

Snow and Mudders came through in the knick of time, helping a poor guy who was down to the last man in the fight for air space. anyway we could set up a refreshment relief fund for the winning team and have a toast to the valiant efforts of the bee team. they put up a good fight.

i have heard it said that u can measure a man, buy the strength of his enemy.


I'm in trouble.

Well Larry it sounds like it worked for you. Good to hear.
