BuffJim Posted November 10, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 10, 2020 Stumbled out the front door and noticed this in my tree. Eeek. Didn’t see any activity. Will probably wait for below freezing conditions to knock it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted November 10, 2020 Share #2 Posted November 10, 2020 I had one of those attached to my house a while back. I ended up calling an exterminator. In the process I learned that if you buy some cheap grey chinese lanterns that hornets will maintain a distance from what the see as another tribes hive. Fake hornets nests are available and not too expensive on the internet. The set that I got were not waterproof however so I mounted them under the eves. They last for a few months and eventually the weather shreds them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted November 10, 2020 Share #7 Posted November 10, 2020 Part of the reason for hiring an exterminator was to deal with residual hornets, the ones not in the nest at the time of its destruction. They came an poisoned the nest in such a manner that returning hornets would be killed as well. Then they returned in about 48 hours to remove the now dead nest. In the process of doing that they removed any reason for hornets to attempt to rebuild there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some wasp and hornet spray is flammable. A quick shot of flammable spray and a flick of the bic and no more hornets. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My whole eighth grade woodshop class was the lesson: "Do not use gasoline as a cleaning agent"!. I think he meant that to cover any fucking around with the stuff.

Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted November 11, 2020 Popular Post Share #15 Posted November 11, 2020 We had a clubhouse that the neighborhood kids had built on a vacant wooded lot. Someone bought the lot and told us if we wanted the clubhouse we needed to move it. We didn’t know where to put it so we relocated it to an undeveloped right of way next to my friend’s yard. His dad got tired of looking at it and told us we needed to put it somewhere else or he was going to burn it. We had a club meeting and decided to let him burn it. We all gathered around to watch him burn it. He brought out a five gallon can of gasoline and proceeded to soak the clubhouse inside and out. I told the guys we needed to back up, this is going to be good. He lit a match and threw it toward the clubhouse. The match went out before it got there. He moved up closer and lit another match, Kaboom, the clubhouse blew up and blew my friend’s dad about ten feet by the blast. We were too young to know not to laugh. The dad was ok except for some missing hair. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
