What's new

What nest is this?

Dawn dishwashing soap and water will kill most insects very quickly. Can use a piston type water gun.

Only the ones that breathe through their exoskeleton.

Really not sure how many of those there are. Could be most.

I know box elder bugs and stink bugs do.

I kill wasps and ants mostly and it works for a dog with fleas.
 
So this is happening tonight if it doesn't rain.

Plan right now is to put up the drone to maybe piss them off and get a good view of the nest. Too many branches for a propeller assault which I really wanted to do.

Tools to be used for fun in this order, can't shoot real guns in this direction (it is a horse place that does special needs things or something):
Good ol wrist rocket with steel pellets if I can find it.
Non lethal pistol that shoots rubber or pepper spray balls from a CO2 cartridge. Bought this for my wife during 2020 riots to keep at home lol, been waiting to use it.
Last and hopefully most fun if they haven't found me yet will be a fully auto airsoft gun that supposedly shoots 400fps, I'm hoping to get the "shoot the star out" carnival game effect with this one.

Drone will be filming the nest and I'll get one of the kiddos to stand inside and film me so getting swarmed will not be in vain:homer:
 
I had this by my front door.

Exterminated with brake cleaner… probably used about as much I’d use to take anti rust oil off new brake rotors.

Stab the red tube on nozzle. Aim, Squirt-Squirt they drop dead instantly.

Meh.

Lighter and starting fluid is more entertaining.
 
shotshells loaded with fast powder and airsoft BBs
:idea: I need to figure out a shot cup to hold airsoft BBs in my compressed air spud gun - maybe those mini versions of red plastic keg cups?

One shot of that oughtt'a keep the turkeys fucked off & out of my lower yard for a season :laughing:
 
So this fucker is coming down before sunset, honest question - are they gonna linger for days pissed off? It's hot here and kids are gonna be playing outside tomorrow with cousins
 
An up close look at bald faced hornets on a buddies house a few years ago
 
If you wait until dusk they’ll all be in it, kill em all & none left to linger.
Think if the nest gets shredded they will all split? I'd like to watch it happen and see the reaction but I'm assuming most will escape
