Yellow jackets/ wasps

Posted by Mike (WA) on June 30, 2014 at 15:01:11 from (69.10.199.195):

Some kind of strange little critter made a nest in the hay bales the grandkids made a fort out of. 2 of the 4 of them got stung Sunday. A little smaller than a yellow jacket, darker in color, look different than the paper wasps that are everywhere, and they made a conventional paper nest like yellow jackets and hornets do. Doesn't matter much what they are, I gotta get rid of them before we start putting in hay in a couple of days.

Problem is they are in a hay loft, and right by the ladder that is the only escape. Was going to cover the nest with a jar this morning, but went out about 6 AM and they were already out and about. Don't really want to get a nest in the jar, and have others come back and find the homestead gone. They may take a dim view of that, and take it out on whoever's handy.

Nest was a little too large for a jar, so now thinking of going out in middle of the night and spraying them. My question is- do they all come back and sleep in the nest after dark? Do they go out at night at all?

BTW, learned something from an earlier post- I will NOT carry a flashlight, so they come right at me when I spray. Lantern set out on the other side of the loft as a decoy, I come in from the dark side and get 'em. Can of ether to get the ones who start lurking around the light. And I'm going to set up a ladder at the other end of the loft as an escape route. Just wish I was about 30 years younger and faster.

Ah, the best laid plans of mice and men. . .

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
