Agree with the others: Wait till it's cold. I've got one area of my acreage that seems to be a favorite place for them. Just found 1 last week when brush hogging an area that got particularly long. Looked over into the brush to the right (would have been my next pass) and saw one about even with my waist. Saw nary a wasp, but I skipped that area. :lol: Will remove it this winter. Last year, I DID have one fall on the mower deck of my DR brush mower when I plowed into some thick brush. A bunch came out as I backed out of the brush with the nest on top of the deck about 4 ft in front of me. When I saw what was going on, I just walked off for awhile till they settled down. Got a LONG branch and knocked it off the deck, waited a few minutes and pulled the mower away. I've chopped a few with the mower without knowing it. Luckily, they must have been old ones because I saw no wasps.
I DID get stung 3 wks ago by a yellow jacket while mowing with the DR. Snuck up behind me and got me on the rear of my thigh. It followed me to the truck, buzzing around my head, me waving my cap. Got the spray out and waited for it to slow down somewhere. Nailed it. Went back and couldn't find a nest (ground or old stump is their nesting place) , despite stomping around in the brush kicking at wood and mounds, can at the ready. Someone told me that soapy water will get them as well. Haven't tried that yet. Too easy to just buy and keep several cans of hornet/wasp killer ready.

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
