yellow jackets on a plan- err, in a house

I'm about to go Samuel L on these fools

Ok seriously, this morning I killed my 2nd yellow jacket in the house since Sunday. One is a fluke, two is a trend. I found them in two completely different spots. One was whizzing around the lower level and the other was found in the upstairs bathroom. I don't know where they're coming from or how they're getting in, but both of the ones I killed were pretty passive so I don't think the nest was close by in either of those cases, and they didn't look unhealthy or disoriented. A few questions to anybody who has dealt with this before:

1. How do I find the nest?

2. Do I need to rent a howitzer?

3. What movie was this line uttered: "have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

Since they live in the ground, what's your crawlspace situation?

 

 

They dont always live underground.  Last summer I had a big nest of them under my front porch.  I had to crawl under there a couple times with some of the long range wasp killer to get rid of them.

The only crawl space I can think of that we have is the one in the front directly under the foyer. It's not that big but there's a bunch of old tires in there that haven't been disturbed in like forever.

 

Any moisture or collected water in those tires is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, a gathering place for snake and the dark moisture is very attractive to yellow jackets.  

 

Did you know mosquito larvae and eggs will normally freeze during the winter and thaw in the spring, only to grow into the bloodsucking insects they are.

I'll check and get back to you on what I find. Probably not going to be tonight because I'm going to a concert.

What about claymores? Are they good for eliminating yellow jacket nests?

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
