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?

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
