36. Those mud-nests are a bitch to clean up!

Thu Jul 18, 2019, 09:34 PM

Jul 2019

And you are right, when I break the nest with a long stick, they just fly away.

Back in Chicago burbs, I was painting outside trim on windows on 2nd floor.
So I am on this long ladder, with brush in 1 hand and holding on to ladder with other.
I guess there was a wasp nest there which I did not see. It was definitely not Mud Daubers!
The nest was sand colored and those wasps are SOB aggressive. He/she landed on my ear
and kept stinging me with no hand free to knock the damn thing off of me.

It was a painful sting, my ear lobe got swollen red like a small tomato!

while I agree with you about legalization and common sense laws, 912gdm Jul 2019 #37

You make a good point. The people cooking up wasp spray are too far gone, Blue_true Jul 2019 #38

pot legalization isn't a panacea 912gdm Jul 2019 #43

People are cooking up wasp spray because of pressure on drug distributors. Blue_true Jul 2019 #44
