I noticeD that even in this weather they're still building tall dusty
cones in the cracks of my old concrete barn floor.

hmmm, i wonder if this is what's underneath?


Gasoline works great...even on fire ants....

You may wish to be carefull with gasoline in the barn floor.

Once I had a good idea to get rid of yelow jackets. I was mowing the
yard and came across the hole in the ground for their nest. Being a
good father of two little girls under 4, I knew I had to get rid of it.
I dumped about a quart gas into the hole. I mowed a few minutes more,
and decided more was needed. It occured to me the best way to insure
they were gone was to burn them out. I touched a match to the hole and
fire shot out of the ground in several spots around the yard.
Fortunately there was no holes under or close to the house and no
children near any of the holes.

Kind of reminds me of those movies you see where they take high
pressure hoses to gopher holes. :)

I ran into a bunch of ground hornets once - smacked me pretty bad and
I spent a day in the hospital on antihistimines to reduce the
swelling.

Them things had to go. A friend of mine had a brother who was an
exterminator/pest control type. He came over with this black spray
can - I have no idea what was in it, but wow - he sprayed the nest
from about ten feet back and those freakin' hornets melted.

I mean melted - very cool.

Damn ground hornets. :)

Get some Diazinon...works great, but DO NOT put it in a styrofoam
cup...eats right through. And dont throw a match on it, either. Its a
systemic insecticide that will leach right through your skin, and
poison you. We used it in a Plant Nursery I worked at years ago. When
mixed, it looks just like milk, but smells awefull. Goes by the name "
Bug B Gone " up here.
Kills Yellowjackets , Wasps, Hornets, etc. on contact. Kinda like
using WD 40, only more dangerous. Use it around the foundation of your
house, and NOTHING will come past it.

Had the same thing happen while golfing, once. Hit a ball, and sliced
it off in the rough. While looking for it, I stepped on a ground Bee
Hive.... ran so dam fast, I cleared a four foot page fence in a single
bound.

King of the Hill reference. If you don't watch the show, it would fly right

D'Oh!!!

Ok - I got it now.

Hey - if you have Netflix, gotta a recommendation for you and Reggie.

Adventure of Photography (two discs) and Contacts (three discs).

Watched them over the past weekend - the first is ok - there's some
interesting historical background and images in both of them, but
Contacts is great.

Also have something else I need to talk to you and Reggie about, but I
just haven't had time to get my thoughts together. Probably this
afternoon.

Expect an email.

I dont know what your problem is, but I'll bet
its hard to pronounce.
