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. :) -- "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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. |

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. |
