Scratch Dancing!

Sometimes you just got to know when to admit defeat and call in professionals.

Yellowjackets have been terrible this year. I have never saw them this bad. It is not just us, it is everywhere around. I've saw news reports that Kentucky, West Virginia and Tennessee are horrible.

We knew there was a nest under the porch. We assumed it was under the ground. We have tried everything, homemade traps that were effective. Mom bought some kind of powder to kill them but no matter how many we killed there was still a insane number of the demons on the porch. We have not used our front door for over a week. This evening we had a exterminator come out. We were fighting a loosing battle. He found the nest and it was not under the ground. They had built a huge paper nest in our insulation and around the floor boards. The nest was removed and destroyed, and some kind of chemical sprayed for them. We were then assured that the few that remained would move on in the next 24 hours now that they do not have a nest to come back to and defend. If they are still a problem in a few more days he will come back out and look for another nest under the floor at no cost.

I had a huge nest in a bank in my front yard. They are terrible.

Oh I thought Orp eggs where white. Well now I won’t know when my Orps start laying!

Orps all (including australorps, developed out of the orps) all lay brown, mid to lightish tones.

I have another nest I need to deal with. Seems like a bad year for them. Well a good year if you are them!
