I am afraid to go out to my garden

[~*B*~]

it is true.

yesterday we found a huge HUGE hornets nest and its very active.

right in the bushes beside my garden. no i am terrified to go out there.
i dont even want to go outside to the chicken coops .
i hope hubby finds a way to dispose of it soon

If it's huge, it's probably been there a while and you never knew it. It's okay. They aren't pirhanas.

They won't swarm you when you go out.

No need to panic and stay away from the coop.

They sell a hornet spray, that will kill them from 20 feet away. They drop as soon as it hits them.

TSC or most garden stores.

This stuff does work wonders and it works best if you spray them right before dusk when they are all back at the nest and resting. Then get close and drench them and the hive/nest. when they are all down hit them again with the spray. good luck on getting your life back.

I totally understand. I am more afraid of wasps, hornets, yellow jackets than of any ol snake..... they make me ruuuuuuuuun

Why not go out when they are back in the hive and put a large garbage bag over the hive and relocate it someplace else?

i think i am more scared now cause i was mowing a couple weeks ago and mowed over an underground wasp nest and was atttacked by them. got sting a couple times and could barely walk after the swelling kicked in. we thought about the bag trick but the top is made onto several limps in the bushes. would be really hard to do that. bought 2 cans of the spray and am too "chicken

" to go out there with it. maybe tomorrow night...lol.

Your user name, you are just asking for bees

Spray them at dusk, not after dark. 2 reasons you want to see them, 2nd reason they will land on you and crawl to find a way to sting you.(better to have them flying around you trying to sting you,than under your clothes.

Yea I went to go turn the sink of the other day to wash my hands and I look down as Im about to turn it and a HUGE red wasp staring up at me warning me with those shaky black wings and I totally made a run for it all the way up the stairs.
