I use a coffee can and a putty knife... cover the nest with the coffee can use a putty knife or a carpet knife to sever the anchor point. The nest falls in the can and you snap the lid on. Any wasps that fly away dont hang around too long.

Biggest one I have handled Just fit in a five pound coffee can. No stings if you do it at night. they usually hunker down and go down with the nest. I would NOT do this if I were allergic.

That's the main problem, Deb. I have to carry an Epi-pen due to allergic reactions to wasp stings. Doc told me it was just a matter of time before I had a more serious reaction. DH bought one of those 'badminton' type electric bug zappers at Harbor Freight. I love that thing to pieces and it's very effective when used on wasps and carpenter bees. This nest just had about 5-6 big black wasps hanging on it so I figured that the farther away I could stay from it the better. DH had wasps chase him out of the woods the other night while working on one of our antennas. He went back in blasting the area with wasp spray.

I konked out on the sofa last night at 7. Slept for a while, got up, locked up the birds got a shower and went back to bed. Slept 9 hours. Woke up to glorious rain and thunder. No complaints. Need the rain badly.

the 57% is part of the 96% northern European.

 

[ronott1]

I am 99.9% European. When you add up the places that are Northern European, it is 96%

That would solve eliminating the nesting site as well.

I hand the hairspray or bee killer to whoever go do this Please

This is my favorite solution

I hope the chart helped...Parts add up to 100 percent. Irish\British is part of the 100% as is French\german and etc.
