You can smoke wasps to stun them , then get rid of the nest. I hate to use chemicals if I don't have to. Our honey bees that pollinate food are in trouble.

Now I got stung for my trouble, went to turn off the chick light and give them water as I always do and got stung twice through my clothes. Tonight I will take care of them!

Time for elimination !

I figure if I do it after dark they will be droopy and I can capture them in a jar.

Have to go out and give the dogs fresh water. I'll do that at least 3 times today.

I’ve had to refresh the birds water a lot today. And most days lately with how hot it is. They go through water like crazy

Overnight my dogs half emptied their water pans - it never cooled off.

The problem we have in our area is unavailable internet. We have school districts where there is no cable or WIFI. This really makes virtual schooling inconsistent

Fortunately, we have great internet. Yes, it would be impossible, if accessing a good internet connection were a problem. Maybe, they will develop a decent app, so those with tablet could use their cell phone provider as a connection. Yes, I know some areas don't get good cell phone reception, but it would give another option, and make it available to more people. It would reduce the numbers of those unable to access it due to poor internet.

Sour, I used to give my dogs ice cubes, when it got so hot. They loved chewing on them, and it cooled them off.

When it gets this hot, I like to freeze some water bottles, and float them in the animal water buckets. It keeps their water cooled off, without making it too cold.

They sure do like the water change and fresh cold water.
