Printed that out. Awesome.
Last summer I battled a massive wasp infestation around my home. This winter the boys and I went on a wasp hunting expedition. We crushed hundreds of queen wasps in their winter cottages just waiting to emerge and fuck up this coming summer, from wood piles, to tree branches, to eaves and walls. Found them hibernating everywhere, and we crushed them each with a rock, leaving their dripping guts as a warning to others. I'd have staked their heads on a pole but I didn't want to risk a post-mortem sting. When we had a warm snap and a few emerged, I sucked them up with my shop vac... surprisingly effective... especially with just a spritz of wasp spray in the tube for good measure. Hopefully I did some good either way. I'll let ya know when summer arrives.
I've been doing some research... wasps have no natural preditor either, so they are kind of natures bad-ass ninja bug. If it a preditor one, I'd get some.
