Watch Out For Stinging Flying Things Under Leaves And Rotting Wood

[BucketBack]

So the paper wasp nest in the awning was taken care a couple weeks ago, today I found what looked like a big pile of crap with flies 10 ' from the side pole barn door.

It turned out to be a volleyball sized pile of sand and ground hornets. I've hit them twice so far. I remember getting buzzed a couple days ago while cutting the weeds , but it wasn't visible Saturday.

Did you get the permethrin concentrate/sprayer at TSC yet? Bucket you need both handy. Put a mound of grass clippings on the nest and satrurate it with permethrin, they have to crawl through it. They will all be dead tomorrow.

TSC didn't know about it except for GI Joe Blouses

Fam Farm and Home has it in stock, only 13.3% though

As long as ONLY permethrim can use on clothes, you got to make a dilute solution. 13.3 % to 20:1, ~ 0.65 oz to 20oz water.

That is bug formula too.

When I was a kid, dad used to have me go get rid of the wasp and bee nests that were always hiding under covers of our haybaler. We used a liquid that at that time was about $0.79/gallon in a old windex bottle, got the liquid from the gas station down the street. Worked well...

Leftover liquid went into the tractor...

Too close to barn and septic for my preferred methods

Gallon of 50% 13.3% concentrated shit ready-made to rock for Dawn

I Dosed them this morning, now I can get in the pole barn safer

That's more concentrated than you need. A 0.5% solution will work. That will work on clothes too for ticks.

My math was off for the 13.3% concentrate, about 0.75-mL concentrate to 20-mL will give 0.5%. The mix you made will knock the shit out of them! ~7.0%

I was skeptical when the stuff came out for clothes (Sawyer brand expensive compared to concentrate). I sprayed a set of pants down w/0.5% let them dry overnight. Went to "tickville" to collect some ticks. Got one on my pantleg, it crawled up as far as my knee then stopped. Then it went into spasms and fell off dead.

I only used 5 oz per gallon.
