Sprayed the wasp nest this morning


Nice a cool this morning around 60F. Won't be this cool later this week.

Need cool mornings to keep the wasps on their nests, and slow their reflexes.


I had got a can of wasp spray at Menards on sale (it must have been a sign). Said it could reach 29 ft.


So I got out the ladder, and let loose a stream, keeping it on the nest for almost 3 seconds, to thoroughly soak it, and freeze those wasps. They started falling off like acorns.


Got the binoculars out, nest looked clear. Count around 9 bodies on the roof, not moving. Hmmm, good stuff.


Instructions say, wait a day to knock the nest down.
OK, I took the nest down, put it out on the street and stomped on it, until all the larvae were squooshed.
