I'm usually pesticide and dangerous chemical adverse. All  that's thrown out the window with yellow jackets. I'd cover them in radium if I had any.

yeah I have a pest guy that comes for yellow jackets or bald faced hornet nests. Can't put the kids at risk..eff em

Napalm, Agent Orange, Lesco... whatever it takes.

 

I used 3 cans of Raid on the nest at my pool... still see a couple now and then

They did it for uniformity. Not because they expect it or think possible . This whole thing continues trending south 

 That so?  Go figure...

this type of pattern appears to be a favored return state up to this point, this summer... This is the 12z ICON, which by no means is being used here as a formal position matters ... But, I don't think this summer's going for an early release so long as this keep manifesting in the runs. 

We'll see what the 12z's do here in a bit, but at least in so far as next week is concerned, some recent runs of both the ECM and GFS have periodically demoed something similar.

 I have wasps that i usually have to deal with, They like making nest under the drip edge or in the eaves.

i love the moment of surprise when cleaning out the gutters and suddenly you see the nest. Mother f'rs start raising their wings preparing for attack. Hate hornets. We had a painter finish some touch ups 25' up on ladder. I'm sure there were some flying around his head. don't know how they do it without freaking out, but not a place where you want to start swatting with the arms.

It's these ticks that need to be nuked. Kill em all.

Only works for small areas, unless one eliminates all warm-blooded wildlife.
We're now in the 'tick-free' month - can't recall seeing one in August - but I've picked off hundreds at other times and got anaplasmosis from a November encounter in 2022.

47 this morning, topped out near 70.  Nice.

there was a wasp nest next to my vegetable garden last year and i loved the free caterpillar control

Parasitic Wasps are the best.  They don't make nests, through. 

Nuking ticks with pesticides just makes them more resistant in the long-term.  If you want less ticks in your yard, deter the hosts from being there.
