All that's thrown out the window with yellow jackets. I'd cover them in radium if I had any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
