Yep. All in my yard. 2 years ago, I was stung and reacted: swelling, blurry vision, heart racing.. resulted in a big ER visit. 1st time reaction after being stung many times in life.
Dang, that is a scary thought. Glad U didn’t get died.
Eastman, are you living in Old Testament Expdus? First, the plague of Cicadas, then the curse of the patio furniture, and now the plague of ground wasps. You better let the Lord’s people go!
been there my friend!
Use some soapy water and you won’t blow yourself up.
I say light them up too, literally! Just be careful not to start a forest fire.
HA!.....funny story, I came home late one night from my neighborhood bar and used an insecticide (powder). Remember reading the best time to do it was the late evening. Those MOFOS came barreling out of the ground and I took off. They followed me all the way into my garage, I probably got hit maybe 6 or 7 times. I felt the pain worse then than yesterday.
dang.......what is funny, is this is the very same place in my yard that I destroyed years ago. They came back, usually they don't.
HA!.....guess I better clean my act up & fly right, couldn't hurt.
That sounds terrible, can see it happening. Well, apparently survived, hope you at least got the tee-shirt.
baa!
After 102 years of being on this planet, not gonna change my ways.
Hit them early in the morning ( just at sunrise) or at night, to make sure they are all in the nest. They also are not on the defense at those times. Killed many nest that way in my 57 years on this earth. I hate all of them as well! As a kid cutting a neighbors grass I ran over a yellow jacket nest and got popped 6-7 times and waited awhile and poured gas in that hole, waited then threw a match and blew a hole in his yard. My neighbor did not mind at all. I fixed it best I could but loved seeing those little bastards flying through the air and laying all over the grass afterwards.
