In would like to ask about the purpose of a f'ing MOSQUITO! When I get to Heaven I want to ask Noah why he didn't swat those two mosquitos when he had the chance.

You are not only superstitious but profoundly stupid as well.
Bad combo HC. You don't believe the Bible Con? You don't have to believe it. It's truth is not based on anyone's belief or lack thereof. You probably don't have anything to worry about from the judge you refered to. Maybe a friend of yours? It's the one who authored the Revelation that I've warned you about for a year that you should be concerned with. Con? Lol

Man I got drilled by a bald-faced hornet couple days ago. Didn’t hear it or see it until a few min later he was chilling on the trunk of the car. Usually they don’t go rogue on you unless someone is near their nest. Couldnt find a nest anywhere.
It was right in the arm where I got my 3 pfizer jabs. Not knkwing at first, it hit me like a bolt of electricity.
I thought oh Lord, Alex Jones, “Dr” Robert Younng and “Dr” Mercola from the Youtube was right. The 5-G satellites had sent the self-destruct signal out via electromagnetic solar radiation flare.
And to beat all, I had just given all three stinkin ass Labrador retrievers an EPIC doggie bath and flea dip
No good deed goes unpunished
I got drilled by a black hornet on Tuesday. I have to go back into the same building today. I'm stopping at the local Menard's for some spray before I go this time. kwg

More damn yellow jackets this year than I’ve ever seen anywhere. Fire up the grill to cook and here they come. Bees up the ass also. Edk

Funny...this is a low year for all those critters here. I've usually emptied my yellow jacket traps a couple of times before now. Now is their usual peak of activity, but I've seen only a few. I think it must be the Exceptional Drought we're enduring.
I'm sensitive to their venom, and I long ago learned to not swat at them or wave them away because it just ticks them off. I've never had one land on me and sting without provocation.

Fipronil does the job, google, following instructions as to strength with the right bait will just about eliminate the evil little SOB's. This is the 3rd year after baiting here, the first year they almost completely disappeared, practically none last year, and we only saw a few this year. Yellow Jackets went from being a problem to about nonexistent. IIRC this was one of the articles I used. https://www.pestboard.ca.gov/howdoi/research/2009_yellowjacket.pdf

Not bad here this year.
Did have one incident.
My wife brought a basket of clothes in from the line.
They sat 2 days, I was putting my boxers away, and felt a vibration.
"What the..." felt it again and just squeezed the snot out of it.
It was one of those smaller Bumble bee things that sting the hell out of you.
If that thing had stung the pead of my hecker,
I'd a had to take pics. And share them with you all!

Death to yellow jackets. - One can of cheap chicken. - Firponil (Sentry, Frontline, etc.) Split the water from the chicken. Add 4-5 drops of fipronil (about 0.5 mL) to the water and mix. Don't use too much fipronil or the wasps won't eat it. Mash the chicken - it works best if the wasps can carry away small pieces. Recombine the water and the chicken. I get 4-5 bait stations out of a batch. They can be frozen for later use. Give it a few days. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/l2uEEuY.jpg)

We had a work day at our hunting club yesterday and one of the guys was walking down the trail just minding his own business. A swarm of yellow jackets came boiling out of their ground nest and really went after him. 7 or 8 got him on the left arm and hand, several others went after his head.
He took off running, lost his hat, and they not only went after the top of his head a bunch of ‘em went after his hat on the ground. Within a few minutes his left arm and hand had swelled up like a football. Off to the ER. Fortunately he’s doing ok today.

If you know where the nest opening is any of the permethrin-based powders will knock the [bleep] out of 'em. The container in the photo is an applicator - puff dust into the next opening as you walk by. Wasps entering the nest will drag the dust in and contaminate and kill the whole hive. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Hkca6wf.jpg)

This is the time of year when I toss a bug bomb into my hunting blinds to get rid of wasps and other undesirables. Got to one of them last weekend and found a pile of chair stuffing on my office chair. Moved it out of the way and saw a hole in the backrest and then heard a noise. Mama flying squirrel was giving me the eye from the roof of of the blind. I tapped on the chair and 2 babies crawled out of the hole, saw me and crawled back in again. Closed the door and left them to it. Didn’t have the heart to evict them, they’ll be gone by gun season anyway, and then I’ll seal up the stand with spray foam so they don’t get back in.
