12 gauge would have been a good idea. I shot the nest I "found" with a couple of cans of Bee-Bopper. Problem resolved. But a 12 gauge would have been a whole lot more satisfying.
After the attack, I sat at the front window with a pair of binoculars, muttering curses, and looking for the nest so I could clean it out. Mrs WBill said that I looked like Carl the Groundskeeper from CaddyShack.
Funny thing was that I left the lawnmower right where it was. The @#%$#@%$ things kept attacking the lawnmower for hours after I ran the nest over.
I really, really hate yellow jackets.
Yep, I read that. I had not had the misfortune to run over a nest with my mower yet. I can only imagine that they were extremely mad about that.
The ones in my door would become enraged just by my opening the door. I could not even get to my lawn mower lol.
These are some nasty tempered insects, but I sure loved hosing them down with wasp spray. Got their nest too HAH!
I only got one actual sting out of the whole ordeal with them, but damn it really did hurt quite a lot. meat tenderizer really helped.
