    Me: 50+, Them 0

    Looky what I did today. Don't know what I'll do with them now that I have them down, but at least they aren't on my back porch any more.

    If at first you don't succeed, deny you were trying in the first place.

      Careful they don't come back for you like the water buffalo!
      Happiness is sort of like wetting your pants....everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

        The larvae are the best bait anywhere for trout, bream, crappie, etc. Go fishing!

          I got most of them yesterday when it was pouring outside. Had at least 40 carcasses on the deck. Then I checked a couple more times before I took the nests down. Got a couple more during the checks, but I think it was the last of them.

          I usually leave them alone, they do their job and as long as they don't bother me....... but when it gets to the point that you can't go out on the deck without being buzzed...... I pull out artillary.

          I think I'll dry them out, then see what Idea hits me. IU know some people that cast cactus skeletons in PR for pen blanks, maybe I'll do the same with these and see what happens. Could be interesting.

            Not very good for bream around here, but they're good for bluegill.

                Pouring??? What's that?

                They are going to hatch, Mike, not dry out. Once the cell is sealed it's a matter of a few days.

                Same here, Ken. I now see a few wasps but not a nest to be found.

                  They are now in an AIR TIGHT container, so let them hatch. They are in for a suprise.

                  Each of those nests were in three of the corners of my deck, surprised I didn't have a fourth. They rebuild them every year.
