 I had guests with kidds, they got roudy and kicked a hole in the sheetrock in one of my cabins and hundreds of yellow jackets came out, thankfully they got out quick, only a few stings. Also have 2 ground hole nests out back that are dangerous I got to take care of soon! wait til next month when they start landing in soda cans!

I opened a contactor cabinet at a rail yard in Ohio last week to find a nest the size of 2 watermelons. Never have I seen one that big. I quietly shut the door and ran like a young guy. The Railroad guys hit it with 5 or 6 cans of some noxious stuff they use. I waited till the next day before opening the door again.

I get stung up every year. My beagle got it so bad last year his eyes were swollen shut, only one of mine was. Benadryl worked for both of us. Demons from hell!

I've seen alot of the white faced hornets this year too.I think their favorite place to build is on the bottom of the power co. transformers .I dont usually notice them till i'm  there .

   Snagger, I hope those kids got a welt as big as the hole they made in your wall.. Had a bunch buzzing my tuna fish sandwiches today...

I have never had much of a problem with bees or wasps in the 20 years that I have lived here. In the past month I killed a smaller yellowjacket hive  on the back of my shed and I had one about the size of a basketball fall out of my upside down canoe. Now I have one in my electric transformer box (I have underground electric feed). The box is locked shut and can't be legally opened. so how do I go about getting rid of them?? Any suggestions??

I had a lot of fun killing the real big bee`s that drill a hole in wood, I got my big minnow net out and tried to get as many as I could a once. 5 was my best

the white hornets built a nest about the size of a basket ball at my mothers house, we tried spray but they built the nest way up in the peak and the spray won't reach, so we used the garden hose to knock the nest down but the hornets are rebuilding
