Did I mention that I hate wasps??

If you haven't read my previous post called "I hate wasps!" please discontinue reading this post and read the next one first. Then come back and read this post.

As you can recall from my previous post I declared war on the wasps in my yard. I read all different web sites that said to wait until dusk to mount your attack. So, I patiently waited until the sun started to set before I pulled out my RAID Hornet and Wasp killer. There they were all coming back to their nests to bed down for the night, when suddenly from about 10 feet away poison shot at them covering every inch of their nests and killing them before they had time to realize what was happening.

I sprayed the nest still left in the bush, I sprayed the nest on the ground by the bush (that I had previously knocked down), I even sprayed around the opening in my eaves and on some nests just starting in the dormer peak on the front of my house. The spray knocked them immediately out and things were good.

Once there were no more wasps around the nest in the bush, I knocked it down and was surprised at how big it was (it was deceiving from where I was looking at it from the outside). I gave it some time and then decided to start (or finish depending on how you look at it) pruning my bushes again. I really wanted to get them done while I had Bump around to do the tops of them. Things were going well and Bump took over and finished the first bush and started on the second. I offered to take over doing around the bottom of the second bush since I knew he would have to do the top and I didn't want him to have to do the entire thing. He went into the house to check on the "sleeping" kids.

While he was in the house I continued hacking my way around the bush making it look so good, when suddenly out of nowhere I got stung in the arm again!! Seriously! It must have been a straggler wondering where his nest went. Oh, I was so mad! It is the same arm as the first sting too, but this time it was high up on the inside of my arm right below my sleeve. I ran into the house and told Bump that I was finished and it was up to him to get those bushes looking good. I had done my part and paid the price!So, even though it was hot outside, he got on his jacket and gloves and went out and finished trimming my bushes for me. He never got stung, but imagined them flying all around him and was very careful and light on his feet to get away if he needed to. I am still on destroy mode and will be out spraying again as soon as I find nests that survived! Stupid wasps!
