[QUOTE="epags, post: 2271224, member: 105138"] Two experiences: 1. Living near Warrensburg, MO I was weed wacking some overgrown area and upset a ground hive of hornets/yellowjackets (did not take time to inspect closely). Ran a record 200 yard dash to the house (got stung a couple of times). Went in, showered and changed clothes. Had been told the little devils will recognize the clothing of the inteloper or smelll same. At any rate when I came out they were not interested in me. That night I killed the nest. Interestingly, my wife and kids were out in the area and the little devels (not my kids) did not bother them. 2. Visitng a friend in Idaho in the summer. It turned out I arrived the same time an infestation of yellow jackets did. They were in his house eaves, inside the covers of his exterior electrical outlets and built nests in the eaves of his outside BBQ structure. The foam spray worked (Idaho YJs must be weaker than those Michigan ones) on the house and electrical covers but the eaves of the RRQ were too high to reach with the spray. We tried fly swaters for the occasional ones but there were too many. We waited until night and he used his front end loader to lift me up into the eaves to spray the nests. Did not get stung but upon reflection it was a really dumb thing to do. Beer had no bearing on the event. LOL [/QUOTE]
