I usually wear my invisible suit and have no trouble at all. That's me in front of the larger trash can.

Soooo....How long do yellow jackets live when locked out of the hive?
Filled a big nest with spray, the foamed it shut...2 days ago...one or two still flying around looking for a way in....
They see me and must know...they come after me...LOL
Still pi$$ed I guess.
So, giving them a wide berth......
Just last weekend I covered the entrance to a ground jackets' nest with a coal shovel full of dirt.
And ran like hell.
And stayed away for a week.
That pile of dirt was literally covered with yellow jackets.
They didn't dig in or out so now that nest is done.
I leave the paper wasps and the mud daubers and the regular yellow jackets alone. They do a good job eating the green worms in the broccoli and don't seem to mind me being in the same general vicinity.
The ground jackets and the white tails though.... They are just not friendly. At all.
I don't mess with them unless with me.
This nest was next to the back door,... inside landscape timber.
DW is allergic ....so had to go.
Meanwhile....at another entrance to the nest........
So here's the plan. He will come back. He can't stay away. And when he does.

I've got too many grandkids running around and a wife and me. If it stings, bites, eats something it's not supposed to eat, or doesn't respond appropriately to "Come Here" or "Get Outta Here" then it's gotta go.

Half of us wouldn't stand a chance around you.
What?...Huh?...Who?
That's no joke. For most of us the only response your would get is "blink" "blink".
I have a lot of plants. Plants don't talk, at least not where I can hear them. We have one dog, three cats and a chicken. All of them watch me very closely when I go out in the yard. We all watch #1 wife very closely when she comes out. Grandkids can do no wrong.

My yard is fenced so I can't get into trouble. I just follow the path around the fence and pee in the corners.
Keeps the pacemaker charged.
Or whatever sticks out the furthest. It does tend to train one not to pee in the yard........at least not on the fence.
These must have been dumb ones. Or a new nest for a swarm. The shovelful of dirt was covered with wasps at the end of the day, but within a few days they were all gone.
