Wasps Again
We have not had quite the struggle with them as last summer--perhaps because we hit them hard very early on--but we still have to deal with these aggressive and somewhat worrisome creatures. Now that the nights are getting cold, I am finding them clustered together for warmth on the outside of the house. I think this is a good sign; it means that they don't have a nest somewhere that they can enter to stay warm.
The combination of cold-induced lethargy and having them all so close together greatly simplifies getting them with the wasp spray. At the target distance, the spray is just a bit smaller than the size of their cluster, so that just a slight rotation is enough to kill the dozen or so wasps in one action.
Somewhere, I'm sure, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is putting me on their list of war criminals to be tried after the revolution, right alongside the global warming deniers, wearers of leather, Republicans, etc.
