Besides CobraBoy?s cup of coffee, has anyone seen wasps/hornets anywhere besides at the nests copulating and creating baby wasps/hornets?

Where are they the rest of the time they have left before the "Big One" comes?

ZEUS: Define "soon"!

Self Defense

Wasp spray is also widely used for self defense instead of mace or pepper stray. A 20-30 foot stream of blinding spray without the possibility of the mace or pepper spray being blown back at yourself. Very inexpensive.
Also, wasp spray is supposed to kill a snake. Maybe not quite as effectively as my wife with a 20 gauge at close range, but at 20 feet it is a lot more accurate.

you need to take her to the range for some practice
20 feet with a shotgun(even a 20 guage) how does she miss??? I mean I might understand a 410 but :eek::eek::eek:

Unlike firearms, no licence needed

Robert, Delores is quite nervous when a 5' rattler is in a flower bed. Yes, she killed it. However in the states you cannot kill a timber rattler, they are protected. Here we ask the rattler three times "Are you a timber rattler" if they do not answer "Yes" you dispatch it to hell.
The last time was Saturday afternoon.

Well played, sir!

I'm curious-how long does it take to do said rattler dispatching to hell with wasp spray?

Don't know yet. I prefer to practice on a less vile reptile first, or maybe an armadillo. We have another one ripping its way through the front yard.

I would guess much longer than with the 20 guage!!!. Which would be the weapon of choice.

Even worse than the timber rattler would be the water moccasin had a few of them in the waters around Plant City.

We live in the woods in the hills at a golf club in Texas. Our snake of choice here is usually a copperhead, very few moccasins. When we were in Tampa we had moccasins and sometimes in our pool.
We'll have the chance to test the wasp spray on snakes.
