Talked to the propane delivery guy the other day. He carries a case of wasp spray with him this time of year. The wasps like to nest in the covers over the fill spout on top of the tank. He said they have been extremely nasty this year. He used words to describe them that can't be used here.

After this, I am even more convinced everything black and yellow is from hell.
Seems like we have had a ton more wasps this year. Usually find a couple nests under the edges of our pool, this year I had to dispose of 8. They then moved to the roof I added on to the back of our garage that covers my bar. 4 more nests up there. Don't like those ****s.
Anyone ever get in the middle of a bald face hornet nest? Those things are aggressive and will kill.
Global warming, this is pretty much the beginning of the end.
So last night, were at a surprise birthday party. Tons of people and kids. Guys little girl starts WAILING like she just broke her leg. Everyone is totally freaked out. Turns out she got stung by two wasps from a HUGE nest in the swing set.
I was mid sentence talking to a guy with mouth full of maid rite. When I heard wasp nest, I immediately said, to loudly, F**K this!!! And ran out of the house to our house to get this turbo spray I bought two days ago. I walked back over like I was ready to kill 7 humans. Everyone, including my wife was slight distraught by my Batman-esque attitude. I executed over 45 wasps in less than a minute. Then I came too and turned around to see many people about ready to give me a standing ovation. It was one of the greatest moments of my life.

A Menard's run for chemical weapons of mass destruction is on my errand list today.
Out of wasp spray so yesterday I had to go with ant-roach spray (stinky stuff, man, just smelly). Sprayed and put the door mat over the deck board to keep the "gas" in.

so was your nest a breakaway from theirs?
it sounds as though you have officially joined the 'death to all yellow jackets" team. Nice job, OP. Nice job.
What the hell does OP mean? I've been wondering for for a several days and forgot to ask.

the summer of our nest discovery, I had had a wasp fly into my face, get stung grabbing a door handle, and went down into our basement to get tomato sauce - stepped on (what I thought was) glass - looked down and a yellowjacket was squirming between my toes. I had to pull the ****** out. In hindsight, that should have been a clue that there was a big ******* nest down there somewhere. Took us another couple weeks.
Husband wonders why I'm such a spaz around stinging insects. He doesn't understand. Once you've been through the war, it changes you.
No end caps on my childhood swing set. They were in the piping/tubing.
We had lots of gasoline since my dad was a fuel delivery/sales guy. Burn baby burn!
