If this works as advertised, I'd give it a shot before anything. Seems to have worked in 24 hours. Then pull the stump......

Stepped on a burrow once while clearing brush...fastest I've ever run and getting stung by hot pokers the whole way back to the truck!

I've heard this method works pretty good.

Looked for Taurus CS at Menard's and True Value in Bismarck this morning but no luck. Anyone know where it is available in Bismarck?

Guess it should read Taurus SC; not CS.

When I first taught at Standing Rock we would get them in the classroom, big time. The first time they turned on boilers for heat, we would spend the entire day making swaters and kill them all period all day. My room and the other one beside the boiler room was the worst. Funny shit watching 7th n 8th graders hunting wasps. Those were old shop classrooms with really high ceilings. We made a contest out of it.

Camping at Fort Stevenson, about an hour after we got here Wednesday afternoon had one fly up the leg of my shorts and got me in the middle of my thigh, about a half hour later had one buzz past my ear and waved my hand to shoo him away and the dirty bastage stung me in the neck.

Was hoping that my neck would swell up like a buck in rut, and ma ma tikka would give me a little................. but no such luck.;:;banghead

I bought a can of Spectracide Carpenter Bee and Hornet insecticide yesterday. It has a 6" tube like a can of WD40 etc and is supposed to foam when you inject it into the critters' entrance hole. I forgot to try it last evening after it got dark on a nest behind a landscaping block wall. Anyone have any experience with this stuff?

My local feed mill was pushing that stuff,stuck with the Bee killer foam stuff,two nests down and one left,slipped in last night with a shovel as it was pretty cool @ 48 degrees,hopefully that finished the deal.

so... update on the chicken and fipronyl. i used petguard or pet armor or some such product as it has the same percentage of fipronyl. the stuff for the big dogs cost the same as the stuff for the small dogs. first time i tried it, i completely overdid the dosage and put in .6 ounces. the yellow jackets sniffed it and left it only to harass me and my busch lattes all day long. i went back to the store and bought another package. this time i was adding the stuff and something clicked in my head while i was dosing the chicken regarding what he said in the video. so, i stopped what i was doing and rewatched the video. he says 1/2 teaspoon and not 1/2 ounce. well i had already added 1 teaspoon (two vials of the big dog dosage). i thought to myself "self. this should still work." i guess i was wrong. they didn't touch the stuff. i think they can smell the fipronyl in the chicken if the dosage is too high. either that or the fipronyl in the pet armor actually has some repellent mixed in with it and its possible the Taurus SC has some attractant in it (so, they eat it). a couple of the comments in the video claimed to have used the pet armor (or guard) stuff and it worked. regardless, if the weather warms up, i am going to try it again with the right dosage. i suppose i could just order the Taurus SC and be done with it. but, i want to know if they will eat the pet armor stuff since i've already spent $30 on this experiment. i know where the new wasp nest is. but, i can't locate the yellow jacket nest. the bait solution seems like a good solution to the situation where you can't find the nest... if it works of course.

Tempo dust. End of story. Can get it on Amazon with the hand duster. They carry the stuff on their bodies when they enter the nest and its the end for them all.

I might try this with Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide. Not sure how much to use but hopefully its similar...

Got cheap canned chicken from Menards, white and dark meat. Drained liquid and blended meat to coarse mush texture. Put in small snack bag and added 1 drop off cyzmic / oz of meat in can, 5 total. Zipped baggie and mixed well. Put about 1 tbsp of mixture back in can and Put outside near grapes on top of fence post. They definitely like this and are leaving with large mouthful. Hope they share with whole hive...

Also made hanging dispenser for apple tree area...

working?

 

[Lycanthrope]

working?

I put it out last night near dark, it was already fairly cool. Ill have to check after work to see if they got much of it today... I dont know where the nests are so it might be hard to measure its effectiveness. They were taking some last night so I assume they will get more today...

 

[hardwaterdriller]

Where did you find Cyzmic CS? I have checked around for the Taurus CS and haven't located any yet, I haven't seen this stuff either. Only thing I seem to find is Tempo.

Its just what I had handy so Im giving it a shot. Sounds like something containing
[h=1]Fipronil might be better for this task tho...[/h]

If the Ford or Chevy fail and they will.

I have a 97 Dodge Cummings 3/4 ton five speed 4.10 gears positive traction all the way around and a Ram on the hood.
Just took it out of storage yesterday as my 1/2 ton Dodge handles the boat and will change the oil tonight. Pleasure drive for the next month and then back in storage.

Just thought I would mention it in case one never knows.

Guess a green tractor will work also. So next time. db-2
