[Farmall] Yellow jackets

[Lyle Myles]

If you have the time to get rid of these little buggers I would suggest
staying about thirty feet away and pick them off one by one with a BB gun.
Only kidding but do hope that you are able to get rid of them with out
injury to yourself.

May the Lord be with each and everyone this beautiful day that the Lord has
given each and every one of us to enjoy and behold!

I found some aerosol spray-can stuff at my local farm store which is  
supposed to be pure menthol, and non-toxic to humans and pets.

I've used it on paper wasps, mud-daubers and ground nesting hornets.

Kills 'em dead, right now. No need to run ( it squirts about 15 feet ).
And it even smells nice. Worth looking for.
