I second that. I was sort of hoping for a hospital bed follow up! Nice work Norm. I would’ve been nervous to find out I had a hole in my screen I wasn’t aware of.
So, Oliver was miffed about being taken off strategy but finally said, “Listen Speedo boy… Bangalore.” He is back on strategy. ( I did a test run in the garage and it goes right through the screen with almost no back splash)
Wow,cool video. That’s incredible that they’re still hanging on with such severe damage. Keep it up, it won’t be long now.

Final report. It’s over. After last nights close up water/soap attack, I went out there with my window extension cleaning pole and pulverized the remains. There were still a few wasps hovering today. They were non combative. ( Confused and nothing to protect) I was able to retrieve the window washing bucket and open the door to the propane tank without incident or protection.

While I’m glad you were able to successfully eliminate your foe. However, it’s a little anticlimactic that the enemy wasn’t given a fair chance to defend their home.
One of the best threads in a long time.

And now you can clean that grill. It is filthy.

I agree. This is the LR (or whatever they wanna call it…) at it’s best!
As a kid, back in my day (see Gen X thread), we’d knock down wasp nests with sticks, then kick the nest away. after a short while we could get it separated from the wasps, as they were still focused on the spot the nest used to be.
We’d then pop the little wasp larvas out and use them as fish bait. Excellent perch bait.
You grown ups with full beekeeper gear on and flame-thowers are wussies.

Wasp spray and a tennis racquet is all you really needed.
Tell me you wouldn’t have loved to play with the flamethrower when you were a kid
of course! and to be clear, playing with fire was a normal activity.
Is a squirt bottle with gas and lit matches on the ground near the anthill OSHA approved?
