Get Rid of Ground Wasps Without Pesticides
I know this is totally unrelated to birds but I also know that many of us have experienced a problem with ground wasps. Thought I would share this with everyone.

Re: Get Rid of Ground Wasps Without Pesticides
Neat idea! I don't believe I've ever seen them come out of the ground at my house.
I wish I had a foolproof way to keep them away from my house altogether. They build nests under every eave and boy am I scared of bees and wasps.
Sometimes I think it would be cool to be able to put a giant net over my house and yard!

Re: Get Rid of Ground Wasps Without Pesticides
I've had yellow jackets in the ground in my back yard and they can be deadly if the colony gets angry! I thought it's a great idea but it would not have worked for my last colony. Those yellow jackets built their nest right next to a wooden post for a privacy fence so I killed them by pouring boiling water on the nest. It took several tries but I won the battle and came out unstung!

Ewww! If the bees or wasps ever came in my home I'd leave all my stuff and move.
In my first apartment (when I was 17) there was a nest between the walls of my unit and the neighbor. They chewed a hole in their wall, and when they came home there was a swarm inside! I moved immediately!

our house is terrible for bees. i guess they like the siding on our house. they are EVERYWHERE! and somehow always get inside. i hate them almost as much as i hate spiders.
