Hornet nest. Best to leave it alone.

Although some good mantis food may come from it, don't go throwing any rocks :lol:

Ya know if you whack that with a stick candy comes out...

...stinging candy...

 

[idolomantis]

we had one here too... they kept fly in the house and we got stung a view times so we smoked them.

this is sorta off topic but is that a willow tree its on because my brother wanted one of those.

 

[hibiscusmile]

Thanks Rick, I will!

Thanks Asa, I won't!

Ha ha, no thanks I will pass!

I don't smoke anymore :lol: but your welcome to em!

Yes, willow, tell him if he wants one, I will send him a limb he can root, and be ready every time it

storms or winter comes or spring comes, he can go outside and clean up all the limbs it drops. They are

very messy trees, we just picked up from the latest hurricane a 8' x 8' x 6' pile of limbs.

Last year I had the paper wasps build inside the wall where my chimney is. It took me three days to clean it out! The wasps were coming thru where the drywall ceiling and fireplace brick meet, you can still see the burn mark where we were burning them as they came in!

If they are not too much of a nuisance now you could wait until winter and then bag the whole thing up. That is a pretty big nest.

Dang, that's huge! Douse it with gasoline and light it on fire!!! Wait, nevermind. That would be too expensive. Ummm, yeah, I guess just smoke it somehow.

We just used good 'ole tom's smokebombs from theprankshop.

good for everything... These things smoke like an old train.

I've seen a hornet's nest that size before... Scary..

 

[hibiscusmile]

It is about 30' up and the branch it is on is not strong, I am going to throw a shooting party in Nov I think!

 

[OGIGA]

Can I join? :lol:
