    I hate when people call hornets, "bees."

    Mad as a hatter, or a Prius-chatter.

    Nah.
    Bacon and cider - plus a basement entrance.


    Yellerjacket traps can really cut down the number of the little nasties - without hurting the more innocent pollinators.

    MANY MANY can be home made with a little instruction from the YouTubes.

    Yep, see the pix I posted in post #1. I later gave instructions on how to build after someone asked. Very simple and only attracts yellowjackets with an occassional "fly."

    At the moment I have a store bought pheromone trap out. Also only trap yellowjackets with occassional flies. In four days, 12 yellowjackets.

    Again, early in the season. Ask how many in late August.
