Darn bee’s

I stepped on a yellow jacket nest in my back yard and got stung 15 times . I had some old 3d targets laying on the ground and the nest was under a piece of target I stepped on. So I decidedto go out at night and take care of them . Bad idea because they stung me another12 times . I did have my outside lightson in the yard. I finally got ridof them by using Brake Clean. It can drop them with one little spray. Get a couple cans and just spray if they get close and get your stuff.
 
Yes sir definitely going around!! I got smoked in the head about 8 or 9 times by wasps and most of them stung me in or very near the same spot which makes it alot more painful! Little bastards got what was coming to them though I killed everyone I could locate needless to say I am kinda vengeful!!!
 
I got stung 7 times a few weeks ago. I really hate yellow jackets. I didn’t even know I was standing on their hole until the first one lit me up.

We gotta lot of hard clay at my house. Ground hornets love it for nest. They got me in the ankle just playing ball with the dogs. Popped the gfs poor toy poodle who then wanted war with them as well. Brake clean works good and potent. . Used acetone in a light pressurized spray application can as well cause it makes a misty fog. Good luck !!!

I was loading some wood off an old wood pile in the back yard into the truck on Friday morning and disturbed a ground hornets nest in there. Took a couple of stings before I was able to process what was going on. I unloaded two cans of hornet spray into the hole they were flying in and out of and then we went off for our camping trip. Got back this afternoon and they're still all fired up . . .

hornet spray?

would that make sense to carry in the field? I was in Western IL doing an archery hunt last week. Was setting up a DRT line and throwing a throw ball. I was grabbing it and put my right hand on a tree and felt like I got stabbed.

I walked away and was like "what happened"? I walked back after a few minutes to get the ball and noticed buzzing around the throw ball. I had been landing a ground nest.

It was under a nice tree -- but I just moved 20 yards away.

So, my question is also -- if I took this in the field would this smell up the area and spook deer?

thx!
 
I've been attacked while off-roading while up in Tennessee.... My buddies and I were driving up a dry creek bed...we were at a steep ledge of a small waterfall...first guy made it up and parked off to the side so he could help spot for the other drivers...second guy makes it...third guy is giving it hell and his tire dislodged a big stone and it was craziness from there...
We had exchanges info with another group of off-roaders and they came and gave us a ride back to camp....we came back that night with protective clothing and we all did the 1,2,3 start engines and get the heck outta there.

FYI....straight bleach will stop the pain almost instantly
 
As a kid I was playing hide and seek. While running to hide I hit an old tire that had what I thought was bumble bees in it. Needless to say I was hit 26 times. That was rough.
