Shoot 'em right before dark.

If the spray shoots from 27 feet, shouldn't I (or the lucky person who gets to do this for me) be able to stand on the ground and shoot the spray at the nest?captmojo wrote:http://www.spectracide.com/Products-and ... iller.aspx

I fuckin' hate wasps. They have less usefulness than tarholes.
Making decision Friday. IF it stays on current track, or even better yet, even more east, then I'll be partying hardy at ChateauPA. If it looks like it's coming our way, I'm leaving town.CathyCA wrote:What preparations have you made for Hurricane Irene?
It would be one helluva commute, but you've always got a place to stay in Charlotte.CameronBornAndBred wrote:Making decision Friday.

(P.S. Either way, I'm going to be very worried about my place. If it gets smushed I have no idea what I will do.)
Don't forget to put the grill on the new trailer! ;)CameronBornAndBred wrote:Just woke up, and looked at the projected path...not looking good. They have once again shifted west and it comes ashore around Morehead. I'm spending the day packing up.
Go To Hell carolina! Go To Hell! You know you are always welcome here. DukePA and Stevo should be here with the animals.

Yes I've talked to Donna. I'll have Xiola too, and Millie does not enjoy her presence as much as Harley does.Very Duke Blue wrote:You know you are always welcome here.

Edit update...we have all decided to leave the beach. I don't want to be one of those Darwin award winners.
Go To Hell carolina! Go To Hell! 
GTHC & GTHIrene!
I don't think I'd put a lot of trust in that 27 ft distance stuff. From that distance, you'd better have an experienced notion of the spray's arc of travel to be accurate and on target.CathyCA wrote:If the spray shoots from 27 feet, shouldn't I (or the lucky person who gets to do this for me) be able to stand on the ground and shoot the spray at the nest?captmojo wrote:http://www.spectracide.com/Products-and ... iller.aspx

Thanks for the recommendation, CaptMojo. I've added Spectracide to my Hurricane Irene preparation shopping list.
Glad to hear it! A wise choice, to be sure.CameronBornAndBred wrote: Edit update...we have all decided to leave the beach. I don't want to be one of those Darwin award winners.
I'm waiting until after Irene visits to get rid of the nest. I'm hoping and praying that there is a chance that the wind and rain will do the trick.captmojo wrote: I don't think I'd put a lot of trust in that 27 ft distance stuff.

20? Maybe so. I'd be more safe to say, about 15. If you can hit it from within 20, outside the window should that be nearest, the window...with it's closing ability to as to keep away from missed critters, could be the best option. At the right time of day, missing the nest won't be too alarming to them. They'll stay close to home. These cans have a lot of pressure behind the spray (they will empty pretty fast) and I suggest that you get at least 2 cans (it's cheap at Lowe's) so that if you aren't a good shot, you have a backup can ready. I keep it in stock all year. It works very well on icky spiders too!
