So I was getting ready to leave the house this morning with Kat in the pram when I looked out the front door window to see a large yellow jacket nest on the ground. About 5ft from the door. It's about 7" high and 10" wide.
Lovely.
I called Mil (he's been traveling for work all week) and he says go to stark (kind of like a home depot) and buy wasp killer or use boiling water.
I'm thinking I'll use both.
Everything online says to attack after dusk, so I'll do that in 12~ hours. Use the wasp pesticide killer from a long distance and then wait 30-60 minutes and douse the nest with boiling water mixed with detergent.
What has everyone else done with yellow jacket nests?
Be sure to check if it is legal to destroy/move the nest as private person before. In Germany this is illegal.
Depending on the kind of wesp this can be a dangerous task without protective clothes and if one manages to mark you you will be in your house calling for help anyway before you can leave it again.
Denmark at the moment has no laws on removal of wasps (or hornets as they probably are) mainly because they didn't really migrate here until last year. Our summers are usually too short and too cold for them.
So far they aren't agressive but the nest has only been there for 24-36~ hours.
kill it while it is young and weak.
Mil is 100% right, boiling water or common pest killers will do brilliantly. if I were you though, I'd bat my pretty eyes, & ask a random neighbor to do the killing for me, no sense in risking life & limb with ample dim-witted men around. generally us males are up for a battle versus nature, whether it behooves us or not.
It's probably too late but....
1.) don't do anything
2.) don't do anything that involves poison while you're breastfeeding
3.) and definitely don't do anything without someone else there at the house to help you if things go bad. they should stay inside the house with a phone to dial 911 or whatever number you call in stupid denmark
Let's imagine the wasp killer isn't super effective, the wasps pour out of the hive in a berserk rage and sting you a million times in the throat and as your throat closes your eyes well up with tears because the baby is inside a locked house...how long it will be before Mil comes home to find you all dead?
way to go Mil, you just killed your whole family, you ***!
"Being the Dad" includes, but is not limited to, the manly handling of all dangerous situations.
whenever your wife calls, or texts or emails IT'S NOT FOR TIPS ON WHERE TO SHOP FOR WASP KILLER!!!
The correct response is /powdered toast man voice LEAVE EVERYTHING TO ME!
and then you heroically race over there and save the day.
go to stark /scoffs loudly /draws his hand back for a back hand slap why I oughta...
well I thought he'd be gone for a while, & Kara seems smart enough to kill some god damned bugs without fatal consequences, I wouldn't send her out into the yard with a .22 vs. a bear.
I think you're being over dramatic here, mein bruder.
I argue that he's not being overly dramatic enough!
Could you imagine the spiral of depression he would find himself in as he gets out of his car at the midnight and finds his wife dead strangled by the choke hold of the might wasp! His baby inside crying and starving having been left alone for hours and hours without the mother person?!!?!
So far they aren't agressive but the nest has only been there for 24-36~ hours.

In the next week or two, we're starting a job for the oil company and we'll need our packer, so we've been working on it. Part way through, wasps start pouring out of the cooling fins. I get to watch my cousin flail a 2x2 board around, run away, and fall on his *** twice. Oh, we got it running too.

this is when you pull out your phone & record him flailing & screaming like a school girl, then post it to liveleak & link it right here.
LOL! Why do I have the mental image of Nik and Mos (age ten) daring and double daring each other to shoot the nest with a water gun?
IDK. I'd definitely call someone to remove it, especially it being around the front door. I had to have honey bees professionally removed from the chimney of my first house. They're not as aggressive as hornets though.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
