[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 116289, member: 3419"] DDD, the mailman was the first thing I thought of ... s/he won't want to deliver the mail, so you'll have to do something about this. I agree with-Marg, you have to figure out what kind of wasps they are. I've never been stung by one and we've got them over our door. Every yr we remove their home and every yr they rebuild. We also had ground wasps at our old house, and I left them alone because I hoped they would fertilize my garden (I'm a very lazy gardener!) One thing I do b4 working in the garden is take a bunch of Vit. B complex. It comes out through the pores of your skin, and bugs and insects don't like it and will stay away from you. We have fig trees and I know our bigger wasps live off of those. Wasps' bodies are long and thin so they can squeeze inside the stem and fruit, unlike bees, which pick up pollen on their hair. We lost a lot of trees during Hurricane Isabel, and the landscaper refused to remove a tree blocking the boat path because it was filled with-wasps' nests. I found a neighborhood beekeeper to check it out for me because I know there are certain types of bees and wasps that are very valuable. Turned out I had a K-mart Blue Light Special Wasp and he told me to nuke 'em. [img]:smile:[/img] I poured chemicals on them at night. The concept of a wasp sting didn't bother me as much as the boatload of chemicals I was dumping. Argh. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
