do you light a match after the gas goes in???

You can, just don't be standing down hill from it when you do. Great way to get a hot foot, found that out the hard way as a teen.

Gas in the hole when the sun goes down, done.

Yep-

Just be sure to do it late. Middle of the=no bueno.

We received their vengeance first without any warning at all just pain....

Well the nest we drove over last year at the farm, must not have know this as they, got us and they made us turn off the
big blue tractor, jump and run for cover came back about 9pm, and gassed them and set fire to them, reclaimed our attacked tractor the next morning.

May we copy your post to a sign and have them read it? We want the first free past without pain.

Thanks in advance......

Absolutely! Just don't expect them to listen. All depends I think. I've had them tag me with no warning and actually been able to spot them after bush hogging in an area.

I've heard you can hug the engine and the heat will keep them away. I have my doubts! I've never tried this bc my natural reaction like you is to RUN!!

I'm going to ask again, who the hell is "we" and were you both on the tractor at the same time?

I've got to go tackle a nest probably tonight. Been nice knowing you guys.....

Gas may work, but wasp and hornet killer (You know, The stuff that's designed for the task) works a lot more efficiently and effectively with better residual effect.
I usually tape a piece of aquarium tubing to a 12' bamboo pole and shove one end into the spray nozzle, wait till after dark put the hose in the hole and give those suckers a full can wasp and hornet spray enema.

I had a neighbor ask me "what the hell I thought I was doing" pouring some gas out of a gas can on an ant bed that would not go away... this was a pissy liberal lady about three doors down. So next time I took a Mason jar full of gas with about five drops of green food coloring in it... I said it was ant killer... and that time there were no questions.

Should have told her to mind her own business or she would be next

Weedeater and watch em split in half. Just need to find the hole first.

 

[D_Max]

The problem is I have so much ground cover on top of the ground, I am not sure where the hole is... All though I can narrow it to a 4'x4' area.

Just take a rake and drag the ground cover back im sure you will find the hole

Get a paper plate and put a little tuna fish or cat food on it. Put it on the ground late in the day or early in the morning(easier to see them when the sun is shining sideways through the trees). Watch when they leave the plate and they will head straight to their nest. You'll probably find more than one.
