If you happen to be bitten by a pest, it is very important to identify the species of pests. Because some of them are very dangerous to humans, and you risk your life. Seeing a doctor in time can save your life. To avoid this, it is best to completely get rid of the pests. It is difficult to do this, so it is best to enlist the help of experts. When I needed to get rid of termites, I turned to https://ajverminatorpestcontrol.com/. I thought termites would eat my home, but these guys helped me get rid of them.

You could hear them hitting the ground all around and by morning that was all gone,,,, |

Pest control is a nightmare. Once we called a special service to get rid of parasites. It seems like all the chemicals should have worn off in 2 days, but half a year later we still smell this terrible smell.

Bald faced hornets or ‘Paper Wasp’ nest, ugly little buggers built one nest at the farm on a bus window, could see them working in it when first spotted it, then they miraculously went away, used wasp and hornet spray on the nest at first light.

Came across this down at the farm over the weekend. Was laying near the road. Amazed at what a bunch of insects can build.

Have carpenter bees here, aggressive, look similar to bumble bees but bore into exposed wood to make a nest, absolute brutal on cedar decks.

Must be the color cause the HD5 carcusses I was given all had many wasp nests. The good, possums or skunks or something has been taking the nests apart. The bad the case one has a 3/8 inch wide crack with wasps going in and out, don't think the other critters will get that nest.

Is it the orange color or what that attracts to these tractors?

Seems like more here this year too. We bought our house in 2006. Have always had a few show up around the porch every year. Spray em and smash em whenever I see them and has not been any worse than that until this year. I've had the WD and WD45 here since 2015 and not an issue with them either until this year. Noticed wasps around the toolbox and air intake on the WD one day. Sure enough they had a nest built inside the toolbox and inside the air intake cap. Took care of them and their nests then figured I'd better check the same on the WD45. They were in that toolbox too but not the air intake. Thought I was done with them for awhile. Just a couple days later I was getting the WD45 ready for a local tractor show. My preparations included hooking up my utility trailer to the WD45 so that I could haul 2 of my L&G tractors to the show too. As I was doing so, I had placed 1 hand on 1 of the WD45's lift arm latches and immediately got stung on my thumb. Retreated to the house to treat the sting. When I went back out, there was still a couple wasps hovering around the lift arm. Sprayed them and when they hit the ground, they got the blow torch. Waited a few minutes and after not seeing any more, I opened the lift arm latch to discover a nest inside that but no more wasps. Hit that with the torch too. That was a couple weeks ago. Just the other day while walking the dogs, I noticed a couple more flying around the 190XT which has only been here for a month now. I have yet to investigate and eradicate this latest sighting.

Folks,
Brush hogging with the D17 this morning and made a circle around a tree and drove away when a bee/wasp/hornet nailed me in the back of the head. I have been stung many times and it still hurts! No idea what it was, and did not see a nest in the tree? Maybe ground bees?
Regards, Chris |

Next time you get stung go get a cotton ball or some toilet paper and put some bleach on the sting. It'll stop hurting and won't swell. Or mine don't anyway. I don't know that it'll do much for those that are allergic but it really helps me

Yesterday I went to pull a battery core out of a old suburban. Stirred up a BIG red wasp nest when I opened the hood. Got away quick without getin stung. Went back early this morning in the dark with a flashlight and pulled the battery. I woke up 3 just as it was getting light enough to see them and mashed them to jelly with my flashlight. I figure the $18 for the core was worth the chance of getting stung.

I went and got a back treatment from our Dr. I ask him if they'd had much trouble with them this year. He said people have had a lot of trouble with them.

I got chased down bu a swarm of those bald faced hornets the other day. Not too bad, only got bit 3 or 4 times, and I can't run very fast at all. I wished they had to put flashing lights on those things! I've got caught off guard twice now because I didn't see the nest.

I walked around the house last week and killed three nests up under the overhangs. Last time I got stung my hand swelled up for three days. Went to doctor and told him I have never been allergic to them before. He said "You are now".🙄

I don't know about the wasps,but that idea has to do with honey bees. In nature bears where the cridder that is the hardest for them to chase away from the hive. So they go after the carbon monoxide/or the warmer air the bears are exhaling as there nose is about the only thing there stinger can do damage to. I have disced up yellow jacket nests ( ground bees,meat bees) and seen a few that must have been using this idea as they dive bomb the tractor exhaust pipe. I have held my breath and got lucky,other times not so much.

We've seen a bunch of them this year too. According to my father in law, if you hold your breath they can't sting you because your skin isn't breathing. He claims he used to do this when he would hit a yellow jackets or wasps or hornets nest when he was doing a lot of grading. Claims when he saw them come up he would hold his breath and put the dozer in reverse and start knocking them off of him. Don't know how true it is. Never tried it

I used to have them real bad around the house. Now in the spring first sign of them I kill them or through gas on them before they have time to multiply. I have cut down on the the numbers significantly.
