Just a little post to tell you about my day. I had to have the plumber out to check my boiler and while he was here, I thought I'd have him change my two outdoor spigots. They were leaking and were all crusted with lime. You know . . . well water!! Anyway, he fixed one and then informed me he couldn't get to the front one as I had a hornet's nest right there!!! And to think I was just out there the night before trimming my boxwood with a big cordless trimmer!!! It's a wonder I didn't get attacked. Anyway, I had to call the "Bee-Gon" guy and he came and took care of it. Tomorrow I can remove the nest. Phew!!!!!!!!
Did you know that the hornets make that nest by chewing on wood (probably my mulch) and making a pulp with their saliva to make the paper nests!! Are they clever or what! Well, they shouldn't have put it right where me and my dog are! All gone!
Shirley, I worked under a large azalea bush one afternoon pulling tons of weeds and trimming. I saw a dirty off white soccer ball stuck in my shrub and was just about to grab it when I realized it was a huge nest.
ReplyDeleteMy exterminator guy told me they were Bald Faced Hornets and were extremely aggressive and mean. Now I have to say they didn't bother one bit while I worked under their home, but had I grabbed it I might not have made it into my house. Whew.
We both just 'nailed' by a ton of hornets while trimming our azaleas bushes ... OUCH! lmtu! TTFN ~Marydon
