Good day fellow DI’ers.
With the cooling temperatures overnight here in the usually frozen north we are having an exceptionally bad time with stinging insects. Yes every year is the same, but this year they are extremely aggressive and quick to sting.
I am allergic, not anaphylactic, but usually require a quick trip to town for IV steroids and fluids.
My work partner decided to take on a medical standby gig for a rodeo and chuckwagon races this weekend and said that they had dozens of of sting injuries as well as six that required transport to hospital in one day.
At home here I hang a few of the fake nests around the place as well as under the deck and that usually helps a lot. This year the little bastards have built a nest about 25-30 feet up a Spruce right in front of my deck. Too far to reach with the spray foam stuff unfortunately, but they are bad ! Really bad.
Any of you folks having the same experience?

If it’s hot, wet and sticky and it’s not yours, don’t touch it!
