    Here's the bird's eye view - marking the location of the nest. Might-should I leave it, to keep the jellow jackets away?

    I would just put this up here, but it's too big (NSV!!!!!I've never used those words, in that combination before!!).

    Yeah, that's a huge bees nest- Since it's already Aug.- may I suggest waiting until the weather gets cooler?
    Bees are less active then.

    Sincerely,

    I suggest full body snowmobile suit, helmet, tall boots, gloves and an entire case of that foamy wasp/hornet spray. Good luck! Hate those guys!

    Do you have friends in the nuclear arms business? I have a feeling the only way to destroy that kind of evil is with WMDs. :P Best of luck my friend, and if you try to do it... send me a Youtube link, because that NEEDS to be recorded.

    Your hornet is terrified of this sucker!

    gianthornet1.jpg



    From: Japan, obviously.
    Why you must fear it:
    It's the size of your thumb and it can spray flesh-melting poison. We really wish we were making that up for, you know, dramatic effect because goddamn, what a terrible thing a three-inch acid-shooting hornet would be, you know? Oh, hey, did we mention it shoots it into your eyes? Or that the poison also has a pheromone cocktail in it that'll call every hornet in the hive to come over and sting you until you are no longer alive?
    Think you can outrun it? It can fly 50 miles in a day. It'd be nice to say something reassuring at this point, like "Don't worry, they only live on top of really tall mountains where nobody wants to live," but no, they live all over the goddamned place, including outside Tokyo.
    Forty people die like that every year, each of them horribly.

    Yikes! What you gonna do? Id just move house if I were you :D

    :)

    I have 9.95 other acres to live...gonna take them out with wasp spray. At night. Geared-up. From within a truck. Hiding like a little girl with just my hand out of the window, holding the can. :p

    Doing better than I would. I'd be becoming best friends with the Orkin man or something.

    Bald-Faced hornets.

    Large pic - here's the url:

    http://www.d-mphotos.com/images/hangingnest.jpg

    Bald-faced hornets are aggressive and will attack anyone or anything that invades their space. This makes bald-faced hornet removal somewhat difficult. They have smooth stingers, so they can sting over and over again. Their stings also carry venom that makes the stings hurt, itch, or swell for about 24 hours

    OMG OMG OMG! This is what is in my dogs playhouse!!!!!!!! I knew it was a hornets nest so I locked all 4 dogs out but I have not attempted to kill or touch the thing! It's as big as a disco ball. I'm so scared. Going to call Orkin I guess. I had never seen something like this before.

    Do you know if they can live through a Chicago winter??
