Good point. I've never gone this route, so figured they'd be more
susceptible when awake and I had no idea there were so many in that
shed. No doubt this whole scenario will be repeated next season, but
for now I figure I jes eliminated a sh*tload of them sonsabitches.

nb didn't say if these were ground nesting, or the paper mache things in
an interior corner of shed. For ground-nesting nasties, best cure I have
found is put a window screen over the hole about an hour after dark,
pour about 2 glugs of simple green on the screen, and flood the sucker
with the hose. Finally tried that after wasting 20-30 bucks on spray
cans, pink powder, etc. Dumb things- a quarter mile in any direction are
dozens of acres where they can live in peace, but they have to build in
my yard? Nothing like a sudden 'bee fountain' while you are mowing in
shorts and a tee shirt, to make your day suck.
