small (but painful!) wasp/yellojacket nest on ground under sticks: KILL;HOW?
Yeah, I can still use my right hand for typing, like now, but
that's about it. Twice as thick as the other hand. Called HMO, they said come in, maybe for a shot.... So, I gotta get rid of these beasts! What I have is this: depression in front yard maybe two feet across 8inches deep, near street; so, to protect people from stepping into and tripping, I put wood from blown-down branches, to make level with surface. (rocky ground 2 inches under, hard rains, loose dirt just washes away, probably what I did is stupid, but it *was* quick and easy.) Anyway, after remnants of katrina or something up here in NY state, branches blown down, so I added a couple, AND GOT STUNG -- twice, on cheekbone, and on back side of right hand. Cheek ok, hand twice normal thickness. And I go to doctors-office (they said to) in 10 min. And, damn it, I don't want to get stung again! So, how to get rid of nest or whatever? ------ Only one or maybe two of them went after me, and that's all I saw. No "swarm" So probably not a HUGE nest. So, two questions: 1: main one: how to destroy wasps or whatever they are (it is?) without getting stung again? 2: secondary one: how to fill depression, when below ground is almost solid rock? (result must be wasp-less!) Thanks, David |
