Houston We Have a Problem....

and this problem was huge. Bigger than Corey and I ever thought that it would be. Ok it wasn't like life or death but it was annoying. Those of you who have been in my backyard saw a wheel barrow and a big barrel with hens and chickens in it. If you don't remember seeing it, no big deal but the barrel with the hens and chickens was the problem. For three weeks Corey started noticing a bunch of wasps flying around the barrel and then they would climb underneath the chickens and disappear. Corey thought there was a wasp nest just under the chickens and planned to spray it down when it was evening and the wasps were all sleeping. Well he could never find a nest and no matter how many time he sprayed WD40 on the wasps or burned the wasps they kept coming back and there started to be tons of them. Well Corey was fed up and decided to kick the entire barrel over. And below you will see what he found. Pretty gross and out of control, but needless to say no more wasps and the barrel is still on its side.

This was the bottom of the barrel and wasps were crawling in through holes

This may look like just dirt by most of this picture is a wasp nest that has been destroyed. Corey said there were layers. The yellow and white are all nest. You can even see some of the cones.

Close up of one part of the nest

This nest is folded in half and was huge and still had wasps crawling on it.

Corey the exterminator see in one hand is a propane tank and in the other is a blow torch. Corey burned the heck out of the wasps and their nest.
