I have NO intention of taking on the buggers (or buggies, as the case
may be) on my own. I just gotta FIND the hive before I can get an
exterminator. I've narrowed it down to under the deck and the eave of
the house, but I still gotta figure out HOW they're getting inside.
There's no holes in any of the window screens big enough to let a 2-inch
long insect in... Anyway, glad I could bring some levity to the board
yet again. And, to prove that, indeed, I stayed mostly on topic, let me
go on the record as saying that I would NOT want to mess with a hive of
Hornet spirits. ;P
