After Jenna got stung Roland told me to call an exterminator. Normally when I Google something (such as pest control) I skip their first suggestion and move on. Evidently Roland goes with Google’s first suggestion and had me call an overly expensive pesticide which uses a contracting system – only we did not know that until 10:30 yesterday morning.
The agent was nice and
obviously honest. Each of us believed
the Yellow Jackets were just a one time thing as we have lived in this house
for more than four years and have never had a problem with Yellow Jackets –
even during the time our deck was being built.
So I called another company
and an exterminator was sent out that afternoon. He first approached us without protection but
realizing how close the nest was to the driveway quickly changed into his
protective gear. Roland bravely watched
him from the deck. Not me. The pictures are not the best as I stood
behind the protective glass.
I saw the yellow jackets stir
after the exterminator had upset them.
Serves you right, you little varmints.
We never did anything to indicate that you are/were welcome in our
yard. Apparently the nest was buried
further into the ground or plants than was at first believed and the man was
able to remove only about half of it. He
returned without his suit to spray some more.
Brave soul. But I could see the
suit he had on had been extremely hot. We
were told there should be no problem after today.
