The traps work really well, but don't put it out until after dark.
all the nice environmental sites said if there was a wasp/human intersection - KILL. They are not human friendly or pollinators. We trapped then sprayed and dug and sprayed
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
IF you were going to describe your decorating ethos in a few words, how would you?
Pet hair, piles of crap, stacks of books, coffee mugs.
in Target's clothes section today, I had a flashback to the very early 90s, high school. Could have easily recreated some outfits I had back the. Floral baby doll dresses, overalls, denim shirts over crew necks, even the damned full pants rompers.
I loved me some floral babydoll dresses, with stompy boots or cowboy boots. Total 90210, whatever season their freshman year of college was. And I kind of lived in denim or chambray shirts over a white crew-neck my sophomore year of college (which was, in fact, 1990-1991).

comfortable, easy, opps stuff, and cat hair

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yellowjackets and wasps are different things. Anne, frankly, I'd hire an exterminator. My FiL was stung so many times he nearly died, trying to eradicate a yellowjacket nest. YJs are hornets, and much tougher and hard to get at than wasps.

IF you were going to describe your decorating ethos in a few words, how would you?
Books, blankets, travel, quirky, cozy. And more books.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
IF you were going to describe your decorating ethos in a few words, how would you?
Indiana Jones' library. At least, that's what I aspire to. In reality, it's antique/vintage stuff covered with a fine patina of cat hair and clutter.

Someday it will be determined that there are preservative properties in cat hair.

Annoyingly, my neighbors have a yellow jacket nest in their eaves, and I told them (it's the back of their house but the front of mine) and they said they got someone out who told them it was yellow jackets, but "they'll all fly away in about six weeks or so, and we are going to wait until that happens to seal it up". Ugh.

Oh, Matt, you still haven't had cats long enough for that...
