I've known for a couple of months now that I have a yellow jacket nest under my front porch...
I'm not interested in crawling under there to find them... I've taken the 'live and let live' approach. As long as they aren't bothering me, I won't bother them.
This morning I was in the basement machining a part for my Hendey project... and the yellow jackets started swarming... inside... around my machines... there was several dozen of them. Apparently, they have found a way inside...
My machines are just inside the wall behind (and below) the front porch. The basement wall is 12 inch block about 9 feet high, about 6 to 7 feet of that is below ground level.
Either they have found a gap between the blocks they can come through, or there is some way they can get between the top of the wall and the sill... IDK...
I really don't want to have to abandon my machines until cold weather...
Any ideas?
