It's Wasp season!

I'm sure most of us deal with wasp on many of our inspections. It is only April and I have gone through about 4 cans of wasp spray already.  Either I'm inspecting a bunch of homes with wasp or the wasps are just bad this year.

Last week, I had an inspection and I did not see the wasp nest above the back door.  Unfortunately for me the wasp were a little more observant and I was stung on my arm.  It hit so hard that it left a little blood.  Luckily I really don't have much of a reaction to them, but you just never know.

Down here in the south we deal mostly with what I have nicked named "Nuclear Wasp"!  The Red or Mahogany wasps pack quite a wallop when they sting.  They are also very aggressive and will attack many feet from their nest.  This is a close up picture of a Red Wasp nest that I found a while back at a home.

Anyway, just be sure that you have that wasp spray in your tool bag.  You never know when you will need it.  I really like the one that shoots out like foam.  It stick to everything it hits.
