I went in the house and put on a jacket and hat and grabbed the gas can and went out to burn em out. Poured gas on the hole and before I could get it lit, those basturds jumped all over my ass and ate me up.
Yep, diesel works better and is safer (less vapor).NVGator;n304355 said:You're probably lucky you never got that match lit.
They are badazzzz/. I had them stinging kids at school for awhile when we exercised. They are aggressive even if you leave them alone. I found the hole behind the back building. Looked like over a thousand. Poured in some gas and covered it. Killed them all with no bite. My son was torn up a few years ago mowing over a hole. Nasty creatures.crosscreekcooter;n304307 said:When I first moved to Atl I was cutting the lawn and ran over a nest in the ground and got a couple of stings.

I don't f*ck with insects the size of Miatas stinging me with machetes.MJMGator;304647 said:Be a man...knock the **** out of it with a broom and stand your ground.
