The Dirty Deed is Done...

I stopped at Emigh Hardware this afternoon to pick up some hornet spray. Reached for the standard stuff; powerful; cautions about ingesting, breathing, etc.... but then noticed they sell a "Poison-free" hornet killer by Victor, the company that makes Safer brand pesticides. It's called VICTOR® POISON-FREE® Wasp & Hornet Killer and comes in the same style can as the standard stuff, but this one uses mint oil and sodium lauryl sulfate. It's very minty!

Will check tomorrow for any surviving hornets. I do feel bad getting rid of "pests"... but having a nest a mere spitting distance from my front patio table (not that much if any spitting goes on there) was just too close for comfort. Yup, the idea of having someone stung to death whilst sipping French roast coffee; or finally tackling the creeping fig; was a big motivator.
