so if you clamp on the body with a pair of
(just before the head)
forceps that you can easily twist or twirl

you can turn them out real easy (counter clockwise)

yanking them out almost never works.

see the serrations in this blow up pic is why they cannot be
yanked out like a bee or wasp stinger...and must be UNSCREWED

learn something new every day, part of the day............. check.

had no idea. good tip. pulled two off coop already this year.

yer a fart smeller...........errr smart feller
