More proof

That animals are much smarter than they get credit for

I was just out on the back deck getting ready to move some furniture around and my great dane was acting strange barking at me and walking away like he wanted me to follow him. I walked to the other side of the deck and he ran back to where I was standing near the covered deck table. I tried to walk back towards the table and he got aggressive with me and barked me back (with tail wagging). Then I noticed a wasp fly out from under the table cover. Turns out there was the largest paper wasp nest I've ever seen hanging from the bottom of the table under the cover. I would have gotten the #^&#^&#^&#^& stung out of me. I managed to defeat them without getting stung once by spraying the wasp killer into the nest up through the deck boards. Someone's getting a prime rib bone tonight!

I always found it best to wait to just before dark and then spray them ...most would be in hive

nice reward with the rib bone...just make sure you don't give it to him cooked....could splinter on the pooch

I have my Lab walk into the Chinese massage joints first. If he starts barking I just take off. He has a tag with our address and always ends up home if the chit goes down. They are so friggin smart!

Our mini Dachshund tangled with a hornet a last week,and lost, and got stung. Later that day we were sitting on the deck but she wouldn't join us. Every time I opened the door for her to come out, she pinned her ears back and tucked her tail, and went back to her bed. I think she might need some therapy.

Carbuerator cleaner folds hornets up in mid flight. Instant death.

Dish soup and water is a nice death for bees as they breath threw their skin and the soup prevents it.

Skippy what do you add to your dish soup: is that the dirty water rinse from dinner plates?

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
