So, I went outside to get some fresh air after being sick with the flu for a few days. I remembered I have yet to take down a "problem" that was in my shed since summer. When I first noticed it late summer, I thought I should wait until it's cold outside so "taking care of it" wouldn't bother its residents.

Take a look at the pics:







The biggest paper wasps nest NY state has EVER seen!

After it was taken out, my glove for compare:

Check out the "layering" of their nest, its just like a damn hotel!

There were 9 layers total, between those 2 pieces, talk about
nature and its amazement!

This stuff is kinda cool, anyone else like it?
Thanks for looking!

Well, during summer I can assure you there were many thousands of inhabitants. :eek2:

I took care of most of them with 2 cans of super shot Raid. It was my dual-fogger system! :jest:
