> Remember, rapid response (having your swarm gear ready to go [even with you]) is key to finding the swarm where it was last noticed. There's usually no telling how long the swarm has been in a particular location or how long they'll be there. So the best bet is channeling your inner pizza delivery driver & getting to the swarm in 30 minutes or less! (Driving safely of course!)
