Sort of a similar situation here that I just learned about yesterday.
We're getting ready for hay season, and the big cab-over-engine flatbed we use
to move hay bales is now very much inhabited by either wasps or hornets. I
don't want to go the "wasp bomb" way, but we can't get close enough to tell even
where the nest is. Might be way up in the engine compartment, or they
might be flying through a vent to/from the cab itself.
Unfortunately, the windows are rolled up and we can't get the doors open
without getting stung to even see if they found some entrance/exit into the
cab. I'm not sure how to proceed with clearing this vehicle other than the
so-called bomb. Any ideas? If they were honeybees, I'd be delighted
to have another hive and I could vacuum them while wearing my bee suit in
perfect safety. But hornet and yellowjacket stingers go right through
those suits. I'm not looking forward to this particular farm
project. Not at all. Time for an exterminator?
