...have made a nest in my wheel well! I guess its been a while since I drove the 'Maro! Wasps have taken up residence in my left rear wheel well! I got stung by one of the little bastards last weekend while opening the hatch but there wasn't a visible nest. This is what we were greeted by when we returned from Oregon this afternoon!

This pic was taken shortly before I soaked the nest with Raid Wasp Killer!

You do know that smoke drives them away.....heavy left foot and heavier right foot solves the problem.

Make sure you wash everything down, that stuff is corrosive. BTW do you know whats in that stuff? Main ingredient is a form of meth.
