New or not, the grill cover had to go. And in a way that severely restricted its airspace. I simply instituted a 4mil black plastic no fly zone.

I'd have burned the house down.

Thanks to your example, I knew what to do when my son came to me this morning with a yellowjacket in his shirt. :eek:

I grabbed a garbage bag and threw it over the yellowjacket, shirt and all.

We didn't tie it up to suffocate the poor thing, though. I had my son take it outside and dump it out.

Apparently, the yellowjacket has been in his shirt for a couple of days, ever since hubby brought it in from the drying line.

Weird timing, isn't it, that it happens while we have this thread running.

fixed it for me...
Excellent!!! Once I got the yellow part out of my mind. The whole "shirt and all" part left an image of you with a bag full of shirt yellowjacket and son. Congratulations!

an interesting coda here, an hour later we were at the grocery store getting some dinner fixins and I felt something tickling my leg. I was wearing some light loose hiking pants with long zippers at the cuffs. I unzipped the cuff and pulled up the pant leg there in the store... Yup. There was the last of the yellowjackets crawling up my leg about six inches above my knee on the outside of my thigh. I was so surprised, I didn't take a picture. (I know, pretty surprised, eh?). Flick, squish. My genocidal satisfaction was finally complete.

Awwww...the poor little guy was plotting to take his revenge on you for killing his family.

(He must have gotten the idea for what to target from the other bee thread..;))

Sometimes, I do feel like doing just that!

Sorry, no, son wasn't wearing shirt yet.
