I love the way the three in the middle are looking at you with their little antennas pricked.

Why, yes, of course. They were very cooperative and helpful.

Well, that and the fact that I approached the grill cover with an large open trash bag. I put the opening of the bag over the opening of the grill cover and swallowed them up, so to speak. I repeated this a couple times with a couple more bags. As the yellowjackets out on patrol returned to find their hive home condemned, I sprayed them with -- hehehe -- window cleaner, since that's what I had in a spritz bottle, and when they were wetted and downed, I smashed them. This took care of the remaining twenty or so.

I would just buy a new grill cover. Sometimes ya just gotta let go.

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.

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..
