It was on the way to the outhouse, no fun at all. <br /><br />Thanks everyone for stopping by and commenting on my Critter post.

We had to phone friends to help as my husband didn't know what to do, and I couldn't reach close enough to spray it.<br />I agree with you, live and let live whenever possible, but wasps are an exception to that rule. Ant nests, too, I'm afraid.<br />By the way, thanks for your kind comment on my poem. I know you understand what a loss a mother is.<br />KKay L.
