Uh Oh (Also, Wow)

Le wasp nest...there are two of these under our carport overhang. Yuck, on one hand, and on the other, totally awesome construction skills. How DO they do it?

Alas (for them), they will be removed tomorrow. I don't mind creatures passing through my property (except my nemeses, the gophers), but when they take up residence and start building their own little civilizations, they have to go. Remember George Costanza on Seinfeld, when he ran over a pigeon: "We had an agreement!!!" That's how I feel about rodents and bugs: "We had an agreement--you have rights of passage but you can't move in. You've violated the agreement, so bye-bye."

i love their construction skills too! after we've evicted them i steal their nests (the foziewisp thing, you know...) and use them for study and wonder. i also steal that great dirt the gophers go to all that trouble of leaving on the ground. it goes right onto the garden! what a thief i am!

We have them,too. Living so near the woods we have many critters that want to live in our house. It was not part of the bargain!!
