I've used the sprays that shoot 20 feet with great effectiveness around my house. However, one should read the warning label carefully. You really do not want to breathe the stuff or get it in your e
I'm probably not the only phone guy who's shot a few Rottweilers in the face with a can of this stuff to save my butt. It works much better than pepper spray, and shoots further. The best is called "
Ah, stinging flying beasts. I was climbing some HBX one time and when I got just below the rotator plate I ran into a nest at eye level that had enveloped the whole tower at that point and was at lea

I had a rather large nest of white face paper hornets in the top of a 32' tower used for 6M. The nest surrounded the mast and "belled" out down toward the rotor plate.. When I shook one of the guys o
My anecdotal info is that the bee venom is a protein; which supports the notion of meat tenderizer as an agent to break it down. Seems to make sense, and has worked for me. Chuck, N4NM it have List S
