The real trick is to make sure you get the whole bunch of them as any that
escape will be madder than heck and come after you. Best time to spray is
late evening or early morning, these guys don't fly at nite,
Also make sure you wear eye protection and a mask. This stuff can burn your
eyes if you get it in them and if you inhale or swallow any it can be bad
news.
This usually not a problem when you are on the ground as you can spray it
away from you, but since you will have to climb the tower part way you will
be spaying over your head and the liquid could fall back into your face
bottom line be very careful
