The flame thrower looks like fun. BTW, Bob, there are attachments to put
spray cans on extension poles, for example:
https://www.amazon.com/Attach-Your-Spray-Extension-Pole/dp/B004FEBDAI  but
I don't think you will gain more than 20 feet or so. There was some concern
for spray coming back down. Minor concern. I would not stand under a nest
being sprayed to avoid dying hornets from landing on me. --73, Mike, WV2ZOW
