[TowerTalk] Wasps and tower climbing

[WW4T at aol.com]

I think the problem is most prevalent  at the end of summer and  into the 
fall.....the "tower flies" as we jokingly call them,  are trying  to get warm and 
the heat absorbed and re-radiated on the metal towers is tailor  made for 
that purpose. On the other hand, actual "nests" are something else  altogether. 
  A word of warning...."sprays" ( even those sold as Wasp and Hornet  killers 
), are NOT the same with respect to "knockdown" power. Some are  virtually 
instantaneous....some take several seconds to kill or render the  critter 
harmless. 
  Sorry, I can't tell you what brand to use....I had several cans  over the 
summer and some worked great, some didn't. Yes, I was too busy at  the time to 
make a note of the most effective ones.
  Good luck!
