[TowerTalk] Wasps and tower climbing

[Jim Miller]

Used carburetor cleaner in an emergency because it was the closest thing I
could grab and I needed something/anything right now.

Still, I recommend evening or night when they are all in and cold weather
when they can't move much.  The more you get the less that get you.  One a
tower, danger, bad news.  Safety gear, no clothing they can get into and
face mask and gloves if you can.

73, Jim
