So, I have a small wasp problem. Nothing too major, but I hate wasps...with a passion....and a small nest appears to be somewhere in the gunnels to the right of the captain’s seat. They fly out from under the steering wheel and also the small hole by the rod storage aft starboard.

so, 2 bug bombs to drive them out, and maybe kill them, if I am lucky....then I had a more powerful pump spray can....sprayed that like 15 times on each side....then a whole can of foaming raid, up the gunnel. I’ll let that sit and later tonight, the big guns...a pump sprayer I have with commercial grade killer....followed by another fogger.

Then, take the boat for a spin tomorrow and stop about 10 miles away and remove the panel beside the captain’s seat and air that thing out and kill whatever is left.

I hate wasps..jes sayin lol

Russ, I was working on my yacht yesterday and I keep hearing this buzzing sound. Finally I look up and see this hornet and the burgeoning hornet nest smack dab in the middle of my hard top. Eight inches away is a paper wasp building a nest and today while I was inspecting my in hull transducer I see a wasp or two flying in and out of the underside port side gunnel. Got the wasp spray out and made short order of them all. It's spring and wasps are being wasps.
 
So the wasps are what’s getting this boat in lol. Jking take pics of her out for a spin of I don’t think any of us will believe it lol.
 
Eh, massive storm inc. not sure the weather will let us do much tomorrow, but we will see.
