It took months for the swelling to go down. So I'm very cautious around all of these stinging critters. The hornet was trapped under glass. Afterwards, I shook him outside and slammed the door before he came back inside.Susannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923063322849781223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-50749931013905459472014-08-19T01:05:51.176-07:002014-08-19T01:05:51.176-07:00I can do nicely without hornets coming to visit.

But just like the ants, he or she is looking for an opportunity to drop the wings and start a new home.<br /><br />(Also, while I can't tell you exactly what type of termite it is, I should probably note that only a relatively few of them cause damage to houses).Christopher Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075565866351612441noreply@blogger.com
