Our family's path to becoming successful gardeners in the deep south of Louisiana .....! Enjoy and learn from our successes and struggles..... If you have questions, lets find the answers and see what grows best in Louisiana .
I have squeezed fresh juice from my ruby red grapefruit tree before it was killed by the 2021 Texas freeze. Best grapefruit juice ever. HEB has the closest juice to that.
I've got a huge paper wasp nest on my house. They're really territorial & btw one wasp can sting many times. I tried to be nice, but they've got to go... I'm going to try this! I've got a family of endangered Box Turtles, and other good critters around here somewhere & this will keep them safe! Thanks! (I'll be back for the Red Fire Ants !)
Very ingenious. And your cleaning the house at the same time lol. Wasps are a threat to the honey bee population they kill the honey bees! So all of them are as good as dead if they come on the property here. And I live in the edge of the forest so I have a lot of insects here.
Thank you for sharing and also for caring about the ones not bothering us. I think I have to do this to the vent that goes from my washroom and out on my balcony. I was out there vacuuming the cob webbs off of the vent yesterday evening & every time I started there was a wasp that came out of no where trying to get in the vent. It's like it has already set up a home in there? Things always try to live on my balcony because I have so many plants and other lovely things out there. Pigeons tried to make a nest (mess) a couple of winters ago. Wasps is a new one though. But I have tried to balance my home energetically like from an orgone energy point of view. And I take this as a sign & a compliment that they eould choose my vent to wanna make a nest, but in the words of Honey Brown: "Ain't no BodEE got time for that!"
Actually the Dawn worked better than the Polmolive dish detergent. Supposedly it does not matter, but I used the P first and the wasps did not disperse like I thought. They were still there the 2nd day. Purchased to D and it wiped them all out. So I think there is a difference.
