Wasps: 0 Dad: 1
The wasp hotel has been demolished: my dad got this powerful foaming spray to blast the nest, then proceeded to poke a big hole in it with what looked like the proverbial ten-foot stick, which got him even more access to the inside of the thing. The swarm was smaller than it was the other night, since he sprayed a bunch of them as they were flying home to roost for the night. The middle of it is now laying on the grass, covered in dead wasps in various stages of development. Nifty entomology lesson, but now we have bits of grey paper wasp paper drifting around the yard and getting tracked into the house.
