I know this is getting off topic..but but but. I have about an acre of 80 to 100 ft tall tulip trees [poplar] right next to the house. They do hover up there a lot. Thompsons is the only finish on the house...doesn't slow em down a'tall. [They just make funny faces and keep on drilling..and I keep on filling with silicon. Seal em up inside the hole!] I'm working on the bad bee gun [BBgun?..darn, the name has been taken] Similar to a potato cannon but shoots bird seed. Muzzle blast from an emptied shotgun shell works good...costs too much and worries the neighbors if very frequent. They only play with thier machine guns now and then. [They have wood bees too?] That's cool. Weapon of mass destruction? Pressure washer. Cleans em right out of the sky.
WD 40 does prevent the making of Mud Dobber nests [apartment buildings]. The mud doesn't stick. Ever been "flipped off" by a mud dobber? [Well? Go fill up a fuel line or air tool somewhere, turkey!] LOL PS Mud Dobbers are cool in some ways. They don't sting. They catch spiders and pack em in their holes like Dixie Cups. They like to hum tunes too. ..and they used to fill up wood bee holes while the bee was off to lunch. New contract at the Union Hall? OK, I quit now.
