Ouch!

A while back while we were working inside the house building walls. I got stung by something. I was standing on the stairs taking a creative picture of the guys below me when something buzzed my ear and landed on my shoulder. It then proceeded to sting/bite me on the neck and a couple of times on my back. Holy cow it hurt!! After that we bug bombed the house. We found a bunch of dead flies but never anything that could have stung me like that. Flash forward to today. Apparently hornets decided to take nest up by the roof. They built a huge nest up next to our ridge beam. So we bought some spray that was supposed to spray 20 feet. Dana crawled up on a ladder in the middle of the night to spray them. The spray only sprayed about 5 feet. The hornets are 27 feet in the air! So Dana had to crawl up on the Gradall platform to spray them. They got mad! A couple of them thumped Dana in the chest while he was spraying so we decided that was enough for tonight. This was what we found when we got up in the morning:

They were everywhere. But somehow we didn't kill all of them because they've come back twice more now to rebuild their nest. We finally bought some different spray and it seems that they might possibly be gone for good. Lets hope so, because we're spending a lot of time building the porch on that side of the house and I don't want to get stung again! Yuck!
