I have always heard the wise tail from the old timers that it will be a mild winter when the hornet nests are low . I cut it down and made sure it was vacated and give it a shellacking today. I like SINCLAIR and old American made stuff ... No china items.

I made my daughter get in the truck to be safe. I have heard stories of the ones that have thawed out on people once they have taken them inside . This one had a fist sized hole in the bottom were birds or moths had invaded it . My advise to anyone would be a put a nest in a large trash bag and load it up wasp spray over night to be safe.

I had to climb a tree about 20 feet to get it down, but we never see them here in North Dakota, and I just had to have it! Its been hanging in my office ever since! Its a great reminder of some great memories! Everything Cities Service Specializing in old Gas Pumps kwfrith@gondtc.com Cell#-701-739-6133
