Seems pretty hard to reach and by the time I get positioned on it, they'll come after me. What to do, what to do. | | | 06-26-2011, 12:18 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: nj Posts: 1,099 | lol hose it down... __________________ 318ti MZK2 | | | 06-26-2011, 12:24 AM | #3 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | I'd part it out asap | | | 06-26-2011, 01:14 AM | #4 | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 | Quote: Originally Posted by cooljess76 I'd part it out asap | looks like the way to go | | | 06-26-2011, 02:15 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: San antonio, tx Posts: 135 | they will become inactive at night. you should get some wasp spray and saturate the area after it gets dark. a near-by porch light for you to see will be ok. | | | 06-26-2011, 02:55 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | get going around 40 or so and try to knock it off on someone's mailbox probably what I would do since I'm pathetically afraid of bees, wasps, hornets, etc. did you have the car sitting for a while or something? | | | 06-26-2011, 03:48 AM | #7 | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 | Quote: Originally Posted by macilona they will become inactive at night. you should get some wasp spray and saturate the area after it gets dark. a near-by porch light for you to see will be ok. | Yeah wasp spray is where its at. They drink regular insect killer like its kool-aid Quote: Originally Posted by tiFreak get going around 40 or so and try to knock it off on someone's mailbox probably what I would do since I'm pathetically afraid of bees, wasps, hornets, etc. did you have the car sitting for a while or something? | Hahahahahaha! I usually like bees and I don't bother with them. But some reason they always give me a reason to take down their crib by totally wack placement of it. We ran some water down with the jet setting on the hose, will brief you all on the situation tomorrow.

They looked like death with wings though. Sorry guys | | | 07-05-2011, 05:14 AM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Wichita Falls, Texas Posts: 1,364 | After I got my ti home I discovered what I think was a squirrel's nest in the air filter compartment. I'm sure in the course of things one or more squirrels commuted with the previous owner, or maybe they just took a one way trip. | | | 07-05-2011, 06:10 AM | #15 | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 | Quote: Originally Posted by jca After I got my ti home I discovered what I think was a squirrel's nest in the air filter compartment.

I turned into a 5 year old girl until I was confident they were gone. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
