It's on now.............

"A" got stung again by 2 yellow jackets. On her finger and her knee. I don't know why they keep coming after her. This is crazy. It stung her thru her leggings. She said "why does this keep happening to me? Is it because I'm so sweet?"

[KenP]

Yes sweety. It's because you're so sweet.

Poor little thing.

If "A" is a kid, then she's probably getting stung because she swats at the YJs and makes sudden movements. They have compound eyes, and anything that moves quickly usually gets attacked. If you stand still they won't do anything to you. They might even land on you, and walk around for a bit. They'll usually just fly off. However, if you see their abdomen start wiggling just flick them off.

Yes "A" is my 5 year old. She gets stung all the time. She can just be standing there doing nothing. It's crazy.

"she swats at the YJs"


"A" is a Natural Born Jeep Hater

I don't want anyone "hatin'" on my kids so I will not post their names in an open forum. "A" is my 5 year old and she calls her sister "that baby" so that is what I call them on elcova. "A and That Baby" A says " What is that baby into now?, What is that baby crying about now?, Where is that baby going?" it is so funny. Even Ken and CP started calling her That Baby.

She's getting stung for some other reason. She's been stung by nearly every type of flying insect we have around here.

She got stung by the yellow jackets because she disturbed the bush that was above their nest. She was lucky she only got stung twice. Is a big next with a bunch of little buggers.

When she was 2 she moved some toys where a gaggle of red wasps had just started making a huge nest and was stung several times on the face. It's been downhill from there.

BTW, me and yellow jackets just had war.

Hope no one calls the EPA.

Looks like you are winning the war... once sting on the leg is a minor casualty considering the damage you have done to them!

Paragon's "Scorched Earth" policy is very tough.
