Life In The Boondocks

I don't know of any home remedies Mary...I looked on the internet but I'm not sure any of these will help you..

If you are brave and not afraid of wasp stingers you can try one of the home remedies to get rid of the wasps.
If you find a wasp nest hanging from one of the trees in your backyard, all that you have to do is to light a small fire beneath it. The smoke from the fire will choke the wasps. Due to suffocation, some of the wasps will die while others will abandon the nest.
Wasps are attracted to anything sweet and sugary. Here is another home remedy to get rid of the wasps that are hanging around your house or garden. Make a hole in the lid of an empty can. The can should resemble the gallon milk jugs. Fill it half with sugar water or sugar syrup. If the can has a handle, hang it on the tree branch, using a string. The wasps will be attracted to the smell of sugar. Once they enter the can their wings will get stuck in the sugar water. Eventually they will die drowning in the sugar syrup.
The wasps are also attracted towards the garbage bag. Therefore it is suggested that you close the mouth of the garbage bag tightly before leaving it outside.
Keep your surroundings clean. The lawns must be trimmed and the tall weeds should be removed before they grow. The reason, is the wasps prefer to build their nests there.
If you are holding a barbecue party, make a homemade wasp trap. You would need a few pieces of beef liver. Using a string, tie the liver to the branch of a tree far away from where you are planning to hold the party. Few inches beneath the liver pieces, tie an empty milk can half-filled with soap water. The beef liver is used as a tasty bait to attract the wasps. The wasps will gorge on the meat. They will feel heavy to fly back and will fall inside the soap water. The detergent in the water will render their wings useless. The wasps will die by drowning in the water.

Hope your MIL feels better soon, that must hurt. I had to look up the conversion on tempurture to figure out what you were talking about.. it's warm here too..heat index of 105 +...that would be like 40.1C for you I think.

I loved it too..but I think some folks freaked out that she talked to God...I don't understand why..but they did..just like that other show where the preacher did the same, it was a great show..but church folks had a hissy fit about it.

Draw the line at gerbels..they are mean fuzzy critters who like to take chunks of skin outta your fingers.. Now for a truly unique bonding experience...chocolate, silk scarves and mood lighting...that will make him squirm a lot..

I can so totally understand your animal phobia...I have bad sheep karma..I don't ride anymore, but that pork chop on a stick looks really good..

Have fun
