[QUOTE="Ouachita, post: 1763379, member: 16802"] I'm feeling guilty now. I remember the first time I saw cicada killers. My 3 oldest, when they were kids, had each dug a beachball size hole in the garden. We were going to put a fertile mix in them and plant some Atlantic Giant pumpkin seeds so they could show them at the county fair that fall. A few days after they dug the holes, we took the soil mix to the garden and noticed the wicked "ground hornets" had burrowed into the sides of the three separate holes. I was afraid any method I employed to kill the first group would result in the other groups attacking. Finally, my pea brain lightbulb lit. I got some 1/4" mesh screen and carefully laid over each hole. Then pitched some gasoline and diesel in. Stood back and threw a match. It worked. Kids took first, second, and third place with their giant pumpkins. I had several people asked us our trick for growing them that big. "We fertilized them with hornets................." [/QUOTE]
