Learned something new today. If you have a breaker randomly tripping and hear a buzz in the box don't make any assumptions about a bad breaker. It could be a BIG AZZ red wasp nest. About messed my drawers when I pulled the panel cover. Only one sting and lucky I didn't get a dozen. realmad I am now declaring war on every wasp in Denton county.

And no I didn't get any pics.


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

I take off all panel covers with the expectations that I may attacked. We have encountered herds of mice, rats, lizards, snakes, a coon in a large electrical cabinet, he came in through an unused 4" conduit. Wasps are the norm.

Today I had a big tree limb that broke off a dying elm so I picked it up with my tractor bucket. I got lucky and it stayed put all the way to the upper part of my place. I knew there weren't any trees around so I was cruising along without being able to see past the limb and hit an old deer feeder that I keep there just for looks. It dumped over, the lid came off and it was full of red wasps. If Kubota tractors had an eject lever I would have pulled it.

Glad you're relatively unscathed. My folks bought a place, south of Fredericksburg, in '68. It had 4 or 5 animal pens out front, each with its own shed. The place had been abandoned for many years and each shed had a red wasp nest at least a foot wide. To this day I enter unknown structures very, very cautiously. scared
