Please tell me the name of the spray that you can use indoors. This will solve so, SO many of my problems in life.
Any indoor flying insect spray will work. I used to have special wasp spray, but I found that Raid flying insect spray works just fine, it just doesn't have that jet that can nail a wasp 20 feet away.

OH oh, Evo if they are yellow jackets they can mess up a wall pretty quick. They will chew up the insulation and work on the wall board. Time to call a professional pest control and I would do it now.

That's warm! That's like ideal temperature.

Yes, very warm. I know Kansas is further south than I am, but I didn't realize it was THAT far south. Though, we had temps almost as warm today, but it was around freezing earlier this week, with overnight frosts several nights of the past two weeks. That seems to be typical for this area to get a lot of bouncing of temperatures in fall and spring. We're right on the border of jet streams, so can quickly switch between the arctic chills and the tropical heat it seems.
