I had a similar experience, only it was grasshoppers. Huge, 1 1/2 - 2 inch long, grasshoppers. For people who aren't too familiar with them, they make lots and lots of guts when you squish them.

One summer while I was working at our baseball stadium we had an infestation. I am not sure why, but the entire area was covered with them. I think it had rained or something and they were looking for shelter and they say the bright lights on at the stadium and swarmed it. I could not walk without crushing many of them, and even when I managed to miss them there were already crushed bodies ready to squish under my shoes. The only good thing about it was I was wearing athletic shoes and so they didn't touch my feet... but it was so disgusting to feel the nastiness under my shoes!!! *shudders*

Bleah! They make bugs big where I come from- once I opened my knapsack at work and a huge beetle about the length of my index finger crawled out and over my hand.

I saw that. It's freaky. I'd be so scared to have a yellow jacket nest that size near my house.

I remember reading about an ingenious trap you can make to kill yellow jackets involving a hunk of raw fish and a pan of soapy (but not sudsy) water. You'd need a swimming pool to kill a nest that size.

I just addressed my yellowjacket problem. I paid $225 for guys to squirt powder poison into my walls.

When I put my ear up to the wall, I could hear the whole nest buzzing. It was very scary.

It took two shots at it to kill them.



They had to go, because they wanted in.

I tried killing them myself with a cheap wasp killer spray and only got stung as a result.

I'm not removing this light switch cover until I have replacement vacuum cleaner bags.

Not wanting to distract attention from your sincerely creepy infestation UT but...

He investigated a nest near Pineapple, measuring about 5 feet by 4 feet, that was coming out of the ground on a roadside. A southwest Pike County house in Goshen had a giant nest spreading into its roof.
... there's a town called Pineapple!

I may die happy now. Or I may join internet dating sites for that area, hoping to become a British mail-order bride just for the thrill of living in (a) Pineapple.

"We're not really sure how this multiple queen thing works," Ray said. "It could be that the daughters of the original queen don't leave the nest or that the queens have developed some way to cooperate."
That sounds like the plot of a sci-fi movie.

As I bit into the nectarine, it had a crisp juiciness about it that was very pleasurable - until I realized it wasn't a nectarine at all, but A HUMAN HEAD!!
