They are entering at ground level. Any experienced opinions on where I should have aimed the can? I only had one :-) Emptied 3/4 of it into the gap in the wall but not a single angry wasp came out so I'm not convinced I hit anything. Morning will tell. <br>
<br>
Should I expect they're in the ground, or would they have built a nest amongst the rocks? I've never seen that.<br>
<br>
(fire, nukes, pros, all not viable options at the moment)<br>
<br>
If the can didn't work, any ideas on what to try next?<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
