We had a nest underneath the main step going into the house so obviously it's not a good place to take care of them like I used to when I found their nests in the ground (pour in gasoline and light a match). So, Grant sucked them up with the Shop Vac! He's counted coup on 117 of them, and who knows, we still have the weekend to pick up stragglers!
