Sevin powder applicator ideas
Stormin Mormon
remember that I was looking for spray, last fall, for the wasps which
burrow into the sides of my church building.
Several different type of wasp spray aparently had no effect.
Including carb cleaner spray.
Sevin powder seemed to work last year. The question is how to puff the
powder into the little wasp entrance hole. Without the repair guy
getting to breathe the powder. So, how does one apply powdered bug
dust?

Go to the baby product aisle of the supermarket or drug store and get one of
those bulb things used for getting snot out of babies' noses. And you *will*
go to whatever home/hardware store and get a serious filter mask, unless
you're stupid.

I have to ask the obvious question: if you're having such a hard time
applying the Sevin in dust form, why aren't you using the liquid form
of Sevin in its place? It's safer for the applicator - inhaling
pesticide dust is no joke.
If you *must* use the dust form of Sevin, then for pity's sake break
down and buy a proper duster. Here's an online source for several
models. A good local farm/garden supply store should also be able to
help you.

into the edge of the building, under the lower edge of the siding,
near the roof line. Hard to describe. I'm not sure if liquids would do
any good. Maybe?
I havn't yet tried to apply the powder. I don't know, yet, if it's
hard to apply. Or not. Simply havn't tried, yet.

They sell sevin also in a lawn spray version that attaches to a garden
hose , like the lawn fertiliser bottles. I used it on japaese Bettles
on a Willow tree and it kept the bettles off for months, I think I
also did one in ground nest wth it and it worked. Ive done to many
nests to count with the powder, maybe 20, but the liqued bottle on a
hose is worth a try or mixing the powder on a garden sprayer, I
believe it leaves a film that is active for a long time.

Until the Spirit says otherwise, I'm going to keep sharing what I know
to be true. You keep sharing what your family tradition is.

HPC makes a nice little rubber graphite gun to puff powder.
In the alternative perhaps blending the powder with some cream cheese and
use a pastry bag to squeeze the stuff into the cracks

(now my reply)
The Sevin my local Farm Bureau sells comes in a plastic squeezable
bottle, with a skinny tube you snap into the opening. You shake it up to
unclump it, stick the tube in the hole, and squeeze hard. Shoots out a
nice big puff of powder. Usual caveats about long-sleeve shirts tucked
and taped as needed, and goggles and a mask, apply. Best to hit the hole
after dark, to catch as many as possible at home.

An interesting idea? Are you out of your mind? It's mandatory, you twit.
Also: On this planet, smart people do not top-post. "Like a book" is the
correct way.

Try it first with something safe, like some baby powder, you twit.

Gut feelings (even after praying) aren't a substitute for truth.
I've heard Mormons say that if the Catholic Church didn't apostasize
from the true faith, they'd have no reason not to be Catholic.
So here's my challenge. Pick a date for this great apostasty. Write
it down. Next, read the Church Fathers before that date and decide
for yourself if they sound like Mormons or Catholics.
Deal?

The oddest myth I've ever heard of is that the universe exists for no
reason.

Unfortunately, all of Kreeft's 20 arguments contain elementary logical
fallacies, mostly _petitio principii_ or "begging the question". The only one
that I found even remotely compelling -- and I'm a practicing Catholic, I
*agree* with him -- was #17: "There is the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Therefore there must be a God. You either see this one or you don't. "

paste and inject it like caulk. That could work, the entrance holes
are small enough. Worth some thought.

Stop top posting, you knucklehead. You cannot justify it except to say that
you're bored with life and you think top posting is exciting. Get a
different hobby.
