    I have used that stuff. Problem is, it doesn't get underground where the nest is. That's why I went the permethrin/ triazicide route.

    I've been spraying the tree trunks with Permethrin. Seems to keep them from building in the nooks of the trees. Also kills off the ants they eat.

    It might have been CM binders. That is what I have. USA made and been happy thus far! https://www.uscargocontrol.com/collections/made-in-usa-transport-chain-and-binders

    We had carpenters last year. The little wood traps got what the permethrin didn't. We spryed the fence and railings with it twice. Seen very few this year. Maybe the hornets are eating them 🤪

    We have too. So far I have killed off 3 nests this year. Soaked with permethrin and topped the area off with Triazicide. They didn't come back there. Worst one was next to the porch. Those bastards are vicious and relentless

    These guys don't really bother people. More of a nuisance than anything. They are carnivores and help control mosquitoes and ants. Scary looking as can be. They are big!

    I've seen them before. Know what they wre and their general habits. This fall....I've got a metric S ton of them! When the front or rear house flood lights are on, there must be hundreds of them. I've looked in trees, around the exterior of the house and shop.no sign of a nest. Have any of you...

    Another, I don't get out much thread.

    We're they stranded lobsters in a tidal pool?

    There is more to this story than you are telling. 1) It is illegal for the "entire" warranty to be voided. The manufacturer rep (dealer) must provide evidence that the act or modification was the direct cause of the failure. Even then, only the warranty on that part is denied. They know this...

    "Burnishing" your new brakes. WTF......... Now I've heard it all. (I'm raising the Bullsh!t flag)

    I have raced for many many years ans was supported for most of them by a leading brake company. There is absolutely transfer of the friction material (pad or shoe) to the metal used in the rotor/ drum. This is what changed the kinetic energy (rotation) to heat energy (friction). That is what...

    That is horrible advice in the video. He has probably ruined brakes on people's trailers. Under no circumstances should new brakes get that hot. Never. I can pull up a half dozen brake manufacturers that specifically say "gentle" brake application and "do not panic stop" on new pads.

    Just remember- Ford doesn't deny warranty work. The dealer tells Ford it shouldn't get covered If you have a solid dealer shop, they'll work with you. Don't get silly with 150 hp tunes and warranty work won't be an issue. My 2015 had several problems all taken care of no questions asked. When...

    If you are going to keep it a while and keep it "intact" then at least reroute the CCV line. Then you won't have soot AND oil throughout your intake.

    That's why I don't shut the engine off when fueling up.
