[Rhodes22-list] Flying intruders

[Todd Tavares]

Ben,

    Raid makes a great wasp and hornet killer.  It comes in a black can and has a strong blast to about 20 feet.  I ran into a similar problem with the nasty critters while working on my trailer a few months ago.  I do not know what effect it would have if it was to get on the gelcoat though.
