[Rhodes22-list] Elle said Wasps find her yummie!

[Tootle]

Elle:

Paper wasp are common in these parts.  Get those yellow things that kill
insects and can be hung up.  They often last the whole season.  If you spend
the night on the boat, put them elsewhere while doing so.  You might also
need a second one for the laz.

My marina lady owner said it did not do her any good if I used those things
because the wasps only went to another boat:-)

I usually hang one in the pottie area, and it covers the whole cabin...
