I've declared WAR on carpenter bees . . .

[enfield]

Why would I use a tennis racket, or a wiffle bat or anything else when I have a Smith & Wesson?

I don't want to kill them with a dollar wiffle bat -- I want to kill them with a $500 Smith. It's more elegant that way.

Mark that down, next rifle purchase will be a.177. I dont think the neighbors will appreciate the 870 wingmaster going off every afternoon after work.

Gamo has those air rifle/shotgun combos. I wonder how the air propelled shot would do on those bees? I think some of those nicer air guns sound pretty cool but can't get past the fact that I could pick up another .22 rifle for less than one of those air rifles costs.

Got one today! It took two rounds of grits and a size 11 Sperry Topsider to finish him off.

PS - I didn't use a Smith - used my 40 year old Taurus clone of a S&W Model 10. He's just as dead, but I didn't get $500 worth of satisfaction.

Yeah, I use one of these too- when you hit them, they POP real loud when the current goes through 'em...

Very satisfying.

Don't swat your wife on the a$$, though. You may die soon after.

Got one yesterday from about a 6 inch range. He was hovering near the railing and I got behind him. DRT.

I need to load more rounds -- I made a dozen to start with and I'm down to one now. I think I'll try walnut tumbling media instead of grits the next time - try to get a little more weight/energy in the charge.

I found these at the local Harbor Freight outlet for $2.99, not the $21.95+s&h here. It's fun to use, but no better than a tennis racket or a 2x4. The battery power does put out a pretty stong tingle for a short time, so don't pat the wife or girlfriend on the butt with it;...or maybe do.

Been killing 2 or 3 a day. More show up. Do they have hives or nests in the wood. Them suckers just won't go away.

You guys are too much sounds like a new past time . Yall might be on to something marketable though. I can see it now "Bee shot" you might even hire some mall ninjas to be spokesman for the product .

Have had and loved the electric tennis racket my lil brother liked it so much I gave it to him . Need to get me another.
