I don't think that that's what they mean by money laundering.

Found a bunch of these going up behind the soffet today.
It sounds as though they are munching on wood The usual pesticides for wasps, flying insects, ants don't seem to be touching them. I think they are small bumble bees (Bombus ?), and if so the only recommendations I have found say to leave them till they die in the Fall or Winter. Anyone have any other ideas ? |

They look like Carpenter Bees.

Carpenter bees have a shiney black tail when you see them out in the light. They tend to bore these remarkably precise holes... Somebody else here had them recently. You may have some soggy wood up there.

I'm sitting here at the PA drivers license center waiting to get my photo taken for my new drivers license. 16 minutes ago they were on A106. Now they are on A112. My number is A124. The guy behind the counter is an abbrasive jackass. I had no issue with him, but he's being as rude as he possibly can to everyone that approaches him. I just realized that the PO box we used to have is still listed on my card, but I'm afraid to change it for fear that I will lose my place in line.

I asked him when he had a free moment and it would cost me an extra $5 and a longer wait. Dude was literally quivering. I guess he is under a lot of stress doing this job. I feel bad for calling him a jackass now. Sorry dude.

Put yourself in the driver's license guy's shoes man. He has to deal with the general public, who have been systematically annoyed and made to wait, and he's the last guy they see in the process, and he tells them whether or not they can drive.

We had them, you could see sawdust on the plants underneath. They were in the neighbours too, they have 'a guy' who came round and dug them out with a scraper, then sprayed insecticide, all gone.

Add to that the fact that some imbecile put green peppers in the salad his doctor has mandated for lunch and I'd start watching for gasoline soaked, ammonium nitrate laden trailers...
