How do I get Wasps out of my fountain?
Comments (2)I suspect if it's the only supply of water available to them within a reasonable commuting distance from their nest, you're probably not going to be able to stop them from coming to visit the water fountain to drink. I'm guessing your water fountain uses some kind of electric pump to circulate the water so I'd be careful and not put any spray or chemicals in it that would corrode or otherwise cause damage to the pump. To help get rid of the wasp in your immediate area, you might Google 'wasp bate trap'. I seem to recall one that uses a plastic pop bottle and bananas as the bait that supposed to work pretty well (I've never tried this myself)....See MoreDE in the pool - how do I get it out?
Comments (2)quote" Should I have had the pump running before I added it? "quote Yes quote" why would the DE have come up through the main drains when I was adding it? "quote Your builder probably tied the main drain into the front port of the skimmer. quote" how to get the DE out of the pool "quote Place your manual vacuum hose into the vac head and put the other end into the skimmer. Place your multi-port or slide valve into the filter position and vacuum the pool. Also you might not have gotten one of the manifolds on correctly or you might have broken the tip of a grid that slips into the manifold. See ya, Kelly...See MoreWhat do I do?!

Comments (6)That's so funny! Well you could incubate it artificially. There are small 2-3 egg incubators online for not much money. It's probably fertile if there are more ducks next door. Or you could have a duck egg for breakfast!! I have a feeling you are going to have to figure out how to discourage these ducks from spreading into your yard. Good luck!

Comments (45)Down here by the cities, it seems very localized the damage (frost pockets). What I have seen damage too is Smoketree, Red Oak, American linden, Korean/Japanese maples and their hybrids. Thats all that's obvious at moment. I think those coldest spots got 26-28 degrees Saturday morning and 28-30 degrees this morning. Shrub perennial damage seems more widespread in those same spots. The first couple of feet above the ground must have gotten quite cold. There are shrubs toasted around the base but fine on top....See Moremichelle_phxaz
