Thanks to GMC buddy Tom P. as well as a sympathetic Redd Pest Solutions
guy, the Barn Queen is now wasp free!
SEVERAL fatally poisoned big red wasps managed to escape from a couple of
tiny places... there's no telling how many there were inside, if for every
one that made it out there were several stuck inside. Yikes! I *knew* I
wasn't crazy, that they really existed!

In the Deep South, you can just control them. Very difficult to close off the preferred nestlings spots of these little devils. Mud daubers, a harmless wasp, loves the smell of propane tanks, so they tend to nest in the propane compartment, if the coach is stationary.
Robin has a large number of Red Wasp nests, under the hatches, inside the engine compartment, wheel wells, etc. all are dead now.

The Queens build their nests in early spring. There should not be any more
queens looking for a place to build a nest at this point in the season.
Even if there were, it would be very very difficult to get inside the coach
which may also have a lingering odor of pyrethrin and I would expect a
queen to find some other easier target. It would require an awful lot of
determination for a wasp to find their way in while it's wrapped up like
this.
I believe in my case it would make sense to purchase this item, the
Fogmaster Junior.

If I had my own wasp fogging machine, I could fog my coach. I think I've
got the tenting part down pat. :-)

Robin,
Have you ever thought about starting a wasp removal business? There are many, many people with little imagination and no sense of humor - these people would not be your customers.
There are other people who like to be entertained and appreciate the droll aspects of life. Those people would be your customer base.
You wouldn't have to do anymore advertising than add your contact info and "Semi-professional and totally terrified wasp removal, call xxx-xxxx" to your YouTube videos.
People would pay good money to laugh their asses off while you did your thing.

I'm glad to hear your saga is over, perhaps you could write a prequel, kind of let down after the trilogy.
