Caution. If using the raquet for killing keep an ice pack in the freezer for the worn out shoulder. I got 68 one day at the house and my arm felt like it was about to fall off.

I used a can of brake cleaner and a blow torch. I will say this, those cheap "Come and take it" 3x5 flags from Amazon go up in flames real quick.

If you find one in a hole, shoot the brake cleaner in the hole. Kills them in just a second or two. They will buzz like a run away engine then silence.

I used some compressed air to get one the other day. It froze the bug into a black Popsicle.

If I find one inside a board, I use a 13 inch or so piece of string trimmer string. Bend one end to about a 45*angle with some pliers. Put the other end in a cordless drill and tighten it up. Insert bent end of string in hole and pull the trigger. You’ll hear it when the string makes contact.

Do any of those traps work? Im sick of nursing my arm and shoulder from the racket ball racket.

Yes they work. Knock a couple down and put em in the trap, their buddies will follow.

There is a $5 per it for wood. Considered baiting here in Alabama

Drill a 1/2 in hole seems to work best.
