TMI? Or not enough...

So, after having asked EVERYONE I know about wasps, we called a pest guy to come out and give his advice and an estimate this morning. Well, as we stood under the 50 foot palm, having poked at the fronds with an extension pole, looking straight up in the air we saw nothing. Not a buzz. Not a swoop. Not even one wasp. So what's up with that? Why is it that your car will stop making "that" noise when you go to the garage, and the wasps disappear, making me look like an idiot?

In fairness to the explanation, I have come to understand that wasps go to bed in the early evening, and don't reappear until late morning or afternoon when it gets a little warmer. And so thereby lies the operative word, warmer, which it is NOT. It's been freakin' COLD here, and the bad part is that I had to work in it all day yesterday. Rain too. And it had snowed the nite before. SNOWED!

So now I'm still in a quandary, do I call a tree trimmer and make sure that the appointment is early in the day, and pretend that I don't know anything about wasps?
