Best and only method that works for me is the yelllow Jacket traps, that use queen pheromones, to attract the workers and soldiers. They smell a foreign queen, and fly straight there. Where we hunt, youcan’t finish a sandwhich, due to being swarmed, so we put there of these traps, way outside the camp, when we arrive. Have to dump them out two or three times in the first week, but the population decreases over the month we stay there, until it i very rare to see any. Put it in the farthest corner of your yard.
The other method my buddy used, until I showed him the traps, was a piece of pork on a stick, across the top of a 5 gallon bucket, with a bottle or two of cheap-as beer poured into the bottom. They eat until they can’t fly, and fall into the bucket. Worked about half as slow as the traps. WEAR DISPOSABLE GLOVES WHEN OPENING THE SCENT, DON’T WIPE IT ON YOUR PANTS, AND WASH YOUR HANDS.

Yup… Sold off a lot of my physical gold bullion back in 2011 to buy my dream car when I was stationed in Germany, but have been slowly rebuilding our stores by adding to our actual physical gold and silver over the past several years; typically one ounce coins.
That said, now that I’m twice-retired I’m finally at the point where I need to start thinking about divesting the “paper gold” assets and using the proceeds to pay off our house and/or buy more physical gold or other real assets.
I can theoretically withdraw the equity from my Sprott account as actual physical gold once I have enough in there to = one standard trade bar; or 400 ounces (25#) of gold. I’m getting there, but nowhere near that level
. Or rather, I should say I was getting there. Now that I’m on a semi-fixed income, the chances of me getting the rest of the way to $1M+ (actually $1,342,000 as of today) just in my gold account is…well, highly unlikely.Just happy I started down this path
Or maybe this is the right approach, and I need to just roll with it…maybe even go farther down this path.
Will ponder this a bit…

That is better than being in the toilet and the electrician shorts out the plant and you discover that management was too cheap to put emergency lights in there.
Sparky shorted 440 and blew himself across the production floor. I’m amazed that he survived.
