Yesterday, the wind was calm enough that I decided it would be a good dayswap out my jammed T2X with one that I'd rebuilt. So, I prepare everything and head up my HDBX48 tower (8 ft of mast above the

I am in central VA, and I see the same thing; on a warm, calm day, there will be perhaps a hundred (or more) wasps distributed along the length of the tower. They seem to be non-resident, and they ju

Here in the northeast it's wasp and yellow jacket season. I got stung on the side of my head while bicycling last weekend! This time of year I never do any tower work without carrying a can of spray

If you want to "test for hidden wasps" before climbing a tower, Take a look at Today's CNN website videos. Look for a video by Jerry Cook, in Afghanistan, that demonstrates in a very scary way how th

Spraying while climbing is one sure way of getting stung and possibly landing on your head. It is the end of the season and they are swarming to the heat radiated by the tower. They are non threateni

Kim, I have been up and down my towers the past couple weeks... At roughly 60-70 feet on all three towers I have paper wasps buzzing in my face... There is nothing on the tower(s) at that level to at

Wasps love to set up shop inside the mast, entering from the bottom, inside the clamp above the rotor. Glad they didn't get you. I am hypersensitive to wasp venom and swell up like a barrage balloon

Kim, this is very common this time of year and it will occur on all kinds of towers. I've had exactly the same thing to happen on HBX, Rohn 24, 45 and other kinds much larger. There is no nest up the

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I seems I'm not crazy -- I've just never had to be up there when the wasps were doing their thing. Unlike some other comments on here about their docile nature, th

Yikes. I don't like them flying around me. Ran into a big nest that engulfed a foot or more of tower - the WHOLE tower. It was like basketball sized. If you do get stung, Adolph's Meat Tenderizer is

I've used Adolph's Meat Tenderizer in the past and it DOES work wonders. For those interested how, the active ingredient is papain - a proteolytic enzyme (breaks down proteins such as bee venom) and

Although it sounds strange that stuff really works. At one time I was alergic to black fly bites. The alergist had me carry a little packet of Adolph's Meat Tenderizer. When the yellowjacket stung m

Even if you don't think you're allergic to stings, ask your Dr. for a prescription for epinephrine injection pens ($20). I always climb with one in my tool bucket. Tenderizer may treat the external p
