words of wisdom

I sent an email home this week, and one of the things I mentioned was that some wasps are taking up residence on my balcony. And I asked if they had any advice.
This is what I received in answer from my mom:
Wasps. You can take the gentle way or the harsh way. Gentle way: spray peppermint ess. oil on the nest and around the area. Harsh way: buy a can of hot shot wasp spray and kill them instantly from twenty feet away.
I laughed *so* hard. This is like the epitome of Mom advice, presented in a tidy and graceful package. Thanks, Mom!
[Note: more updates to come on the great de-waspinating of 2015!]
