However, there are three (so far) just off the road upon which I am not planning on standing upon and firing away so … time for a “wasp light”. As described in Weingart it is a gerb tied to a stick (I used ½” EMT). He suggests 9 pts. potassium nitrate, 1 ½ sulphur and 5 charcoal. Kentish suggests “an arsenial suffocating fire” composition of -- 14 pts. potassium nitrate, 5 sulphur, 3 mealpowder and 1 realgar. Burning the suckers works for me.

little loose material on top. Tapped on a short piece of visco for convince. It burns at a reasonable slow rate with enough flame to do the job.
