I was working outside with my new CT-36 and newer RO-150. A wasp kept trying to chase me off, and a thought occurred. Quickly removed the sander, ramped up the vacuum setting, etc. I guess the poor wasp didn't know his Festools, GONE.  |

I've cleared out entire nests (not without about 40 stings) with shopvacs in the past. I'm sure the Festool would be more efficient at it

It's them or us man. You don't have time to consider the moral implications in a war.

A few years ago I replaced the patio doors for my neighbor on an unusually warm autumn afternoon. As my luck would have it that day was the day that the Chinese ladybugs decided to swarm. The result was that there thousands upon thousands inside the house. If you have ever smashed one of those guys you will know the mess and the smell.
I spent about an hour with my shop vac (pre CT 22) sucking them directly down off the walls and ceilings so not to leave stains.

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

Yep, I have gotten rid of hives under siding and such by setting a Shop Vac tube up outside the entrance before they all come home to roost in the evening. Just let the vac run and suck em all up when they try going into the hive. Sometimes it takes a couple evenings in a row but it works.
Those chinese lady bugs are aweful. And yeah that stink they make ..........................

but his wife was another problem Dyson would definitely be too small--I think the Teamsters Union recommends a 55 gal. drum. Regards, John |
