Re: [WISPA] OT: Wasps
Ray, The most likely cause is the wasps are swarming for their Fall mating season. NASA had the same problem with wasps on the launch towers. The issue is every late August to December the males wasps seek (and fight) for the highest point in their local vicinity. The male wasps are focused on getting their pheremones out to the farthest point to attract nearby female wasps. According to an entomologist hired by NASA it appears the males wasps are mistaking any nearby tower for a tall tree or snag. And yes they are docile since they are focused on finding a female not a tower climber :) I can send the article to you hit me off list if needed.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Wasps
On my main tower, the big problem this time of year is starlings, by the Alfred Hitchcock movie full! They fill their beeks full of pine nuts, then park on my tower and . . . Well, you get the idea. I'm shoveling pine nuts off my roof. Luckily they only hang around here for a couple months.

I dont mean a few of them hanging out having a smoke and sharpening their stingers. I mean the big swarms of hundreds. We were at 4 different locations yesterday. All of them were unclimbable due to swarms of wasps. No nests on the structures either. They are attracted to the RF for some reason. As for climbing, they are generally docile (at least around here). We usually see them around this time of year (or a bit later) as it starts to cool off. I suspect that the RF warms them. Either way, the ones around here usually are around 50-150'. It is spooky climbing through them, but so long as you don't set your hand on one, they are pretty calm. I was on a water tower a few years ago that had HUNDREDS of wasps floating around the top. Unfortunately, I was around the top, too. I spent 4 hours "in the swarm" with no stings. -- Butch Evans Network Engineering and Security Consulting 573-276-2879 http://www.butchevans.com/ My calendar: http://tinyurl.com/y24ad6 Training Partners: http://tinyurl.com/smfkf Mikrotik Certified Consultant http://www.mikrotik.com/consultants.html ** Join us at the WISPA Reception at 6:30 PM on October the 16th 2007 at ISPCON ** ** ISPCON Fall 2007 - October 16-18 - San Jose, CA www.ispcon.com ** ** THE INTERNET INDUSTRY EVENT ** ** FREE Exhibits and Events Pass available until August 31 ** ** Use Customer Code WSEMF7 when you register online at http://www.ispcon.com/register.php ** WISPA Wants You!

RE: [WISPA] OT: Wasps
You gotta be really careful climbing. They like to build vertical nests in the big poles that hold up the cellular arrays... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 5:48 AM To: wireless@wispa.org Subject: [WISPA] OT: Wasps Does anyone know what causes the swarming behavior in wasps around towers. I dont mean a few of them hanging out having a smoke and sharpening their stingers. I mean the big swarms of hundreds. We were at 4 different locations yesterday. All of them were unclimbable due to swarms of wasps. No nests on the structures either.
