Sounds exactly what we need.

Ouch! Yes, we're continuing to work gingerly and with full body protection on when around that plant. We cut out two rotted pieces of something growing up the middle of it, and I suspect either one could have been their nest.
The Dawn-and-water homemade traps were a complete bust. I think the Dawn spray was equally ineffective, though perhaps I took a few out or at least deterred them last weekend before I worked there. If we go at again we're waiting until it's cold. At least the long clothing and veil won't be so uncomfortable.
