Hi Paul & All, May 23, 2009
Yellow jackets become more numerous with time and take exception to =
having their nest disturbed or broken [and a swarm of 50 is more =
impressive than a swarm of 5] but are placid early or late if not =
disturbed or frightened.=20
It has been my experience that in late summer/early fall they are =
likely to try to help eat your fried chicken, jelly, apple... and in =
general just join the picnic as opposed to being inclined to sting.
Freshly applied Deep Woods is effective if one has to work near a =
disturbed nest. Several times I have loaded wood in an angry cloud and =
not been stung.=20
Chewing tobacco is effective, even for Black Wasp stings, if applied =
as a gob within seconds of the sting. When mowing points of the =
Cornwallis River with a hand scythe, where one could count on being =
stung every hour or so, I always tried to keep close to a chewer.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Garter Snake
Hello,
Come to think of it, I don't think that I have ever seen a black racer =
in the province, although I have seen them in Massachusetts and New =
Jersey. They are aptly named, for they are extremely fast, and =
difficult to catch.
As for yellow jackets, they become especially aggressive as fall =
approaches. A few years ago I was mowing, and came too near one of =
their underground nests. Several attacked me, and drove me into the =
house. I waited inside for about half an hour, and when I decided to =
get back to work, they were still waiting for me at the door! I had to =
use a different exit to go back outside.
If stung, the best remedy I have found is to apply moistened baking =
soda to site of the sting. That also helps greatly with the stings of =
the hornets who build those large, paper nests. I once had a dog who =
was stung by them several times on the nose, and the baking soda trick =
worked well for him, too. He seemed very appreciative for the relief.

Hello Paul -
What about the small black snakes with a ring around the =
neck? I understand they are asps and not snakes, but what is the =
difference? I have found two or three dead ones in my driveway, and I =

I don't think I would trust any black snakes. I have seen a =

mostly brown or green garter snakes.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Garter Snake
I believe that there are no venomous snakes in Nova Scotia. =
However, even garter snakes can bite, and their tiny, little teeth can =
even draw blood. (I have had that happen to me.) Although cold-blooded =
animals do not carry rabies, the oral hygiene of a garter snake may be =
such that its bite could transmit lots of interesting bacteria, so I =
would handle the snake with gloves.
Garter snakes have longitudinal striping, and are not really =
brown (unless they have not shed the skin for a long time).
Isn't it possible that the snake got into the house in some =
other room, and then slithered into the bathroom by chance? It might =
have been hiding somewhere else in the house, and was merely looking for =
water. In any case, it really belongs outdoors.
A foot long is small for a snake. I don't think that there is =
any rational reason for fear of any snake in the province, although =
their movement can startle people. The most dangerous animals around =
are probably stinging insects such as yellow jackets (who are especially =
aggressive in the fall), and bears (if you ever find any).
