Q: Nests are often under decks, eaves and in trees. Although tree nests are usually abandoned after one year, house nests may house an overwintering queen and host the nest next year. There is some risk in destroying a hornet's nest, so it's best done with protective garments. Call a professional if the hornets have access to the inside of your house. If they have made their nest in window cracks, foundation cracks, floorboards or any other house areas, you should not apply wasp killer. Unless you have a protective hood and suit, this is the best way to avoid being stung. Hornets and wasps return to the nest at nightfall and they are less active. This means you have a better chance of killing the majority of the nest. Get away from the area for the next few hours and encourage family members and pests to do the same. Hornets can sense when their nest is in danger, so it's best to do this when there is very little noticeable activity. If you don't see any activity, you may have killed the wasps. As soon as it looks abandoned, you should try to scrape it from the house, submerge it in water and throw it away. If there is still activity, spray it again. Use thick leather gloves and clothes when handling a nest or spraying a hornet's nest. It will give you some protection against stings. Make sure the bowl seals airtight to the ground. Look for other entrances and repeat with another bowl. Set the bowl there for at least two weeks to ensure the colony starves before you lift it off. Place the trap away from human contact and hang it two to four feet above the ground. Leave the trap in the area for at least two days. Make a trap by cutting the top off a two-liter bottle. Attach some string or wire to the sides so that it can hang from a tree. Drop the top inside the bottle, where it should catch on the sides. Pour a sweet substance, such as juice or sugar water through the funnel. Hang it in your tree. Wasps will enter and be unable to exit. Empty and clean the trap every three weeks at nighttime. Make sure there are no active wasps in the trap at that time.
A: Follow a wasp to see if it has made a nest near your house. Consider calling an exterminator if you have a lot of nests or they are in hard-to-reach places. Choose an aerosol hornet spray that allows you to get as far away as possible while you apply it. Wait until nightfall. Read the directions carefully and then spray. Watch the nest for signs of activity. Cover ground nests with a large bowl. Create or buy a wasp trap to catch hornets that didn't die when you sprayed the nest.

Q: Talking about boundaries can be a touchy subject. Make the conversation a little easier by talking with the other person at a time when you're both emotionally stable. Avoid introducing the topic of boundaries during or right after a fight. If the other person feels defensive or angry, the conversation won't be productive. Introduce the topic by saying something like, "Are you free for a minute? There's something I've been wanting to talk with you about." Be upfront when you tell your loved one about your new boundaries. Be kind, but don't apologize or back down. Explain exactly what you need from the other person without any ambiguity. Use a calm, non-confrontational tone to lessen the risk of the other person taking offense. For your loved one, hearing about the new limits you're imposing on the relationship might sting. However, it's important that they understand why you're doing it. Be gentle but honest about your reasons. Phrase your explanation in a non-accusatory way that focuses on your needs instead of what the other person is doing wrong. For instance, if you find your spouse's mood swings exhausting to deal with, you could say, "It's really wearing me out trying to guess how you'll be feeling from one day to the next. I need you to communicate your feelings to me more regularly." Someone with BPD may feel insulted when others set boundaries with them. Make sure to give your loved one plenty of reassurance that you're not rejecting them as a person and that your relationship with them is still important to you. Emphasize the ways your boundary will benefit both of you. This will help your loved one understand that you're not setting limits just to try to push them away. For instance, you could tell a friend, "I think spending more time on our own will be good for both of us in the long run. I have more energy for socializing when I spend enough time alone, so we'll both have more fun when we do get together." Your loved one may try to make you feel bad for setting boundaries. Don't let them sway you with emotional manipulation. You have the right to protect your own well-being.
A: Choose a time when you and your loved one are calm. State your boundaries clearly and firmly. Explain why you are setting these boundaries. Reassure your loved one that you value them. Avoid letting the other person make you feel guilty.

Q: Organizing an overseas move is a challenge. It is important to realize that just like yourself, your pet requires a lot of organization before moving. You cannot just decide on the spur of the moment to move your pet. Typically, moving a pet overseas requires months of planning. Depending on which country you move to, there may be a certain time frame for vaccinations. For example, sometimes your pet may need his vaccinations 3-6 months before arriving in the new country. Once you have researched the requirements, meet with your vet to discuss a potential timeline. When you are deciding whether or not to move your pet, take into account that he may not be able to move with you as soon as you are ready. Airlines have different policies regarding pet travel. Start contacting airlines to ask about the specific qualifications for traveling with your type of pet. For example, some airlines may allow your cat to be stowed under your seat in a carrier. Others will require him to travel in the cargo area. Ask the airline whether they practice pet-safety policies. These policies include always keeping animals in a climate controlled area, making sure that pets are the first ones off the plane and the last ones on, and a promise to never leave animals sitting on the tarmac. If you decide to travel with your pet, purchase the travel crate well in advance. Give your pet a chance to get used to being in the carrier. When you have decided to move, you need to investigate your new home from your pet's perspective. Research local vets and contact one of them to ask about his practice. Also, consider what type of home you will have. Does it have enough room for your pet to be comfortable? If you have a dog, consider whether your new home is dog friendly. Will you have a yard? Or is there a dog park nearby where your dog can play? Ask your current vet to help you find a new vet.
