My heat gun stinks

Geo-TH,In · Nov 11, 2016

Keep heat gun in pole barn. It stunk up the place because heat gun was full of stink bugs.

Need to store it in an air tight container.

I've never had this happen, have you?

In my area of the country it probably would be full of wasps or hornets instead of stink bugs. they build nests everywhere

Anything has to smell better than toasted stink bugs.

couple weeks ago I couldn't plug an extension cord into all three receptacles on one wall of my garage, dammed mud dabbers filled in all the ground holes.

I tried to use my drill press several days ago. Hadn't been run in awhile. Dirt dobbers have been using my shop for "Union Station" this summer. Anyhew......flipped the switch and no movement. Finally got the dirt out and got it spinning. Hope I didn't melt any winding insulation.
Other problem with them in in air conditioners. They build their nests on the blades. Talk about vibration.....started wrapping the seldom used ones with screed door wire to keep them out.

I've quit covering things up tightly, with tarps and holding down the edges. I get lots of mice and rats nesting inside. I also have taken to plugging small holes up, with pipe cleaners or nylon ties folded in half, something to keep out critters.
