Yellowjackets in the door hinge hole on the cab are ugly, but worse was lying underneath and having a giant black widow fall out on my neck - I didnt see it fall, but felt its barbed feet crawling on my skin!

I used to work in a wrecking yard and dealing with winged bugs of biting stinging death was combated with pressurized water fire extinguishers loaded with soapy water.
Cheap and effective
