You ran out of cuss words in only half a block ?
It's ok to repeat them while running.
I hit some with my mower once years ago.
Left the blade running figuring that would get them.
Nope, they just came out from under the mower like it wasn't
even running. I headed for the house.
Inlaws had a ground nest at their place. On a real hot sunny
summer day I put a clear gallon jar upside down on the hole.
That slowed them down and I think the heat got some of them.
I left the jar for my brother inlaw to remove.
