Cob: Wasp Holes.

[Patricia L. MacKenzie]

Now that you mention it about those paper wasps or hornets or bees or 
whatever, I recall seeing little ones that bored through T-111 siding or 
whatever its called (solid wood) and made a home. If I remember what I did, 
I'll pass it on 'cause I got rid of them without pesticides.
