Title: When is the earliest?
Post by: Nock on January 15, 2020, 10:17:14 pm

You would do a cut out?  Wait for first flow? Certain temps? Drones?  Got a guy on another forum that just moved in place. During a warm day he found that there is a colony in a shed. It?s farther than I?d like to drive. Little over 2 hours but I?d like to just to get some experience. Thanks

Jim feel free to move I probably should?ve put in different section.

In NC, I say first 70 degree, sunny day in March. I would think for Kentucky the same, but with a follow up forecast of 6 days with 70 or above high daily temps.

Agree with iddee.  Around here I would say end of march.  We usually seem to get a cold spell the first part of march.
