smoke out

Otis blew smoke out of his nose, admiring his own muscular arms.

It was a buggy summer day, and the group of four began building a fire in a barrel to smoke out the mosquitoes.

Humans, in turn, chop open the trees where the nests are located and smoke out the furious bees.

Rain and wind will help push the smoke out beginning Sunday night, said Kirby Cook, meteorologist for the National Weather Service Seattle.

“The pattern will be turning more westerly as we go into tomorrow, so that should help push some of the smoke out of the area.”
