Wasp sting
Started by ZpackSux
YOu know what is fun, spraying the nest with gasoline and lighting it. Burn baby burn !!! Burn baby Burn !!!
The question is...will they get me while I'm out there exterminating them?
This is why the wasp spray has a 20ft nozzle. 😉 Besides, if you stand there and let them sting you, you should get a Darwin award. Sheesh! Run Forrest run!
Gaawwd..it hurts like heck when they sting...the pain raidiates through whole arm...
Oh suck it up. 😛

Tough guy... let them sting you... and see.
This happened to me a while back. I wouldn't say it hurt that much 😎
They sure freak out when you spray their nest though!
hmmmm... yellow jackets in your area must not be as potent as ours... We're Texas...everything is bigger and grander..

ehhh.. you don't work at Mon General..do you?
Right on...The Big 12 sucks especially when your marquee program loses in a BCS bowl game to the likes of BOISE STATE!Except football.
ehhh.. you don't work at Mon General..do you?
No....but I live less than a mile away. My neighbor is a lawyer and chases the ambulances coming from car crashes he heard about on his police band radio.

Your lawyer neighbor lives in a trailer house too?

I know this probably sounds really stupid, but a friend of mine swears by waiting until it's dark to spray the hive! Supposedly they're less active and so there is less risk of being stung.

I'll take my chances during daylight where I can see the incoming!

He's like the living, breathing Lionel Hutz. And, no he doesn't. Behind my $13,000 trailer is a nice $300,000 house with a similar one next to it. I'll take a picture. It's actually quite comical.
Oh well...the wasps get another day to live.. I didn't get to the nest today.. but they should be afraid.. really really afraid..
You going to smack them with your Texas sized purse?

That is unbelievable..... your trailer only costs $13,000?

woo...nice thought!

Yup. 1989 Fleetwood, great condition, old enough that all of the kinks are already worked out. 70'X14'. You can actually get them for cheaper. $200 lot rent per month, water included. Plus a swimming pool and a basketball court that I own the community yokels on. And a free bus to the PRT. That's why I can afford a 50" plasma. Shop at Aldi, Big Lots, and Steve & Barry's and that $15000/semester tuition refund goes a long way with lots of Dave & Busters card recharges.....
Added snippet: My house is registered with the DMV as a motor vehicle. Ha. It's exempt from being inspected annually, though.
hey zpak, pharmagirl is right....spray in the dark, they are "asleep" then. we've done this a bunch of times and not gotten stung.
and get one of those spray things with the huge nozzle!
That seems unfair and cowardish to spray onto unsuspecting and sleeping wasps...
You want to get them while they are in their nest, so that they will die instead of just making a new nest. It's the wasps that are bad, not the nest. 😛That seems unfair and cowardish to spray onto unsuspecting and sleeping wasps...![]()
You want a long range spray or a rig so they don't come after you when you hit their nest. It's safest to rig it to something, turn it on, and get the hell away. For example, you can plant a shovel in the ground, tape the can of spray to the shovel handle while pointed at the nest, then turn on the spray and run.

I will not run...I'll fight till death.. their death.

They won't have a chance to swarm...
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one thats heard this.hey zpak, pharmagirl is right....spray in the dark, they are "asleep" then. we've done this a bunch of times and not gotten stung.

I was beginning to think it was some crazy local tradition or something. 
I find the subject matter of this thread disturbing.
Being as afraid of stinging insects as I am... I'd move out if I were you.
Seriously, the presence of a wasp (or bee or hornet) brings me to a state of hyper-karate-vigilance. I've missed whole picnics because of one bug. I can't kill it and I can't abide it. My friends just go, "Oh, Troy's just protecting us from that wasp." Actually, I'm protecting myself.

I'm glad these are wasps you are at war with and not fire ants!I will not run...I'll fight till death.. their death.
Just don't do what these guys did. (WARNING: Naughty language)
Edit: After looking at pion's link, all I have to ask is, how can a sting be described as "almost fruity" or "Hot & smoky?" :O

the "almost fruity" is in reference to how they taste.

Fire ants are easy to kill. Ortho Orthine.

LOL... so did they actually do an experiement which hurts the most?
"Ok..so how much does this hurt....?"
So looks like I got stung by a paper wasp. Pain scale of 3 out 4..much worse than fire ants or honey bee.

You're such a "female genital" or "baby feline."
