The question is...will they get me while I'm out there exterminating them?

Gaawwd..it hurts like heck when they sting...the pain raidiates through whole arm...
 
YOu know what is fun, spraying the nest with gasoline and lighting it. Burn baby burn !!! Burn baby Burn !!!

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!

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!

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. :idea:

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

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.

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

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... :meanie:

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. 😛

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.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one thats heard this. :laugh: I was beginning to think it was some crazy local tradition or something. :laugh:
 
I find the subject matter of this thread disturbing. :scared: 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.
 
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

You're such a "female genital" or "baby feline." :meanie:
 
Try buying a Bee-eater and it'll do the work for you, or you can just find a wide flat shovel and wack them. The only nests I destroyed myself were with a lighter, a can of hair spray, and a fast pair of legs.
