Yeah, I'd set my entire house on fire at that point. I hate nothing more in this world than wasps.

Need to poke the nest with a long stick, throw 30 bug bombs in there and shut the window.

Watch from window as they all freak out and slowly die.

Just think if he had been sneaking a lady into his old room to bang in the dark...

I had a yellow jacket nest in the ceiling of an old shed on my land. The nest was about the size of the 4'x8' sheet of plywood it was attached to.

I suited up with my ski gear along with some duct tape around the cuffs and ankles and killed everyone of those evil bastards.

I was stung 3 times by a Red Wasp about a month ago. I was out washing the cars, letting my 6 year old daughter help me since she had been begging to since the day we bought a brush to wash the wife's van with. I had finished up on the Jeep, and pulled it back into the garage. Backed out the van and got it in place by the bucket and brush. I had finished the hood and almost one complete side. Walked back around front to turn the hose back on to rinse. When I came back down and was hosing it off, I felt something sting my leg, right near my left knee. I had been stung a few weeks earlier by a bee. Felt about the same at first. I swatted at it with my free hand. Didn't feel anything else on me, and continued rinsing the van off. Then it hit me two more times. It had somehow gotten up my gym shorts. I was thankful to be wearing underwear, and boxer briefs at that. The rate it was moving up my leg it would have reached paydirt soon. In one complete motion I chunked the hose and ripped the shorts off while dancing around headed towards the garage. Looked down and saw the 3 stings, and this ugly red wasp came crawling out of my shorts, which were now on the floor of the garage. I stomped the shite out of him, and killed a few more of his friends that came around later. That was about a month ago, and there is still a small red mark where the worst sting was.

I couldn't imagine over 5,000 of those frickers in a contained space. I'd have to toss in about a dozen bug bombs, close the door, and tape off around the bottom of it so they couldn't escape.

Ha. Nope. Thankfully I was indoors at that point. But she was scared of "those mean red bugs" the rest of the day. I posted a pic of my leg on instagram that night, and my wife just had to comment on the underwear dancing to let everyone know.
