Have already gone through like half a dozen cans of spray.

While I enjoy watching those frickers die in agony its annoying finding so many of them invading my domicile.

I went on a wasp rampage last weekend. I fricking love killing those bastards. I get a weird thrill from getting goosebumps as I close in on a nest that's covered with them, spraying, and watching them fall to the ground. Then spraying again. Then stomping just for good measure.

Then it's on to the next nest. frick those frickers.

Trump being in office has given them a feeling of entitlement.

I've always found them to be ornery, I haven't noticed a change.

I don't have many fears, but wasps scare the shite out of me. I'm the guy running for dear life if one approaches me.

All bugs and pollen are worse in Nashville because we had such a pansy arse winter.

Was it a weaker than normal winter where you live?

They said the warm weather would create more wasps.

Yes they are very active this time of year establishing their nests. But they are generally not aggressive until their nests are built and you disturb it. What a bunch of scaredy-cats.

not really. but i dont want to get stung. I love going to war! and people when you see a wasp, dont spray it right then. wait until you are about to go to bed, or early in the morning before the sun rises. you will kill more, maybe the whole colony. They come back and "sleep" at night when it gets cool.

They also just about refuse to fly when it's dark


You can also kill them with dish soap and water


Mix a cup and toss it on them if you're feeling lucky and they are within reach

I haven't had nearly as many wasps and carpenter bees as I did last year in Collierville. I was expecting to be putting out a shitload of carpenter bee traps this year and loaded up on wasp spray as well, but I've only got one trap out and have only gone through one can of spray

if you have brick i noticed the climb up in the gaps between the brick and wood and get to your attic. I ended up taking a calk gun and sealing up the whole perimeter.
