I know they’re out and about this time of year, but they are all over the place around my house lately. I can’t seem to find a nest either. One of the bastards came out of nowhere and stung me in the face this afternoon while sitting on my back patio.

White Anglo-Saxon Protestants?

Definitely. They got em running every which way but loose.


Oh, and choot em. The insects, not the whites. When they hit the ground, choot em again.

I actually had the complete opposite issue. I had some red wasps under my porch far enough away from my door I let them live because I enjoyed watching them. They built three nests inside of two weeks because something kept eating/destroying them, they finally gave up and moved on I guess. I got torched on the H&G board for asking what the hell was eating my red wasp nests lol. Now yellow jackets, those frickers die

Just pay the pros to spray for everything every quarter and quit worrying.

It’s not that expensive and worth every penny.

Red wasps are particularly bad this year. I’ve been stung three times already. The black paper wasps seem outnumbered this year. Let mud daubers be. They seldom sting and keep spiders in check.

Wasps are such assholes....they will just dive bomb you and post up on your drink while you are trying to chill outside. And if you kill one, it's army of buddies will kamikaze your arse. They simply don't give a frick.

That’s what I buy cause it’s cheap, but you better be a fast runner. They got about 15 seconds of life left.

The stuff bengal makes drops em immediately, but it’s too damn expensive

Fauci said if you’re vaccinated for corona, they won’t sting you.

I’ve not seen any around here this year. Which is unusual. Maybe they migrated south?

That stuff only pisses them off. Ten years ago, it would drop them on contact. They must’ve changed the formula or something.

If they’re around your house, you got problems.

I killed five yesterday on my patio. Came out a little while later and there was five more.
