I thought they were dead. I thought they were gone for good. I WAS WRONG!!!

theres a few occupied paper wasp nests in the backyard of my work, which i occasionally tamper with when im bored. fortunately, the paper wasps arent very aggressive, and usually stay within a close radius to the nest.

We use dish soap and water in a spray bottle down here for wasps and mud daubers. Gums their wings up so they can't fly, then you can smash 'em at your leisure.

:p

The next time I'm swatting a swarm of them off me, I'll try to keep track of the ones that have already stung.

;)

Bees disembowel themselves when they sting you, so you'll know them by the carcasses they leave behind. Wasps, on the other hand, can and will sting you repeatedly, with great joy and enthusiasm.

We have lots of wasps here...bazillions of the fuckers...and they do take an evil pleasure in stinging the hell out of you...

Fortunately, the "long-range nuk-u-leer bomb" spray does a good job on nests and flying invaders as well...

They built a nest under the lid in my Weber gas grill...I took an extra-special pleasure in lighting the grill when I found that one...
