There is an old metal jungle gym in the middle of my backyard and I was trying to mow the grass around the base of it. I accidentally knocked one of the metal legs fairly lightly with the mower. I then saw some fairly large insect fly past my eye, immediatly after that I fell a sharp pain on my lip. As a natural reaction, I swat my hand at the insect, then I feel another sting on the back of my neck. That's when I let go of the lawn mower and start running into the garage.

My mom comes over to me and asks me what happened. I say that I think I got stung by some bees or wasps and I explained what happened. She then says in Chinese, "It's your fault you hit the jungle gym. Stop complaining and finish mowing the damned lawn." :disgust:

It turns out that there is a wasps nest inside the metal tubing of the jungle gym, they must've gotten pissed when I hit it. Half of my upper lip is now swollen up along with a spot on the back of my neck. :(

What's a good way to get rid of the wasps? Serious responses only, wait who am I kidding? this is ATOT.....

spray with bee spray you get from home despot
it kills them fast, before they can sting you to death

My dad would pour gasoiline in the nest and start it on fire. When the stinging flying insects would have nests in the ground he'd do the same, though I don't remember if he would set those on fire or not, but in any event, it would definitely be cool to start those on fire too.

I'm waiting for the "So i just got attacked by W.A.S.P (band or the white rich girls)" parody thread any moment now.

My sister and I got stung (bitten? :confused;) by wasps last week when we were at work :(

A can of wasp killer spray in a can is what we use at the zoo. Ours were ground wasps, so spraying at night when they're all in their little wasp beds sleeping is the best time for spraying :p

Was I the only person who thought he was attacked by a bunch of white people?

Wait until after dark, they go in for the night and you can shoot them and probably get away without any "hits".

There's a nest of those really big black/dark red wasps around here, the ones about an inch and a half to two inches long. There were a few of them on my truck last week crawling on my windshield. When I was a little kid, I got nailed by about 6 of them when I tried to spray a nest in the back yard. The spray died after about 1 second, and all it did was piss them off and they got me good..

Your mom's a bitch.

Nighttime + Hairspray + Lighter if you wanna get ghetto on their ass. Otherwise, hose and plastic bags, and have a burning barrel ready.
