A wasp somehow got inside my window, and is now stuck between it and the blinds. It goes crazy every few minutes trying to get back outside (so in other words it seems pretty pissed off). I'll be honest, I don't think I'd be quick enough to yank the blinds and squash it, so I'm trying to figure out what would be the best way to kill it.

Right now I'm kinda thinking pour some Clorox in a spray bottle (that I normally have diluted bleach in but is empty) would be the best option. Anything that might be more effective? I'd have fun and take one of the aerosol type sprays and a match and just blowtorch it, but I doubt that's the smartest idea indoors, especially since I'm just renting.

roll up a magazine or newspaper and quickly mash the blinds against the window crushing the innocent wasp

A mix of dishwashing liquid and water in a spray bottle kills them as fast as the canned wasp killer and won't damage most surfaces. Mix it pretty strong but not so strong that it's too thick to spray easily. The instant it touches the bug it will be unable to fly and will die in seconds.

Ah, the brute force approach. Too bad I don't have any of those large green foam fists so I could yell "Hulk smash!"

That's just great. While I was on here hoping ATOT would provide some mindless entertainment it apparently escaped. That or disentgrated somehow as there's bits of stuff on the window that look like they might be parts of a wasp.

That's exactly what happened to me. Earlier when I was sorta napping and heard a buzzing noise. I heard it a few more times throughout the day but it'd only happen for a couple of seconds and then stop for a long time. Finally I heard it going apeshit bashing its head into the window before I found out what it was.

Well, he came back, then disappeared again while I was getting the bleach ready, so I sprayed the bathtub. He was back when I checked so I got him.

Oh my god, it's walking around again, he's a mutant wasp and is going to kill me now. I sprayed him good, holy crap how is it not dead?!

Ok, I sprayed it some more and it's still not dead, in fact it's trying to bite and sting like crazy (even though it's doubled over and clearly in pain it is doing its damndest to exact revenge). Let's see if I can find a good blunt object with which to put it out of it's misery.

How can you not just smash the fucking thing and get it over with? If you're afraid of it, use a piece of paper towel to do the dirty deed...OR, use a rolled up newspaper, magazine, or even (gasp) a fly-swatter.

I subscribe the Barnum and Bailey school of everyday life where I must take mundane things and make them into entertainment, or idiotic adventure. Ok, so maybe its the Don Quixote school.

That is what I ended up doing, is smashing it. On a sidenote, I found out my roomate apparently has a big metal spatula that has serrated edges on one side and saw teeth on the other.

Spray some shit at it.

I had this happen once but with a bumblebee. I had nothing to spray him with other than Windex and he was fucking huge so I wasn't gonna try smashin it. Enough Windex finally killed the bastard. Not very effective but it worked. :confused:
