    Wasp problem

    We have a really really bad wasp problem in our neighborhood. They are everywhere. I haven't been around when they actually attacked someone. The ones around my house have just minded there own business. Tonight we had a couple of families over for a BBQ and one of the kids must have pissed them off. I was stung 4 times when I was walking in the back door. Once was on the lip. I forgot that it doesn't feel very good when that happens. Can't remember the last time I was stung. Three of the kids that were there tonight were also stung as well. My wife and I felt pretty bad they were stung in our backyard.

    Wal-Mart sells this wasp spray that shoots like 25 feet. Stand back and watch them fall from the sky. It's quite satisfying after they've gotten you good.

      My neighbor who was there had some of that. We unleashed it on them. And yes, it was very satisfying to see them fall. I am not kidding when I say that we killed around 100 in my back yard after we were all stung. We unloaded the the ones we suspected stung us all as well as a couple of others out there.

          I was disappointed to see that this thread did not contain one word about White Anglo-Saxon Protestants and their Jew-hating ways. I was getting ready to watch a good fight, instead I have been underwhelmed by some overhyped bees.

            Move a few black families in - you'll see the WASP's leaving the neighborhood in a hurry.

              I thought he was going to complain about the lyrics and content of W*A*S*P's landmark self-titled debut album. It certainly is not for kids!

                The cover art is so inviting for children that when they begin with their uncouth lyrics you just find yourself gobsmacked!

                  That is the exact problem I thought Hot Lunch was going to describe!

                    The wasp spray works, but fire is more fun. Find the nest and torch it. Teach those insects a real lesson about which species rules.

                      We have put wasp spray on top of some of the holes wasps go away there. I have yet to be stung by wasp. Though I had some close calls.

                        I worked in a saw mill in Oregon during the last 2 summers of my high school years. I was a slave to the pipefitters and whenever they got a work order I was the kid who went out and dug the hole to find whatever pipe was leaking. Occasionally I'd get a call about a huge wasp nest and I'd be ordered to take it out. The weapon of choice was a 2 inch fire hose which we had spaced ever 100 feet or so all over the property. It might not sound like much but it was the equivalent of using a nuclear weapon on those poor beasts. For a 17 year old kid that was about as cool as an assignment could get.

                          When I first read this I thought it said Waup problem, and I wondered if he was posting pictures of his boil again.

                              Why, man? Why? I almost died. I was hospitalized. I bought a Nintendo Wii for my mom while on painkillers in the hospital and I can't remember doing it. That cuts me deep man, almost as deep as the scalpel that saved my life, while you were mocking my unbelievable, tribble-like, troubling pain.
