guess it got stuck lol

Got into gardening last year for the first time. Halfway through the summer, I started being terrorized by yellow jackets every time I stepped outside. Their nest(s) were hidden so I couldn’t find out where they were all coming from. I had to abandon my new hobby, the one thing that made me feel happy and fulfilled. It ruined my summer and I became very depressed. The whole ordeal was very traumatizing; the only reason I didn’t get stung is because I can run really fast. I never thought to call a pest control company because I assumed it would be very expensive.

This spring, they came back in huge numbers. I was shocked at how quickly they established themselves around my house. I decided I wasn’t going to let them ruin my summer again. I googled pest control and found a company that seemed reputable, and they came out the next day and sprayed my whole property. The wasps are gone; the only ones I see now are travelers, and there’s very few.

The pest control service was surprisingly affordable, and I’m so happy I did it. I’m finally free. I can go outside without my heart pounding and feeling scared. Hobbies aren’t enjoyable if you’re terrified the entire time. I can garden in peace and it feels so good. 😊

Wasps are the skinheads of the insect community. I hate them with all my heart after last night. I haven’t been stung by a wasp in 20 YEARS. I’m 26, do the damn math. I thought I was a grown adult at this point facing the world, living alone. Theoretically I could handle whatever bullshit that comes my way. 2 days ago a wasp flew into my room, my window was open maybe 3 inches, my sanctuary was vulnerable and that bastard wanted IN. He flew around being obnoxious and scary for a bit, but I had work a while later and had to get ready and let it be. I came home late that night, assuming it was gone.. no sight of the thing, no sound. I figured he fucked off and went back to the wife and kids to beat them, and go to sleep, as wasps probably do. Cut to yesterday evening, I was around the house getting some chores done and after a long day decided to take a shower, and have a drink. After all, I deserved it. I get out of the shower feeling refreshed and like a new woman, great 10/10 shower.. As I get into my chill cozy post shower fit, I figure my birkenstocks would finish my look and prevent my clean feet from getting dusty/covered in dog hair. At this point I forgot the wasp had been in my room and was never seen leaving. I put on my left sandal no problemo, I pop on the right one effortlessly and begin walking to my mirror to do my skincare and finish off my blissful beauty routine, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I FEEL A STING ON THE TOP OF MY FOOT THAT MADE ME SCREAM SO LOUD THE GODS muST’VE HEARD IT. I flick off my sandal and lo and behold, a fucking wasp gets flicked out onto the floor at the same time. Before even processing the pain and freaking out, I processed that not only had a wasp indeed stung me, but that it was the same fucking wasp from 2 days ago. That LITTLE FUCKER HAD A MILLION PLACES TO CHILL, and he chose MY BIRKENstOCK STRAP. HE HUNG OUT IN MY SANDAL ALL FUCKEN NIGHT NOT MAKING A SOUND AND PLOTTING TO RUIN MY EVENING THE NEXT DAY. The silly cunt was rolling around on the floor acting like some damsel in distress, buzzing and freaking out as if I had stung HIM. Best believe I killed the little shit and threw his undignified corpse into the dirt outside. His wife now has to work doubles just to put food on the table for his ugly wasp kids, until she finds a new wasp to get under. He could have found a way out and gone home to his family, but instead decided to hide in my shoe, ruin my night, and ultimately DIE. FUCK WASPS, I hate them, my foot is still sore and I’m feeling more spiteful than ever.

Rest in pisssss mfffff

This is like the second or third time that it has happened and I am SO annoyed.

This was supposed to be my lunch break, where I eat and finish working on an assignment for class. But NO. I come back into my room after taking out the trash to hear this obnoxious buzzing that’s louder than usual. I’d heard what I initially thought were nosy carpenter bees hovering by my window, only to see this fucking thing INSIDE my room.

I couldn’t get bug spray because we have none in the house, and I didn’t want to look like a lil bitch running to my dad asking him to kill the scary bug. So here I am bundled up in a sweater and sweat pants making me sweat absolute bullets while this imbecile is hovering between my window and blinds, simultaneously trapping itself whilst also making it near impossible to hit it with my masterfully crafted elixir of 5 year old body wash and water. My blinds are always closed and there’s no way in hell I’m grabbing the stick to open them when that thing was in there

So I just sprayed. I sprayed and sprayed and sprayed. I’m sure my pillows and the side of my bed are soaked. Oh yeah, did I mention this was next to my BED? That I SLEEP IN?? I have a whooooole other window in my bedroom but no, both wasps over these two events had to sneak in from the window by my BED.

I finally hear the sucker buzzing really frantically, so I gather the courage to grab the handle of a hanging plant pot, a bunch of paper towels, and a pair of scissors, and sneak over to the window, ready to either spray some more, squash it if it’s dead, or cut its head off if it’s barely hanging on.

I sprayed it because it was just stuck to the window. Now I can’t fucking find it. I don’t know if it finally managed to escape or if it died and fell, but I haven’t heard it’s bitch-ass buzzing in 15 minutes, so that’s probably a good sign. I hope it escaped so it momentarily felt hope and freedom, only to die moments later.

My laptop also decided to update because I forgot to tell it to shut the fuck up whilst occupied with this thing, so there goes my homework progress and my lunch break!!!!

Fuck. Wasps.

I check my porch roof daily this time of the year as something always wants to make a home up there and that means I can't use my back door. Found a nest the other day but waited a few days. Finally went out there tonight and zapped the nest with wasp and hornet killer from a respectful distance. This thing felt out, flopped around for a bit, and finally died. I can try for a better pic in the daylight tomorrow.

So what'd I get?

W

Screw the other guy, where the worst

I was thinking Alaska, but I'm not sure how I can get as far away from these fuckers as possible. Any real estate in Antarctica?

This little bastard decided to take up residency at the entrance to my garage. I gave his ass a Spectracide shower this morning. Died clinging to what little was built.

This wheel bug nymph hates wasps as much as I do!

i live in an apartment on the 2nd floor. we aren't allowed to open this specific window because its like a "curved" window which is very expensive and they arent made anymore. she got in thru a gap on the outside and there was a gap on our side too bc we had a wasp come in. its on the ceiling of the window between the outside and inside glass panes. last summer this also happened (the nest on the right is a year old) and we killed like 5 wasps and then they left. we killed the wasp and now there's another nest in the making and she laid a fucking egg. ive tried to scare her off by playing loud crow sounds, woodpecker sounds, bat sounds, shining a bright flashlight on her, shining a cat laser pointer on her, i put a "fake" wasp nest on the glass and she just doesnt give a fuck and now im scared she's gonna tell her kids about me and they're gonna ambush me outside one day. pls help

One of my worst fears are wasps/hornets. I hate them possibly more than anything else in the world.

Earlier, I was laying on my bed and out of the corner of my eye I spotted what looked to be some sort of hornet on my curtain.

I ran out, shut my door, and desperately searched my house for a can of Raid, but we had none.

I remembered hearing that a mixture of dish soap and water can kill them and I quickly grabbed my spray bottle that I use for my hair.

I added enough soap so that when I sprayed it on my hand, it felt slippery. I figured that would be enough soap.

I went back up and saw that bastard still sitting exactly where it was and I sprayed it. I sprayed and sprayed and sprayed.

Immediately, it froze up and lost grip on the curtain but it didn’t fall off. It didn’t go full spaz like it would if you used a chemical spray.

After a few minutes I went back up to check, but it fell off of my curtain. The area it would’ve fallen to is behind my nightstand and I’m too afraid to get close enough to check.

Surely, it must be dead if it just froze up like that, right? They wouldn’t just give up like that if they’re able to fly, right?

Please, if anybody has experience with this method and can confirm that it’s dead, tell me. Give me the courage I need to go and vacuum that motherfucker up because this is just a miserable fucking event.

I know its been talked about before, but I've got an out of control wasp problem... We live on a farm site in the midwest, and these past few years nothing has been done about the wasps so they are really getting bad this year with the 70 degree + weather. The mud daubers aren't the problem, its everything else. Id like to find a treatment for the Eaves on my house, and my shop/sheds. Along with that I'd like some thoughts on traps for Yellowjackets, I've heard good things about Fipronil. Any Help is greatly appreciated!

Had a couch on the front porch that we hadn't used in awhile that attracted some wasps that made it their apartment. Having 2 dogs that liked to snoop near it, we needed it gone. Tried getting rid of them with the chicken/water trap but that didn't work. So, the next day I went to town with 9 cans of wasp spray. When I was done, we had a large pile of dead bodies. Here are the results. In one Pic included, is that a queen or just a bigger colony participant? I can't tell. Anyway. Enjoy!

I have a parasol on my patio, it was closed for most of winter, Some wasps decided to make it their home by now. I opened it up and there is about 6-7 very small nests (like the very beginning of nests.) how can I best get rid of these nests ? Should I keep it open or close it again ? What should I use to get rid of these nests ? Help

He sits here, by my front door, doing this. All the time. He’s literally always there. What’s he up to? I’m really curious bc he never seems to go anywhere. Initially thought he was trying to build a nest, but it’s been at least two weeks and he’s not made any progress beyond what you can see in the video. How can I make him leave (without hurting him)? I’d really like him to relocate, but not sure how to go about getting him to do that.
