Yellow Jackets are assholes.
 

A bunch of them stung the shit out of my face and head yesterday afternoon.

Fuckers paid this morning. I'm now looking for their pals.

This is THE BEST bee killer ever made.

Mix 50/50 with water, put in a pump sprayer and hose down the nest. The wasps drop like very small rocks. Unlike the really poison shit where they just zoom up in the air, this shit just drops them instantly and it is non toxic to plants and peoples. And it cleans really well too.

Yellow jackets ARE assholes.

This is papa glatt gearing up to battle some yellow jackets a week ago.

And this is him in action.

I'm so proud! He's funny, but he didn't get stung.

My favorite though is still Matthias Wandel.
The wasp sucking machine.

The return of the wasp sucking machine.

No salt gun?

do they die? or just fall out and come to later with revenge on their minds?

My boys took a video of themselves killing a next of yellow jackets at my Dad's place a few months back. It's very funny. There's lots of screaming and yelling. I'll try and figure out how to upload it later today if anyone's interested. It's the soundtrack that's funny. They did it at night when the nest was full, so you can't really see that much.

They were seriously killed.

Some kind of winged bastard bit me right above the elbow recently, as I employed the old 'knock it down with a stick" method. At first I scoffed at his weak stinging prowess and sprayed a little Benadryl on it. Over the next week, though, my arm got an itchy red lump in that area. Bastard.

Totally screwed up the proportions of my triceps.

My mother (and her resident unpaid boarder, my brother) has a giant nest of yellow jackets just above her front door. They both refuse to kill them on some sort of half-baked Buddhist principle. Fucking insane.

As a half -baked Buddhist myself, I sneer at the suggestion of allowing yellow jackets to live. I guess it depends on which half of your Buddha is baked.

Thanks for sharing your weapon Foot. I hate anything w/a stinger.

Did it appear to be a horrible, horrible death? 'Cuz that would be a plus.



ETA: Also, does this stuff work on individuals, like the one buzzing my head when I'm on the patio?

In other words, if I hit him w/a good spritz, will he fall dead, or do they need a good soaking?

I'll testify.

a reprise of a story posted here somewhere... anywhoo

I used the citrus cleaner area effect weapon with homicidal glee last summer. I didn't find that they dropped dead. They dropped, then I squished the fuck out of them. MAYBE they were already dead, MAYBE they would have died sooner or later, but the righteous crunchy pop they made was irresistible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

word to the wise. they're not paying you to bring ammo home. do not start this fight without without a genocidal commitment to Kill. Them. All. You are outnumbered. You will not be rescued. Prepare accordingly.

They will fall from a squirt and are down for the count writhing on the ground trying to figure out WTF? They can barely walk let alone fly or sting. crush at your option.

be sure to get the larva.

Is it better than the veal?

No, but it slips down easier than the magma.

:lol:


Hey, no recommending food unless you've made a wisecrack!
