Wasps and me had a fight

Them 0 me a whole bunch.

They had gotten into the shed I keep the HD and some tools I use all the time in. Was getting stung almost every time I went in.

This time I just sent off a bomb and shut the door.


Was going to work on the Jeep today but could not get to the tools. Pissed me off.

    Back when we could "bait" bears in Wa I was moving some logs setting up the bait when the log I was carrying came alive with a swarm of wasps. I dropped the log, which aggravated them further. Fortunately most of my skin was covered but they did get a few hits in before I got out of the area and smashed the ones that continued to hang on to me. I don't know what the final tally came out, but we settled on a negotiated peace- they'd stay in their log and I wouldn't move it around.

    What set me off today was I was not even bothering them and was on the other side of the yard when one stung me in the back.

    It's now about 11:30; so I suppose the little apocrita have gone to bed- so if you're up to it, NOW is the time to move in for the kill of any that survived this afternoon's onslaught.

    I hunt the little buggers to the ends of my property. Hate them with a passion. I've been out several nights this month armed with a mini mag light and a can of spray. Shining up into all the little nooks and crannies on the buildings until I find the little devil's lair. Then it's a long spray until all of them have hit the ground.

    Then I giggle like a little girl.

    Did I say that I hate them?

    I know how you feel. It has been a 12 year battle around here. Just when I think I am winning, I find even more nests.
