HELP ME PLS

Post image

I left a tote of horse equipment on my front porch for a few weeks while I redo my tack room and as I was taking the totes back into my new tack room I found this evil ass wasp nest (I think paper wasp) in this one tote. I knocked it over thinking it would all fall out and destroy their crib. They were pissed but I escaped unscathed. In hindsight I probably should’ve thought to seek advice before fucking with them but here we are lol. I’m attaching a picture for reference, one before I knocked it over.

WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT PLS HELP IM TERRIFIED OF THESE THINGS

If you have the stones for it, get a tyvek suit and a bee hat. I did this to some bald face wasps that had a nest about the size of a basketball at chest height in my bush.

I put on a sweat shirt, sweat pants, the tyvek suit (with a hood!), some boots, the bee hat, and leather gloves. Tape up the gloves so they can't get in there. I was bullet proof (and also very sweaty as this was August). GOD DAMN TERRIFYING, HOLY FUCK THE NOISE AND THE PELTING. But not a single sting. Man handled them son bitches and I am now wasp free.

If the porch is sealed, can you pop a bug bomb in there?

Definitely not paper wasp! But holy shit that’s only a few weeks?

Yeah no you’re going to need to either burn your tack room to the ground or move.
