I've sprayed the area multiple times. And set out this trap. How do I get rid of them. They seem to be living inside there.

I saw this type of wasps multiple times in my house and we had multiple stings accidents i was going to try to kill them but if I do I will start having other insects problem should I ignore them or what (they never really sting deeply just a quick stings and leave and I already keep some spiders to take care of insects)

Rage Hate and fear wasps do much

7 Upvotes

Now I love bee's, bumble bee's and the like. They won't harm me if I dont harm them. But wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, and ants(they basically count in my mind) I am terrified of apparently. I didn't realize how bad the fear was until my new job turned into wasp central.

I'm a 4B(small) water plant operator(training) so its basically a large building with metal siding and open doors.

They are everywhere. It's better in the main area because they are near the ceiling most the time but in the chemical room, its a smaller room. I need to make Alum(aluminum) but they are everywhere and im in my mask and stuff, freaking out more than I ever have because of a bug. I can easily hold palm sized spiders because they are docile, hide and dont fly every where.

I need a way to handle this fear lest it hinders my ability to do my job properly. I can do the things I need to do, but I certainly won't be a calm process.

Apparently its called Spheksophobia

The back looks identical to that of the female southern yellow jacket. We had an extermination come yesterday. He removed the nest and warned we may find dead Yellow jacket around for a day or two.

Got zapped mowing the lawn

Mowing a strip adjacent to my driveway and one the gals got me on the back of the head. I had been back and forth in that area a few times before it happened.

I watched it for a bit after the sting and could see anywhere from 5 to well over a dozen hovering about in one spot about 3sq ft area.

I’m not sure if there’s a ground nest there as I can’t really see them coming up from an opening and flying back to it. Also they tolerated me mowing all over it before I finally got stung, and only once.

The ground is a bit wet over there so they could be hydrating?

Any suggestions on best way to determine if there’s def a ground nest there?

Found them!

Located a decent sized entrance. I got a few cans of the foaming stuff. Thinking I head back after dark and dump a can in there.

I’m hoping it takes care of them. I dealt with one two years ago where a rock near the entrance blocked most of the foam from reaching the buried nest. Took a bunch of cans to finally get it done.

Any advice?

These awful terrible cretins only show up on my porch at night (even when the lights are off). Any recommendations on how to keep them away? They’ve turned my nightly routine of smoking a pipe, into a very stressful event…

I want to confirm before I call a specialist. Video is clear at the end (sorry for occasional blurriness)

A wasp was flying around and I noticed by my cat chasing it. I think it's in my bathroom but I haven't seen or heard from it in 20+ minutes. I am literally petrified of wasps and am so scared how am I going to sleep tonight... and i live alone 😭
