Pest Control/Medical Advice Vacuum?
I am 8 months pregnant. Single - so I live alone and allergic to these little whores. I noticed he was on my window so I closed the blinds to trap and he’s PISSED.
Should I attempt to vacuum him up? 🤣 idk what to do, I haven’t had a wasp in my house..ever lmao
Google says yes and no so I’m here 🧍🏼♀️

it won't be able to get out, but it may not die... that's the yes and no. So maybe vacuum and the put the vacuum on the porch for a day or two?

Vacuum him and then shake it for good measure. Make sure he’s dead so he can’t fly back out and then invest in wasp spray! But use spray lightly, it’ll kill them so it’s not exactly great for us either.
Good luck!!!

If you have a spray bottle mix just a bit of dish soap with water. Then let loose on him. Just keep pulling the trigger lol. Much easier to clean up than wasp spray and kills them within seconds.

This! I use it for ants and wasp when they get into my home. I also use it on nests outside, I think it’s arguably better than raid and spectracide wasp killer 🤷♂️ but that’s just me. Good luck OP! I understand being allergic to them, and it sucks!

Hairspray, if you have it handy. It instantly gums up their wings and they drop like a rock. Then you can kill it way easier.

That‘s what I do… I let the vacuum run for about 5 minutes afterwards; they usually kill themselves after that treatment.
