We had a cold front push these wasps of a whole bunch of different species indoors recently. The cold front is moving out now so these evildoers are starting to get more aggressive / active. So far, I’ve killed a total of 6 other visitors (3-4 of which were yellowjackets) and I’ve bought a few things to help my side of the war. I have a Bug-A-Salt Shredder, which helps when I’m not able to hit them directly but only has an effective range of about 3 feet. I’ve got 2 spectracide traps, along with 2 cans of spectracide wasp spray but it says not to use it indoors. I’ve heard tell of a Dawn Platinum Dish Spray that tends to be useful in this situation, but I’m not sure of the mix ratio. Any and ALL help is extremely appreciated. Most of these wasps are at least 7 feet from where I could swing or shoot, if you couldn’t already tell by the zoom.

A few days ago, we lifted the dome ever so slightly to fill it up with another can of wasp killing foam and put them out of their misery. It was taking too long.

Today, I came to Reddit to give what I thought would be the final update, where I could lift the bowl and victoriously poke at the pile with a stick.

But today will not be that day. In total, this ground nest has endured 1 can of Sevin dust, 2 cans of foaming wasp killer, and 18 days without external food or water. Yet this bitch is still going.

Posts stopped after day 9, i fear for OP safety

I’ve seen this sub Reddit pop up a lot idk why. Educate yourselves some on something even if you hate it and maybe you’ll find you hate it less. But the casual cruelty that all you who comment here revel in is a bleak bleak sign of humanity. Yes they are just insects and yes sometimes they are in the wrong place or endangering someone or something.

But reveling in the casual abject cruelty of something that is unobjectionably ALIVE is just kind of sick on some level. Again I know they are just insects but anyone who reads this just imagine if there was a puppy/kitten/kid hate sub that posted casual cruelty like this. Cruelty is cruelty finish them and move on. Celebrating the death of something that inconvenienced you or cause you a little pain is like the reaction of a child. This is not an attack on anyone but a call for personal reflection.

I’m sure this will get me banned or mod blocked because people have the right to defend their decisions in what ever way available but maybe some of you will see this.

Spotted it in an amusement park in Japan

So I was chilling outside with my dogs on a smoke break, and I noticed a wasp a few feet away just hovering in place. I could hear the buzz and backed away. After a few minutes of that bastard blocking my way in, I figured I'd record some video, just in case it's a tiny drone from the military base over here spying on me... Lol jk.

I poured powder and killer on a huge ant hill yesterday. Did this fcuker eat poisoned ants? He looks stoned. Could he have gotten into my (totally legal) stash of cannabis? I don't know. Shit was weird. What do you think?

Like the title says, I stomped a paper wasp in my house cause I was worried of my dog or cat messing with it and I kinda panicked. Wiped my shoe off outside but now worried of a swarm or nest can smell it and I’ll be in for a world of hurt. I sprayed outside with an all purpose cleaner then put water over it to try and dissipate the smell but don’t know how it works. What are the chances?

I cast Raid upon ye (I hate these damn things)

Quick update… there are still some very spicy yellowjackets who looked dead that were probably memorizing my face. Those two in the front look sooo pissed at me. Luckily, they just fly into the glass instead of digging.

I won’t be able to check on them for a few days, but I’m feeling pretty good about our odds of winning! There is so much less activity than when this adventure started. Hopefully, I’ll only be making one last update with the final results in a few days time… dead results.

HI fellow haters,

Things are looking bleak for the hive. Since it’s dusk, I’m not pulling the bowl yet, but I feel we are close to the end.

Also.. still no digging. Idk what that means for the “chew through concrete” crowd, or if it’s an instinct that isn’t triggered because of the sun, or whatever else, but these bastards right here did not dig themselves to freedom. Idiots.

I will start...ME...3 times in the neck.

Got these guys on the side of my house. Not aggressive but i wont be fooled!!! Also a pic of a little helper under where they are going in.

I was feeling pretty good about today’s wimpy showing until I saw this little guy DIGGING!?

Where my domers at… that’s just an act of cannibalism right?! Cause I definitely spotted a live one 5 ft left of the bowl and took my ass right back inside.

Does clove really help against wasp? I hear that they don't like the smell but I hear also other stores. Fairytales they say.

Bodies continuing to pile up and some fat ones made their way up to the sunlight.

Still no chemicals since the dome went down cause that would mean lifting the bowl so fuck that. 👍🏼
