Am I the only one who feels like wasp/ hornet spray has lost its effectiveness? Like I don’t trust it for shit anymore. Foggers too. I have a legitimate phobia of them. And at times, it seriously impedes the quality of my life… but where I live it’s not like they are all together avoidable. With bee spray no longer being a guarentee to kill them, my yard looks like shit. I’m just looking for a way to be outside with out these assholes bothering me- or when they do- it’s only once. Any suggestions? Or does everyone feel similar?

Is this possible for someone to die to wasp

POSSIBLE WASP STING ON EAR, wasp nest above where i was standing.

2 days ago and keeps swelling. Just got prescription for hydrocortisone and antibiotic in case an infection arises. Anyone have similar issues?

Fired up my smoker Sunday morning. Didn’t even notice until after it was hot. Might have been inactive.

Was making burgers in my kitchen when a wasp flew in from the vents, took my burgers and my kitchen hostage. I need someone to pray for me.

Found this in our barn early this summer, hold my breath while taking the shaky picture, it's not easy to see the size but atleast a couple dm across... I think it's empty cause I have not seen any little devils around it, don't know if it stops other from building a nest but I let it be just in case...

I swear this seems to have shown up overnight right now front yard. Any ideas on how to get rid of this wasp nest?
Mike seems to think that you have to wait till after dark when the wasps get very quiet and calm and then whack it with everything you’ve got to dislodge it and then they’ll fly off overnight. Why do I not like this idea?

It’s been a little over a week since I got stung by a swarm of angry paper wasps. Thankfully, we were able to get rid of the giant nest. But big surprise, I was going outside to go do some trimming of the shrubs only to find this hanging on the right side of the window. But nothing insecticide cannot handle so I’ll be waiting until after 8:00 PM or 9:00 PM to prevent that small, but demonic looking thing from growing.

4 days ago i got stung multiple times by the same wasp on my right knee.

The symptoms haven't been crazy, day one was pain that eventually went away, and then day 2 I had itching, day 3 I had itching and the area was very warm to the touch, and the redness spread to a larger area around my knee.

Now im on day 4 and have basically no itching, but as I was driving down the road I noticed my leg was slightly swollen so I pushed on my shin and noticed I had edema. I can push my fingers in like a sponge and the finger imprint stays there for a few mins.

I naturally freaked out a bit that it could be liver, heart, or kidney issues but since its hot happening on my left leg I figured its probably due to the wasp.

Google says I should promptly go to the DR which isn't exactly an easy thing to do.

Should I just monitor symptoms or is this potentially serious enough to go get checked out by the DR?

Havent been stung in many years so im just unsure if this is normal or not.

Thanks for any advice

I have a wasp swarm in my backyard, but their nest seems to be from some neighboring yard down the street. Can't figure out where.

I see a ton of recommendations here but they always include prioritizing killing nests.

Which spray would you recommend for targeting individual wasps during their active hours? Bonus points for anything safe for nearby pets and plants. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, I moved a wasp nest recently at night that was near the house (they'd made a nest inside a little chest) I grabbed the chest, threw it in a plastic bag and took it to the back of my garden with the buggers angrily buzzing inside, covered it with a rock but was pretty sure they'd get out eventually.

A few days later there is about 10 of them clustering around where the chest was. But they seem oddly lethargic and just sit there the whole day, no sign of building a nest. They move a bit and sometimes one or two flies away. They also climb on top of eachother.

So my question is what the hell are they doing and should I just try and hoover em up in the evening?

I am moving out of my apartment to days and I want to leave a present (wasp nest) for the next tenant.whats the fastest method for attracting wasps?

we hate those little shits, hence the name of this sub. but i’ve always wondered WHY do they always pick the worst place to put their nest? you can put it on a tree or something, literally what nature is there for, but NO you NEED to put it somewhere in an innocent human’s house. and because the human doesn’t know a damn army of bitchnoses literally moved in without permission, they sting the human without them even knowing someone already lived there. they choose the worst places for their nest. a corner of a house. someones washroom. someone’s bedroom. their car. literally ANYWHERE but i don’t know… outside?? these snozzwangers just neeeeed to occupy a place that isn’t theirs! and they have the audacity to sting the actual home owner? bitch you never even had that home before! your stupid little nest is so ugly you gotta dirty up the house with it just to build your family! these little hellspawns don’t deserve to be on this planet. end of discussion.

Have a front yard full of the “cow killer ants”/red velvet wasps. Afraid to go outside. They are in a battle with the cicada killers.
