NOOOOO!
In the last few days I have noticed a HUGE amount of yellow jackets (I think) in my backyard fence and on my front porch. My land owner says that they like to use old wood to make their nests (sweet. my house is all old wood.)
so I didn't think much of it until this morning when two yellow jackets climbed (somehow) into my kitchen through the window.
It took five hits on each one for them to die. Kirsten was doing the dishes and my eyes almost fell out of my head while she was talking to me because the silhouette of a wasp was climbing up behind her.
These things are like zombies, you have to pull apart the entire body for them to die.
If any bug was ever a zombie, its the wasp. After some research I found out they love sugar, and they love to "gorge" meat. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!? It means that after I found all this out and went into my bedroom to get speakers I'd left in there and instead of speakers found ANOTHER huge wasp chilling on my ceiling- I went into cardiac arrest ish ness and stared in horror at the future sleepless nights where I look at the place that bug was buzzing and think about it feasting on my flesh.
sweet.
HOW DID IT GET INTO MY ROOM?!?!??!
1. Through the window
or
2. Through the ceiling hole (where my landlords SHOULD have put a light fixture or a fan like I asked them to.) (WHICH MEANS, THAT THE NEST IS PROBABLY IN THE ATTIC.)
How do you get rid of them?
Basically folks, you can't.
Unless you find the nest (which I don't plan on doing)
burn my house down
fumigate them (um hello pri$ey) (like termite problems pricey)
or hopefully spray...
but here's another problem.
I'M NEVER HOME.
I nanny from like 7 in the morning until 5 or 7 at night.
double sweet.
want to go triple?
my family is coming into town this week for Manasseh's graduation.
My sister and her husband are sleeping in my room.
Them and the wasps.
Brandon, please come home and kill these zombies.
Does anything instill more terror into your heart than the sight of those little yellow winged things?
no, not for me.

Actually, Wasps/Yellowjackets are territorial, but kind of passive. So if they see another nest, they take that territory as claimed and move on. It's amazing how a little brown paper sack bunched up around a 20 oz. soda bottle (empty and rinsed out) and hung in a tree (or in your attic) makes them feel like a Jonny come lately and split. It wouldn't fool a crafty human, but I guess bugs aren't so smart.
I think it's the passive ness that freaks me out. they are so sneaky!
and im allergic.
I hate those freaking boogers. I have only been stung once...when I worked as a landscaper. One flew up my shorts (oh yeah) and stung me on the leg. IT HURT SO BAD. I thought somebody had hit me with a hammer until I saw the stupid thing fly outta my shorts. I hope you can commit some serious waspicide.
