A stupid wasp stings me on the back of my head. He must have hit a nerve cause the pain shot all the way down my back.

I did eliminate all of his family. I hope he was watching as I poisoned the entire clan. He might have been laughing at first but I had the last laugh watching every single one of them twitching and dying.

Stupid nature.

I hate wasps. Brake kleen makes an excellent wasp killer.

Not a Harley rider. A KKK member. To join you must be a White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

Quite possible one drove by and the noise pissed off the wasps.

2nd brake kleen advocate... and as much fun as the flaming version is... just too much drama and chance of collateral damage

She.

You were stung by a girl. A sterile girl.

Which might explain their natural hostility and aggression.

yellow jackets (a type of wasp) is what always gets me …

I realize it's overkill (pun intended) but I wait 'til dark and then pour ~ a pint of gasoline down their hole … then light a wad of paper and toss it on the hole

Has there not been a whole world of bad E36 M3 written about fire and brake cleaner? Phosphene as a by-product or some such?

Carb cleaner melts wings. It's very satisfying. We had a nest of hornets. HAD.

We have wasp nests on the outside of the shop, in a few of the project cars parked outside, and even in some of the wheels stacked outside the shop. We have an agreement. I don't bother them, and they don't bother me. The only time I've been stung was when I accidentally disturbed their nest- when I was 10' up on a ladder. It's not out of the ordinary for me to work outside the shop and have them flying all around.

Oh, they're here in the us. Sightings have been confirmed. I've done one eradication job that I'm positive was the giant Asian wasp. It darn sure wasn't the likes of cicada killers. I did a second that no one could identify, may well have been a hybrid of the giant Asian wasp and the bald faced hornet.
