How to really annoy wasps, but a DUMB THING TO DO

So... I was outside one day and was wondering why there were so many wasps wandering around. Looked under the deck and there was a nest.


So, with my fear of yellow-and-black striped insects, and having a bit of time on my hands, I uprated a bunch of the parts in one of those $3.00 electric fly swatters, mounted it on an old telescope tripod, and ran long wires to power it into the house. I had a little analog meter hooked up to it so I could watch the needle jump when it zapped a wasp. Worked pretty well until the wasps figured out what was happening and attacked it - there were so many wasps on it at a time it couldn't recharge enough to zap any of them. That was when the Raid came out.


Man, I hate wasps.

It actually took a lot more effort to set that up than it did the next day when the whole nest went into a garbage bag. It was kind of surreal when the wasps attacked it - there were zillions of them all over it.

Pound for pound, the amoeba is the most vicious animal on earth.

I just happen to know too many boys vs wasp stories I guess. Although my favourite is my dog deciding to poop on a ground wasp's nest.... and the mayhem that happened shortly afterwards.
