Damn wasps

Been traveling out of town and having to park my truck. Well I'm out getting to boat and truck ready for the lake tomorrow and I kept seeing red wasps flying around and I popped my hood and saw this asshole just waiting to sting me!
I knocked the nest down with a screw driver and bolted across the yard. Lol, my dog was like whatever we're running!

 

Why is this not in the 2nd Gen section?

 

Thank you for your valuable input.

 

You want a mean Wasp , then look up Tarantula hawk . If you see a 3" long blueish colored body with red wings don't piss it off or try and kill it . These wasps are rated #2 on the Schmidt sting rating for the most painful sting . Just for reference the #1 insect is the Bullet ant

I've seen quite a few Tarantula hawk's in my area recently and when I walk by one I'm very careful to not piss it off

 

Amen. Yellow jackets, red wasps, killer bees, tarantula hawk wasps. We got them all here.

 

Can we please have this moved to the Turd Gen section?

 

I'm 3 for 4 summers on getting popped by a wasp. We have plank wood horse fence and they build in the gates. So when you open the gate they swarm and I always get hit.

 

You ever seen the video of the guy who was in Africa or something. And while he was their a village had a test for "manhood"?

He stuck his hand in a pipe deal full of those ants. He ended up in the ER like a couple hours later. Dude was legit messed up. Pretty sure they were bull ants.

 

I've seen that, some village it's like a right of passage to manhood, kids sticking their hands in "mitts" full of bullet ants and they have to withstand it for X amount of time.

 

Wasps I think I could handle. But if my truck got infested with spiders? Nope, nope nope. Light the truck on fire and consider it a loss.

 

Red wasps decided my mailbox was a cool place to hang out about a month ago...needless to say there was a fight and lots of spary action going on...hate those bastards.

 

been stung by wasps several times been stung by yellow jackets several times..wasps feel like a needle prick to me. yellow jackets hurt me a lot more and the pain lingers a lot longer. give me a wasp any day over a yellow jacket.

 

This is one of the little dicks that want in my house this morning.

Windows open and I can hear him buzzing the screen.

 

That's the same evil wasp that I found! Good for nothing!

 

Last summer I was trimming a bush (giggity) and after a minute or 2 noticed I was surrounded by wasps. The noise of the trimmer pissed em off, I didn't hit the nest. I didn't know where the nest was, the bush was about 8 feet around with a pile of rocks in the back.

I retreated and stocked up on ammo at walmart. I soaked the whole bush with about a half dozen cans of spray. Then emptied 3 more cans into the rock pile. I left it alone after that. Last week I tried to trim it again and didn't see any.

I put a little boat in the pond out back of my property. When I slid away in the water I looked at a bush on the edge of the pond. Hanging on that bush was a wasp nest the size of a dinner plate, no lie. I thought had I been just a foot over I would have hit the bush. I rowed over to the other side got out, went to the barn and got all the spray we had. I went back and sprayed a whole can and ran for the hills. Went back the next day and the nest was empty. I knocked it into the water and looked for more nests.

 

Those damn Mud Daubber Wasps or whatever they are called always like to build nests in my truck.

 

Got a problem with them too. They build nests on my boat and they are a pain to get cleaned up!
