I fucking hate this time of year the wasps genuinely become so annoying. Leave the door open for a moment and 3 are in your house. That's not even the worst of it, any time you want a snack these fuckers gotta rubberneck like your toddler cousin at a funeral. I don't get wanting to shoo them away, these things will sting you after you even try and get away. I hate them so much. I have slaughtered so many. I will not stop.

The nest is desintigrating in the tree and pieces are falling down.

In one of the pieces i saw the baby-hornets in their sacks (i dont know the right word)

I had my knife on me, i cut one out and put my Victorinox next to it, the baby's are about 3cm's! (Just over an inch in freedom lingo)

Something about those faces burried in those sacks gives mee goosebumps... Looks like those Alien-hatchings in progress 🤮

This nest was discovered on a side window of my house behind a curtain that faces an alley I rarely walk through. Pulling back the curtain reveals the layers and inner core of this active nest. Super freaky to see and discover!

A wasp has NEVER came into my bedroom before. Let alone 2. I have to get ready in twenty minutes for school and the wasps are flying around everywhere. I turned my lights off but they still won’t fly outside. I’m deathly afraid of them

Going down my deck stairs and their creepy little heads. This is going to be a walk in the park.

I’ve found these Mud Dauber houses around the yard before—but never one this huge.

Yellow jackets are going crazy at my work place. I think they're attracted to my bright colored safety vest I have to wear. Haven't been stung by one but if they come into my truck they're dead. Caught this one by surprise today.

- Noticed yellowjackets coming and going from a hole in the garden today. Luckily noticed it without stepping on it and getting stung, and kept a distance.

- Suited up in a full bee suit, with tall rubber boots and thick rubber gloves over beekeeping gloves. Taped the gloves and the boots to the cuffs of the suit.

- Put soapy water in shop vac

- Left vacuum running pointed at the hole for 2 hours, occasionally beating the ground around it

- Dug up nest and vacuumed up stragglers

- Fed nest to domestic fowl

No stings received during the operation.

Just noticed on a part of the roof we don’t lay eyes on often. Basketball sized! Will have to remove before the roofers come. Maryland USA

a large nest (and lots of YJs) were in the wall, behind this masonry crack. my brother used delta dust on the exterior and puffed it into the crack, but no luck. i suggested my bait. he put it out and 48 hrs. later, no activity! killed it dead…and they do the work for you! 50ml chix juice from a can of cooked chicken, 150ml water, 10g of miracle grow water crystals and then 0.6ml of fipronil. we use the ampules of flea/tick by pet armor for 22 lb. dogs. very convenient single servings! mix up the bait and set it out (keep away from other animals. we use prescription bottles with 1/2” holes drilled in the side).

I have been stung 3 times in the past 2 summers. Both my mom and dad go outside more and have never been stung by a wasp. I do not go near or provoke the wasps because I have wasp phobia.

What things can I do or wear to prevent the wasps from going near me

In recent weeks I've noticed a couple wasps (?) climbing in and out of this little crack between my foundation and front step. I didn't think much of it until a massive swarm popped up around some items covered in citrus-scented paint stripper gel that my wife put out on the walkway. They settled down after dark, but there's clearly a sizable population down there. I don't know how much room is actually in there, but I'm also getting the interlock replaced soon, so I don't want that to be a surprise for the contractors.

What should I do? All the wasp killer sprays at Home Depot say not to use them in void spaces or underground. Should I just cover the hole with silicone or something? Appreciate any advice.

Hello, I was wondering if someone could help ID these nests in my garage, there’s only one wasp i see flying around, but it’s hard to get a close/long enough look at it to take a pic or really study what it looks like, thanks!

Any tips to get rid of wasps inside a brick weephole? I plan on covering and filling the hole over the winter but in the meantime? We don’t have access to delta dust or most sprays other than calling a pest control company. Any advice? Thank you!!

I’ve been trying to figure out how these guys are getting into the house until I saw this by my front door? It’s getting evicted either way, but do these guys sting?

Arkansas summer time at my house is beautiful, except for the army of red wasps that rotate through the walls of my house. Old house, gaps in boards, dry weather, boom. One million angry mfers. I use so many cans of spray but they are so deep behind the boards that I guess some stay. Other than ripping off my siding (not really savvy enough to be able to replace them), any ways to kill them?? Any suggestions on ways to fill the gaps after spraying??
