Hot Shot .... mace?

[Sld1959]

Yeah, the woman mentioned that last night. Might be what I do. I think Delta Dust will work.

A couple years ago we had a big nest in behind a shutter. I sprayed it with HotShot and hundreds spewed out dying. Now comes the brainy part, next day I want back to see if they were all dead and yep they were, but smart me did something I seldom do, went out barefoot and stepped on hundreds of dead wasps, they got the last laugh.

Now comes the brainy part, next day I want back to see if they were all dead and yep they were, but smart me did something I seldom do, went out barefoot and stepped on hundreds of dead wasps, they got the last laugh.

I never worried too much about them. I got stung in the face several years ago by about 5 bald faced hornets. It looked like I'd went a round or two with Iron Mike but other than that I was just fine. We'd had these red wasps ( dude, there were hundreds of them) hanging out on the corner of the house by the spigot for a few years and never had any real issues with them. Live and let live and all that. Then one day I was weed eating and I felt a spot on the back of my head get really hot. I figured out pretty quickly why when I saw a couple red wasps flying agitatedly towards me. So I got mad, went in the house looking for wasp spray. The wife informed me I had given my last two cans to her brother across the street, who wasn't home. So I went to the other side of the house to weed eat. My wife heard me fire up the weed eater and then a few minutes later heard it die and when it didn't fire back up again she came outside and found me on the ground in anaphylactic shock next to my trailer.

Anyway, ever since then I carry an Epipen with me and it touched off a war between me and these bastard red wasps. I'd go out early in the morning and later in the evening and soak the crap out of the gap in the aluminum fascia where they were getting into my soffit. I'd kill them off by the hundreds during the day when they would gather on the fascia. After a year or so I decided it was time to rip all that old crap off the house and put all new up. While I was up there tearing everything off I ripped out the old wooden soffit, looking for the queen. I never found her but I suspected that I had removed her and her lair was somewhere in the mess all over my yard now. Fast forward to a month or so ago and there on the corner, crawling under the shingles were a few red wasps. I sprayed up in there for a few days and figured maybe it was just a few of them. Then I get a call from my wife, who had just jabbed herself with an Epipen ( she has been highly allergic since she was a kid) telling me the war was back on.


So I got a bunch of cans of Raid from work and went to war. As of the last few days I haven't seen any, but they aren't going to lull me into a false sense of security again.

Damn be careful dude, my wife carries eipens and adrenaline because she is deathly allergic to chlorine based products cleaners etc. By the time I got her to the emergency room she was technically dead. Scary stuff, take care my man.

Jaws was Richard Kiel, who also played on Wild Wild West as an associate of Migolito Loveless the little person villan

Met Richard back on the early 90s in San Diego. One huge guy! His wedding band would fit around two of my fingers. Even then he had trouble getting around and would be sitting in a huge padded chair most of the time.

Had the same thing happen, but it was the blood pressure med, lisinopril, which caused me to have a near-death experience. So I can relate.

Fortunately for us her brother is a boss at a company I can't name that used to be owned by another company I can't name and what this company does is manufacture and distribute antidotes for the US military and epipens.

When my ex and I bought our first house we found out quickly there was a problem with our neighbors home and solid black wasps, I couldn’t do yard work without a spotter usually my ex or father in-law because as soon as I started making noise I would be attacked. At certain times of the day we couldn’t go outside because of swarming wasps. Eventually the home owner had the siding removed by contractors with the help from exterminators and removed a nest that was the size of a small car. The wasps had eaten a large portion of the corner of the house’s wood from the ground floor to the second story to build the nest. The house was condemned for a short period of time until repairs were made.
