Feckin' wasps!

Bipolar Joe

I keep on getting attacked by the things every time I open a window or leave the apartment. Anything online to stop them is all about getting them stuck in honey or jam or whatever so they die. I'd prefer it if they didn't die, so anyone know a novel way of repelling them? Something I can just grab at Tesco or something. Like maybe they really don't like alka seltzer or something.

Funny enough I've not seen a single wasp this year. Usually the garden is full of them around now.

Stock up on food in Tesco. Close the windows, and don't leave the apartment again until it's winter.
Simples!

Stay out of the Hamptons?

You don't swat them they won't sting you.

You could try lying face down on the floor for an hour again. Good times.

But they try and steal my Bulmers.

Fúck the wasps, it's the bastardin' bluebottles the size of bats that need to be nuked.

My sisters both got stung yesterday, go fig :rolleyes:

Not seen a single wasp yet..

Few bees alright but I usually just ignore them. They ain't the same as those sadistic non honey making wasp cnuts! I'm just glad it's you on their $hit list and not me!

Change deodorant.

put a glass on the windowsill with jam around the edges, they'll gravitate toward it and stick, bunches of them, hundreds, thousands, millions :eek::eek:

Dave!

Yeah I'm seeing a sh*tload of them lately, unfortunately had to pop a cap in one yesterday when he came into my bedroom.

If you are not a fan of wasps I suggest you Google image search the Japanese giant hornet, and be grateful for where you live...

They'll be dead shortly anyway.Don't know what function they serve but there seems to be a plague of the little feckers about,quite small at the moment but they're probably still young.

I used to work on roofs,the only thing that used to get me through the day was killing hundreds of the bastards with a blowtorch.

I can be whatever you want me to be if you're paying honey.

Ahh no thanks

Nemeses

swipe them with a towel.

A bit of practise and a few stings later...

You'll nail the feckers!

I can not recall to have ever been stung by either a bee or wasp. I put this down to not giving a fcuk when either of the critters invades my personal space; instead of freaking out.

Horseflies on the other hand: utter bastards.

Electric tennis racket. Improve your one-handed backhand and massacre the little fcukers at the same time. Win-Win.

I'm either hearing "Loads of wasps" or "Where are the wasps?" this year. No in between. Isn't some fertiliser wiping out a load of them and this could have disastrous consequences for global food production?

They be bees.

I hate the feckers although I was in Uganda a few years ago and their local wasps are extremely aggressive compared to our ones. They land and sting straight away, no warning!
As someone suggested get a jam jar, half fill with water, rub some honey/jam on the upper rim, bore a hole in the lid just big enough to let the wasp in and bobs ur uncle!
There are a lot less wasps around this year due to the bad summer last year and the wet spring this year :-))
