The little buggers love to build nests around the farm. I have cans of wasp spray in strategic spots around the farm.

Oh, I get that, only I am allergic to plants like stinging nettle too. The wasps are all over my farm & are the huge red ones that attack. Noticed the other day it warmed up & they were swarming all around my windows.

When I first moved to my farm, I closed off several rooms upstairs. Opened the door & there were 100's of dead wasps laying all around the room. After I got my new roof & the wood repaired under it, i only get a few inside now.

When I had my horse up at the neighbors barn, I opened the turnout gate. Something flew at me & stung my face. I am sure it was a wasp though I didn't see it. It got swollen but I put mud on it immediately. That always seems to help.

There were so many red wasps swarming around my roof when I first bought my farm I had this vision of my house flying away with all the wasps.

Yep, cans of wasp spray in the garage, basement, front porch & in my family room for the back deck & they have to spray at least 25 ft. I even provided cans of spray to the guys who did my roof & gutters this summer.

They are evil bugs. I also have a neighbor who raises bees for honey. The heavy equipment guys he had working there at first made him remove the bees because their equipment annoyed them & they were getting stung by them. I like bees but am as careful to avoid them as I am wasps
