I hate wasps

Pretty sure calmly gearing down and safely pulling over wouldn't have happened. Bikes react so quickly to the tiniest shifts and movements of the rider....that's why they're so agile. Adding a wasp sting in the eye at 60 or so is going to really complicate the physics of the situation. Unless maybe you're a Navy SEAL or own a horseshoe in your bum.

Reminds me of a TV show that was on years ago, in the show there was a huge pile up of cars and the investigation was following the events leading up to the fictional pile up, they eventually figured out a wasp had got into the first car, stung the driver multiple times, that driver had swerved from the pain of the stings, other cars had gone into him, then people crashed onto those cars, and so on

I cant remember how they figured out it was a wasp though

I found the nest the second evil bugger came from. I doused it with wasp spray. Killed ever last one of them!

I don't like wasps either

they are so annoying

I've been... cautious around wasps since childhood. Unknowingly disturbed a nest when I was five, and well, I still remember the stings.

Got stung by another spawn of Satan! It's ironic. I've gotten paranoid watching out for the little buggers when I'm outside. Was replanting some of my outside potted plants this afternoon. Yes, I checked all the plants before handling them. I'm playing withe plants and all of a sudden think "that felt like wasp sting". Sure nuf it was. Never even saw the b@stard! From the looks of things he nailed me at least twice!

This getting very old!

Liz, sounds like they are out to get you this year....target practice on Liz

Ugh, the chiggers are targeting me this year. Got one on my side & looked at it today & my whole side is black & blue. I don't remember even scratching it that hard.

Bugs are being EVIL this year

Moved my kitchen curtain & found a huge wasps nest just outside the window but on the inside of the screen the raccoons had made holes in to get to the bugs. The challenge to spray because it is 2 stories up & the shooting spray I have wouldn't reach. I let the wasps settle on the nest, opened the window just far enough to get the sprayer can aimed at them, sprayed, then slammed the window shut so none could get inside. Looks like several are ready to hatch. Hope this spray kills them too. Never know where they will make their nests. No stings so far

Eskie, EEEEK! Clever solution to the problem.

Once you are sure the adults are all dead you might want to remove the nest.

I have been spraying the nest cause it looks (looked) like there was larva waiting to hatch & want to kill it. Want it all dead before it falls into my house. Not sure I can get the screen raised to knock it outside. I had some trumpet vines growing up the house the raccoons climbed to get the bugs & look at me through the window. Those trumpet vines messed with the screen frame when we tore them down last year while clearing the behind the house
