Last month, I discovered a paper wasp nest under my porch roof. Thinking I’d go “eco-friendly,” I sprayed it with soapy water at midnight. BIG mistake—they retaliated by dive-bombing my dog. Then I bought a $40 decoy nest (supposed to scare them off), but the hornets just built NEXT to it. Finally caved and called an exterminator who used pyrethroid foam . Now I’m paranoid every buzzing sound is an avenging swarm. What’s YOUR win-or-fail strategy?
Tried peppermint oil spray, they built a nest IN my diffuser. Now my garage smells like a candy cane massacre.
Store-bought trap caught 50 wasps… then my toddler brought it to ‘show and tell.
Wasps kill my honeybees! I use meat bait traps, works but smells like a zombie apocalypse.
@CaveDweller666 Murdering living beings? Disgusting. Use essential oil barriers!
Sprayed a nest at 3 AM… in my boxers. Got stung WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE.
Smoke + garbage bag method! Cover nest, tie bag, freeze it. No chemicals!
@MousePatrol Or just leave the bag and let winter sort it out.
Mistook a mud dauber nest for a hornet hive. Now I’ve murdered harmless bugs.
Let the nest stay, they ate my aphids! But my mailman refuses to deliver now.
Soda bottle trap with jam + vinegar. Caught 200 wasps! But now my yard’s a buzzing landfill.
