Every day I wake up, there's a 70% chance I'll see a wasp(s) floating around my house, either on a doorway or being a dick by flying from one side of the house to the other.
I'm also terrified of them. I've never been stung personally by a wasp (bees yes) but my mother was nearly killed by a swarm of them just repeatedly attacking her, and getting stuck in her hair.
We live just across the street from some woods and a river, so we get all kinds of obnoxious insects in our house, but most of them are easily dealt with because they can be easily captured (or killed, if I have to act fast), but wasps are a no go for me.
My house mate thinks this electric racket that's meant for flies and other minor insects works just fine, but they have to REALLY hold onto that button before the damn wasp stops moving, and I just don't have the confidence to use that thing. Plus, it's not always an option since wasps like to crawl around corner looking for a way out.
I've tried catching them in a container before, but there's the problem of getting a lid on before the bastard flies out and is now thoroughly pissed at you.
so how do you guys deal with them? Are you confident enough to just go squish them, or do you use some kind of bug zapper, or maybe you're crafty enough to catch them.
There's one in my kitchen as we speak, so if I never post again, I starved to death.
