How do you deal with wasps in your house?

[Drake the Dragonheart]

They breathe through pores on the legs. tire sealant clogs those pores and the suffocate almost immediately.
or there is always fire. lots and lots of fire. KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Also, you should probably never go to Japan if you have a phobia of regular sized wasps:

This is the best thing to catch wasps. I don't know if it's available in your country but you can catch as many of them as there is room in this thing. Or you can also make one yourself using some bottles.

I bet there's a nest in your roof or something. Maybe a bug bomb might work? Set one off, chuck it in the roof and kill every damn insect up there!

My parents once woke up to the roof being covered by baby spiders. Immediately set off a bug bomb in the roof.

I hate wasps and bees. Bumblebees not so much, actually.

Living out in the country means those pesky stingers will bother you in the summer for sure.
Hence why I never ever eat outdoors. Screw picnics and barbecues.

I just watch them...intensely. aaand wait. and wait.
Until they get drawn to a window or door. I then sneak up gently and quickly open it up and watch them fly out.
For the most part.

Spiders, I catch in a plastic coca-cola bottle and drop outside the window.

I was never much bothered by giant bumblebees before we had a freak incident. One got into the house and was squished by a sliding glass door, then it was like something out of a horror movie. Tons of giant bumblebees started attacking the back door making thud sounds and they were like all swarming the house trying to get inside. It was so surreal, I didn't think Bumble bees behaved that way, so I call parks and wildlife and asked them about it and they said that until recently they had never heard of bumble bees doing that, but they may be evolving to become more aggressive as a result of environment loss. It was crazy, felt like the birds horror movies but with Bumble bees. This actually went on for hours. I was afraid they were going to find a way into the house. They were acting more like Africanized Honeybees than Bumblebees. ( Yes, I am sure they were actual bumblebees, I know the differences very well.)

We always had a ton of yellowjacket wasps getting into the house growing up, but I usually just opened the doors and herded them with a broom or something to encourage them to go out. You can knock down the next while they are sleeping if you can find it or make a trap to catch them as well:

They sell premade wasp traps as well, but those vary by area.
I do not really like to use traps myself, as you may catch honeybees, and we need all of those we can get.

Yikes, sounds quite scary and definitely very odd indeed.

Now that I think about it, it was ages since I last saw any amount of bumblebees larger than a single solitary individual buzzing around. Their decline has affected a lot of flora and the meager (and late) amount of tree fruits this year stand testament to that fact.

Too bad one can't cheer at the reduced collective of bees/wasps while also mourn the passing of the bumblebees.
