WASP!

[snowman6251]

A wasp entered my room. After a series of tactical retreats I managed to gain an opportunity to strike. The resilient little bastard took multiple hits to kill. The first one crippled his flight ability but he continued to move several hits after.

It was a tough battle. I was hoping to to get it to fly out of my room and then let someone else deal with it but he finally made a mistake in landing on a flat surface facing away from me. I struck with a shoe and proceeded to attack until I had a confirmed overkill. I then got enough toilet paper to pick it up without any chance of getting stung through it and flushed his corpse. I fear this is only the beginning. My home is no longer safe.

My friend was video chatting with me at the time and he was just laughing it up as I was screaming "FATALITY" and "FINISH HIM" at the weakened wasp. He was also laughing at my tactical retreats. Wasps are dangerous foes. If you attack and fail to successfully kill them then you've only enraged the beast. I made sure only to strike when he was unaware and then I blitzkrieged his ass.

Anyway how do you guys deal with wasps? I have tons of bugs in my room (mostly moths) and they can be dealt with by simply using a flyswatter but the wasp is a whole different story.

I run away.

On the off chance I have to kill it, I grab a bug swatter and hope I hit it. If I miss, I run and wait for it to forget about me. Then I attack again.

I flee as fast as possible and spray the room with a special anti-wasp spray I like to call deoderant.

Plus this reminds me of that one picture...

Spoiler: Warning: this swears a lot

I watch them fly around and don't bother them, while slightly moving away if they get too close. They tend to just fly out an open window if your not flailing around with shoes in your hands.

 

[El Poncho]

I keep track of them until they land then hit it with something, or I get my cat and she will spot it and eat it with one fatal attack.

 

[Zacharine]

Stay calm, and gently guide them to the nearest open window (from which they entered) and back to the outside world. They won't sting you as long as you don't do anything to annoy them, and it's not like they want to stay indoors.

Failing that...
Burn it with Fire! Suffer Not The Xeno To Live! In Nomine Deus Imperator, Mori! Mori! MORI! And throw away the carcass once done, clean up any bloodsplatter.

I don't really care about them. There was even this one time that a wasp was essentially a dinner-guest. It kept flying around our table at a resteraunt, so we gave it scrap pieces of crab. On a side note: even wasps are cute when they're nomming on something.

you let your sack drop?

No, that was mean, and you may have an allergy. I always use something with vinegar or bleach, like window cleaner. Spray it at their face or wings and it pretty much foams up so they can fly from being so wet and heavy. Then again, I never have to worry about bugs. I have a bunch of small spiders in my room, so they usually catch whtaever flies/crawls in. That and once a month,, I spray RAID in all the holes in my walls or wood i find, then caulk them, then place something like a board or playwood, or wallpaper of them.

I usually over-react and freak out about it. Then I find a shoe or something else to hit it with.

 

[Vhite]

I always have box of grandes near my desk in case some insect will occur.

RAID. A quick spray of that stuff cripples and kills damn near anything. Pulls wasps right out of the air.

 

[Jonluw]

I find the nest and spray it with insecticide. (I've annihilated two in the last few weeks. Which gave me a nice opportunity to get a look at the inner workings of a wasps nest. They smell like shit.)

If it's only one wasp I'll either just wave it away or swat it; depending on how annoying it is.

 

[Jedamethis]

I open the window and coax it out by flapping at it.
If that doesn't work, it 'disappears'

 

[Azure-Supernova]

They don't bother me, got stung by one once, but to be fair I had it coming because his friend was laying next to me dead. He must have panicked and took me to be the murderer, so I forgive the incident. I don't swat them, I don't kill them at all, I cup them up and plop them outside.

I just moved into a new house and I never had to deal with bugs in my old room. Maybe a spider once every few months. In this new house however its like someone loaded up a dumptruck filled with annoying shit with wings and dumped it into my window. Since then I've been battling off moths and other unknown flying bastards with my flyswatter. They're annoying but they die to the flyswatter.

There are so many of the little bastards getting through my closed, locked, windows that yesterday I saw a spider and didn't kill it in hopes he would help me out with this shit. This is highly uncharacteristic for me because if anything has more than 4 legs it needs to die.

Anyway I'm not allergic (at least to my knowledge) but I was stung as a small child and I've been scared of the things since. Outdoors when they start bugging me I usually just move but I'm not used to dealing with them indoors, let alone in my own damn room.

Me and my mates play 'Slap the Wasp'
well, i like to think they play, but its normally just me xD.

But yeah, only been stung once ages ago so i know im not allergic so meh im not too fussed:]

 

[Grayjack]

I smash it with my sandal, just like I do with every other insect.

 

[Jack_Uzi]

In most cases I leave insects alone if they offer me the same courtesy. I don't kill them, unless accidentally. Wasps and musquitos on the other hand, get to know the hypocrite inside of me and will be dispatched of asap.
I don't feel any regret as I do when I accidentally step on a snail. (I am a wuss in these cases).
Just a rolled up newspaper is enough to take a wasp out.

 

[LaughingAtlas]

I keep my window shut, a thousand tiny problems solved before they happen. In the event a flying insect does enter my home, I spray it with something (usually windex, probably burns a bit) to wet it's wings, kill it with a blunt object, and flush the little bastard. If it doesn't fly, I pick it up with a paper towel or something, crush it as smal as I can, and then flush the little bastard. If I'm not allowed to go poking around in bug nests, they get the same taste of violent xenophobia.
