WASP!

[dietpeachsnapple]

I generally swat at them.

I also remember that they are really just half-blind little sugar addicts who are voracious insectivores (favoured prey include mosquitoes and houseflies). I don't like to kill them, just put whatever they are really interested in, elsewhere shoo them away.

Then they will continue to eat bugs, which makes me happy.

The world is a many wondered place.

I made a half-hearted similar argument to a friend, who told me that HE can kill these other insects just as easily, if not better.

Well perhaps he is just less lazy (or less thoughtful) than you and I?

It seems a waste to go after a wasp really. Like using a strategic ICBM with a MIRV warhead to take out Bin Laden. Ultimately satisfying, but probably overkill.

"Ultimately satisfying" Yes, cathartic even.

"probably overkill" Very likely why I consider it cathartic.

And cease to underestimate wasps, would you! *shakefist*

They have a decidedly unfair tactical advantage. Namely: numbers, and flight.

That I might bring a compound to the game that attacks their nervous system, seems entirely reasonable. Alternatively, I must qualify that my job requires me to disturb these insects where they live, not they where I.

I stand very still until they're far away enough for me to run out and scream for back-up. I'm generally quite incapable of killing anything outside of a game. Besides, wasps freak me out.

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.

It takes some real talent in writing to describe "A wasp got in my room while i was chatting with my friend,I ran away like a pussy an hit it multiple times because I am really weak,so how do yoou guys take care of wasps" in such a way that it doesn't sound embarasingly stupid (not that you are a weak pussy that is)
To me there is only one way to take care of wasps *fatality* xD

Electric fly-swatter. That is all.

I also kill flies with nuclear weapons.
