WASP!

I have a drop ceiling. Supposedly, wasps can get in through them at any time. Which has happened twice. Having a phobia of wasps, the first time one got in I panicked and ran off. The second time, it wasn't as big of a deal. They usually leave very quickly. As for battling them, I would set them on fire.
Well, I was mowing the lawn the other day and felt a really bad sharp sting out of no where in my... swimsuit area. It totally forgot about it.
But today when I go to take a shower, sure enough there's a bigass red mark dangerously close to my manlyhood.
I still have no fucking clue how this happened.

Sorry, couldn't resist. XD
OT: Anyways, I try to shoooo it away with the flyswatter. If it doesn't work, I eliminate it.
When I was very young, I was afraid of a Bee on the back porch. It started flying towards me, and I went to go inside to escape. But the door was locked. I knocked on it, so my dad would let me in, and I watched the bee fly closer and closer. In panic, I knocked louder and louder. Then, my hand broke through the glass of the door, shredding my hand to the point where I had to go to the emergency room. And that's why to this day, I have a giant scar.
Well, I once caught one with my hand (not realising it was a wasp - saw it out the corner of my I, thought it was a fly, and caught it because I thought that's cool), and squashed it. Didn't even manage to sting me.
I AM INVINCIBLE
Just kidding, that never happened.
Well, I usually go after them with something like shoes - overkill is the only option. Or ignore them until they die from fear.

Since Wasp venom is my only significant allergy you can guess what I do when I see one: STEER THE FUCK CLEAR.
I can tell when the little demons are around, and can identify one in a lineup against its imitators (mostly sawflies and some bee variants).
Oh, and it's active breeding season (if you can call it that) for my local Cicada Killers...
Skippie-Kae-Yay.

I work for a school district during the summers, and we have lots of wasps/hornets to deal with.
I kill them with the stockpiles of bug spray, bug foam, bug residue that the state pays for. With great revelry do I lay them low.
PS... sometimes I wonder how awesome it is that I get paid for doing it too... Anyway!

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.carpathic said:
Yeah, I just RAID it unless I'm in the basement, given that the RAID is on the top floor of my house (3 floors btw). In that case I just go to the ground floor, there's nothing really special in the basement anyway.RollForInitiative said:

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.
It really depends on where I have encountered the monster. In a confined location, like my house? I attack until it is dead or I am. Outside, in the middle of a field or forest? I run like hell. Don't want to risk signaling the horde swarm that I offended their angry ambassador.
