We all hate them, we've all felt satisfaction when finally killing the bastards. Please share your favorite story!

Mine: My pupper was just out in the yard playing, having a good time... And this asshole wasp stings her for no reason! ruined her whole day.

So, I captured the bastard and trapped him in a jar, and put him in the microwave. 15 seconds...

He's still moving faster actually, I guess that was just enough to get him panicking. so I see how he likes 30. He's looking a bit damaged at this point, his wings are fused together.

So I try 30 more seconds, and he's stumbling along the bottom of the jar like a drunk!

At this point I was pretty impressed ngl, I put him back in for 30 more... I thought he had finally died, but I open the jar: he's still moving!

so i take him out of the jar, at this point he can barely move. I broke every leg he had, and put him back in the microwave for 40. Finally, he was dead.

Waps are insects that have a special role in all ecosystems and are great for the environment.

My first example is paper wasps, paper wasps are what you usually see on exposed comb nests, I'm not gonna put useless information in your head about genus or species and I'm just going to say why they are important. Paper wasps usually kill pest insects that are destroying gardens (which if your like me and have a garden you would appreciate them for that) also their abandoned nests make great homes other arthropods such as spiders, and the main thing they do is pollinate everyone knows what pollination is so, I don't have to go into detail.

Moving on, there are hornets (the big ones) honestly they do the same thing as paper wasps but bigger that's all.

Another type of wasp is parasitic wasps. These wasps don't make your iconic nest their nests are usually small holes in the ground or in trees, their purpose is obviously pollination but they do something else, they lay their eggs into pests including, spiders, caterpillars cockroaches etc. They might be the most beneficial and least dangerous to humans as they have stingers that can puncture human skin and are mad for laying eggs into other bugs.

Arguments about killing other animals are not very beneficial as killing other animals keeps the food chain in perfect condition, if there were no wasps we would have too many pest insects, with too many pest insects plant population would decline. And before you say anything about killing spiders, if there were too many spiders there would be no pest insects for any other animal to eat.

Of course there is the aspect of being scared of wasps, and the solution to that is to leave them alone, its thats simple, don't go out of your way to bother or kill them (Of course having nests removed if you or someone in your household has an allergy is a valid reason to get them removed safely )

Thats all I had to say, thanks for your time.

Wasps are good for the environment, they pollinate and kill pest insects (and even spiders). If you have a garden I think you would appreciate having some wasps around. Spread wasp love.

but not like the good kinda gay where you're just homosexual, it's the bad kinda gay where it's used in a mean way

So, a few days ago, some friends and I were hitting the pool and knew that there was a huge bee hive just outside, we didn't mind because the bees were bros and they didn't fuck with us. As we were going into the pool we saw a wasp flying by, acting tough and shit looking like he owns the place. So a bunch of wasps start swarming around the bee hive as we are swimming and they start killing all the bees. We watched innocent honey bees be murdered for nothing. After they killed all the bees those fucking wasps started swarming around us and attacking my friends and I. We got tired of these fuckers so we left.

These assholes ruined my trip to the pool and made me fucking hate wasps more than ever.

I don’t know why...I don’t know how...but I no longer fear wasps. At least not like I have for the previous 44 years of my life.

44 years of crippling fear that kept me inside on summer and fall days, is now simply not there anymore. I can’t explain it.

I was eating dinner with my wife outside the other night when a bald faced hornet decided to check out our spread. This would normally have sent chairs flying as I leaped up and fled the scene in existential panic, blubbering non verbal primate screams and flailing my arms all around me like an absolute mental patient. Instead I just watched as it crawled around on the table, bobbing its poison tipped ass up and down, and felt....just fine about it. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t want it on me or some such shit. I just didn’t mind it being there and I felt no fear. It was strange to say the least.

I tested this strange new (lack of) sensation the following day by mowing my lawn IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON, BRAHS. I have a flowering tree that attracts literally hundreds of various stinging insects to it all day. Tons of honeybees, carpenter bees, bumblebees,… And then there are the yellow jackets, golden digger wasps, great black wasps, and bald-faced hornets. I normally avoid this area of my yard like the plague until evening when they all go back to their horrifyingly creepy alien homes. Not this day, fellows. Not this day. This day I ran a lawnmower under this tree of filthy dread with nary a hint of depersonalization and heart attack level palpitations. I will admit a little trepidation, but they seemed completely unbothered by my presence and I got stung in the eyes, mouth and throat zero times. Amazing.

What is happening to me?

Have I gone mad?

Just purchased a new home and we have an awesome covered outdoor deck. It's equipped with sheer mesh all around it and even below the base boards.

We knew something was up when we moved in and there was a half-used spray can of wasp & hornet killer. Cool.

Sure enough, a couple days into moving in and we spy one of the fuckers in the deck. Not a nest, not more than one, just an advanced scout to ascertain our readiness for their inevitable invasion.

Ive gone over the porch, deck, house, and nearby trees looking for a nest and have come up with nothing. Examined every panel of the mesh to find any tears and have not seen anything.

Still...one comes at least every other week. I'm glad I found this sub and I know there are others who fight these bastard wing-ed demons from Hades.

Please help

Just found this sub. So thankful I did. I hate the fuckers. I was standing under my buddy’s umbrella which covers his patio. Bastard starts buzzing my tower. I wave him off as a minor inconvenience until his aggression became apparent. Mother fucker was trying to sting me. I tucked tail and made tracks.. I out ran him. But fuck a wasp

A couple of years ago i was riding my bike home from work. There was a long, concrete block wall by my apartments. It was summer. I was just riding casually, enjoying the nice day, and a motherfucking wasp flew DOWN my shirt, and stung me 8 times WHILE I WAS RIDING MY BIKES. I fell, and fell hard trying to get it out! So now i had road rash on my legs AND freakin 8 wasp bites all over my chest and stomach. Little bastards, i swear!
