And now they've pollinated my shoe with their guts.
Seriously though, you're right, but when a bee comes into my home I catch and release, when a wasp invades it's search and destroy. While screaming terrified of course
I generally grab a cup or bowl and cover it if it's a hornet, but most wasps won't even sting me if I'm gentle while taking them outside, the vast majority of wasps are quite docile unless you bother their nests
right, hear me out though.
squish
edit: some wasps are chill though to be fair. Mud wasps are doppy little guys who just kinda bop around. They get the cup
Sounds like you've never seen a yellowjacket. Those things are super nasty by default, don't even have to be anywhere near their nests.
Had them living under my porch a while, used to sit out there and watch them buzz around
This is the way.
i use chemical weapons against wasps because they don't deserve the geneva convention. those anti-wasp sprays are the shit, you can blow them out of the sky with them
Just cup your hand and smack it out of the air, it'll be stunned for a bit and you can grab a wing a huck it somewhere else. You get to slap a wasp and you're not a random bug murderer.
You've just made me a more effective bug murderer, you fool
