Okay, so I found the wasp's nest and I sprayed it.
Unfortunately I did such a good job killing them all that the entrance is literally blocked with dead bodies. They can't get in or out. So they snuck out the back door to their hive. Guess where that is?

Yep. So half the downstairs is full of flying buzzing stinging insects. The half we use the most. D'oh.

6. I bought another thing of Raid, this time I'm goin' up in the attic to make sure I got the entire
nest. I think what happened is that I only got the outside part, but they had more nest hidden away inside the house.

I'm gonna wait until nighttime when they're asleep first though. No sense taking any more of a risk than I have to.

2. I hate wasps
There's something about them that is so alien, so ominous. They sort of hover in the air, and fly so slowly, and the shape of their bodies is creepy. Not like plump little bees, which I don't fear as much.

Don't know what it is about wasps. They just creep me out.

5. I, on the other hand, was attacked by an entire nest of bees as a child
but have never been stung by a wasp. So despite my current infestation, I'm more afraid of bees.

Ironically, I love honey and I brew mead. Go figure. :P

8. That was my worry when I had the exterminators come to end a wasp's nest on my deck.
I was so scared they would escape to the inside of my apartment. But it didn't happen. It just worked great.

Sorry for your experience. But they will all be dead soon as they cannot get food anymore eh?

I hate wasps.

9. Unfortunately these ones decided to make a home in a hole in the wall.
Which gave them access to the house.
