Mowing the lawn like normal, I suddenly felt numerous bites or stings. I guess I stepped near a nest and came away with six stings. Annoying little things, aren’t they?

    Some years I’ll get stung on half a dozen occasions, other years not at all. Depends on how dry it gets and how agressive they are. Yesterday I was unloading a grain bin while I had about a dozen wasps going in and out of a nest built under the edge of the bin. They only got pissy when I started banging on the bin to get the last of the loose stuff to fall. I noped the fuck out of there before they got me.

    I have a spray jug loaded up with that cattle oiler stuff with permethrin. That ends them RFN.

      Same . I won’t get stung for 8 years then get stung on 3 separate occasions in the same summer.

      I was sitting in traffic with my window down and watched a yellow jacket fly from out in the distance right into the open window and sting me right under my left eye. What the fuck you stupid fucker 😡
