So there’s a hornet (or yellow-jacket I really don’t know)hibernating on the bathroom drape.It was on the counter just next to the sink(which posed a slight problem when I shaved in the morning)I came home from work one day and it crawled (I’m guessing) to the drape.Which relieved me because I was wondering as to how to relocate it.
It’s been there (I noticed it) for maybe two weeks. Once in a while one of its legs twitches as if it’s dreaming (yes I know that it isn’t).And if I accidentally splash is with a drop of water its wings,legs,antennea all spread out as if it’s ready to launch.It really is a marvel of nature.I was gonna vacuum it when I first saw it until I looked at it closer and realized how cool it looked. Now I ask you, How am I sposed to execute such a cool-ass creature?This from a guy who smashed one not more than a month ago because it stung me.(it was in my bed)
If you remind youself that that little bastard wouldn’t hesitate to sting you and eat you if it could, things might go a bit easier. Remember, it’s us versus them.
Hmm I didnt realize that they were carnivores.And I dont kill* unless something threatens my (family) life.And for that I have a Little friend with a 40, 30, and two 5 round magazines.I just happen to think the lil fellas cool and I aint a scared of it.

*Or, of course, unless it stings,bites,or looks real tasty :eek:
All you need is a juice glass and one of those damn magazine inserts.
Cover the wasp with the glass. Slip the insert underneath. Turn the glass over, using the insert as the top. Take whole shebang to a door/window. Remove the insert/top, and send wasp on his/her way.
Wait! What would you do if the awakening vespid was on the dashboard of your car and you were pinned by the legs following a collision with a tree? The car is on fire and you only have a gun and a beaker of the Hitler chemical! What now?
Since you said you had one in your bed a couple weeks ago, methinks you may have a bigger problem on your hands. I’d be on a search and destroy mission to take out every last one of those little fuck-faced hornets. After all, that’s what they’re planning for you!
I have the button that turns on the bat-signal and the button that calls the ambulance just in case: “I’ve fallen and can’t get up!”
Although the last time I pushed the ambulance button I overheard one of the paramedics say: "DAMN LOOK AT HIS FACE,AAUGH! "
Even though I only broke my leg…asshole
This trogolodyte only knows how to use his AK-47(and a really big club similar to the one bam-bam carries) .And considering the kinetic energy of the 7.62X39 (KE = ½mass x velocity2 (I’ll run the numbers later,perhaps)) I think that if I went on a hornet killing spree the local “Rosco Pete Coltrain” would prolly call S.W.A.T..
That gives my an idea! If I only use the spray adhesive the hornets would stick to the wall, they couldn’t leave.Then I’d finally have friends to talk to! I wouldnt have to leave the house!
Thanks I’m off to home depot.I just hope the home depot folks don’t ask any questions.
A caveat: yellowjackets and true hornets have a behavior called “alarm escalation”, in which a dying hornet release a pheromone that can send the whole nest into a frenzy of attacking. It’s best not to kill one especially if you don’t know where the rest are. If your DO kill one, just leave the area. I sure wouldn’t crush one in my house.
