    for the past two months, i've been killing wasps from 3 nests in my little balcony of my apartment. That wasp and hornet Raid is awesome. You can spray them in mid-air and watch them fall. Unfortunately, I've been too lazy to knock their nests down after I kill them, so new ones move in. Now I cant grill anymore cause there is a huge nest underneath my bbq grill and its too low to the ground to spray them while I'm hiding behind the door.

    tip of the week: wait until evening when they're dormant. then spray the nest...they just fall out on the ground dead. MWAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!!!

    I usually just stand still and wait for them fackers to move on, they dont mess with me, i wont mess with them but since were sharing stories here are my two.

    When i was younger like 11 or so, i was at that six flags in san antonio i think, well i get to yawning, still waking up, and bam one flies right into my mouth and in one motion i spit it out and slap it to the ground for the foot smash, **** was so cash, needless to say i was wide awake after.

    2nd story, these bastards really do communicate with each other, they set me up smooth as butter, i was out at my ex's back in the day, she lived in the sticks, anyway i walk into the living room and theres one flying in the kitchen so i grab the raid and start creeping up on it and all of a sudden right when im about to spray it another one lands on my neck like "game over" hahaha i went into the matrix, picture one of those slow jumping on the ground while shooting scenes, this was that except i was spraying everywhere. we had a game of cat and mouse but after about 30 min. i killed em.

    only been stung by bees when i was little. never been stung by wasps

    Oh man, here's one. Earlier this summer I swept off my back porch and left the broom outside. Fast forward to Monday morning, when I'm driving to work, my wife calls me screaming at the top of her lungs. I swear I almost had a heart attack- I thought our kid was dead or there was someone raping her.

    Nope....she had brought the broom in and there were three yellowjackets camped out in the bristles. When she started sweeping she pissed them off and they came out swinging.

    Needless to say I had a good laugh at her expense. :grin: :grin: :grin:

    (she killed them all)

    I killed a yellowjacket by my fireplace last night with one of these.

    These work great on slower flying insects like wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, mosquiotoes, etc. Not so great on quick movers like flies and such.

    Electric fly swatter. Pop in 2 AA batteries and you're good to go. It doesn't shock skin so kids love to play with it too. :grin:
