I Bombed The Barn
I bombed my barn today. With insecticide bombs. I was in there moving some stuff around, and a wasp attacked me and stung me on the back of my neck.
That was an unforgivable act, and I moved to eradicate the trespassers. Six bug bombs later, and I was able to rearrange the barn in safety.
I'm really glad I'm not allergic!

Lucky you got hit only once. Yes, glad you're not allergic too, a lot of folks don't realize how serious a sting can be.

As one who is allergic, I salute you in the destruction of any wasp nests !!!

We have wasps in the house every spring. They must have made a nest somewhere in the framework when our house was built. They aren't aggressive and easy to kill with my bug zapper. Every year there seems to be fewer of them, but they still repopulate every year.

I bug bombed our sun porch. 2 years ago. I used the off brand bombs from dollar General. Mostly for stink bugs.2 years later, they're still dying. It makes me wonder what they put in their bug bombs.

I am allergic, so I bomb my deer stands every year in September. Usually means no bugs or spiders during the season.
Also, I spray my house, shed, and well house twice a year with an insecticide called Bifen/IT. Haven't had a wasp or mud dauber nest on any of them in three years. Planning to use it on my deer stands this year. Just mix it 1oz/gallon and spray. It works so well that I bought 6 four-ounce bottles of it, figuring that if it actually works, the government will probably outlaw it! 😉

I was putting up a motion light on the last year and stirred up a nest of Japanese hornets,the ones that look like a yellow jacket the size of your thumb.One got me just above the ear before I could get in the house.For a couple of days it felt like a pair of Vice Grips snapped on the side of my head.

When I was a kid.......we called those things Cicada Killers. 😀
Looooooong ago............the best of times!👍

Cicada killers are solitary creatures, and rarely sting. Buddy must have met something different.

We have a few of the REALLY big hornets around here. They like hanging around an old ragged oak tree on the edge of the yard- 45 yards from my back deck.

That is good stuff.
It gets Recluse spiders, scorpions, roaches, wasps, seems to keep termites away.
Keep kittys away until it dries. (just read the instructions)

Be as relentless in your attack of wasps as they are.

For some strange reason nunn, your post topic......"I Bombed The Barn", put a song in my head as I was reading it.
"I Fought The Law and The Law Won" 😲
I sure hope you have much better luck with your bee problem than that dumb songs lyrics proclaim!! 😁

I use Bifen insecticide on fire ants. 1 OZ. Bifen per gallon of water in a pump up sprayer and soak the mounds until it is saturated.No more fire ants.

I watched a YouTube about getting rid of ants inside. It was5 parts sugar and 1 part borax. Enough water to make a syrup. I tried it and it worked. So far. They were crawling all around the kitchen counter on the outside wall side. Not anymore. They dove into that stuff for hours then left. In the morning they were gone. So far. That's borax the laundry powder.

"I shot the sheriff" came to mind at first thought.
