Wasp sting home remedies?

I guess she isn't able to get a combat medal,though.Injuries came before enlisting.
Maybe as a bonus for signing up?

 

In order to get a medal she'd have to handle the spray can herself, and not let her husband do it... though given the injury, I suppose we can make an exception. LOL

 

Just the second one.Now in that area, that can really HURT.

 

How about a choice between these as a reward?

 

I personally like the other one. Nobody is going to want to cut you off.

 

I want the BMW Tank Turret gun!! :guns

Ahem, for the wasps, of course... :-o

 

Oh! My bright yellow plastic trap is working great! The four wasps that came back to try and rebuild the nest were lured by the sweet smells of delicious food, went in the trap and now they are in there dying...! Muahaha.

I have one in the back yard as well, and they are frighteningly effective. I heartily recommend them as a follow-up to generous spraying.

What BMW?
Take another look at the front on the grille.Looks like a VW to my old eyes.

 

You know, now that I look at the bigger picture instead of the thumbnail, it does... LOL

 

:-D
Welcome aboard Laura! Hope your leg and toe is feeling better




:guns:guns:guns

 

ow, good thing youll get some revenge on them tonight. I had to spray twice before i killed them all. should get one of those traps like mimz has too.

 

If you haven't tried hrlow's bakingsoda remedy yet, I highly recommend it. It really worked, especially when it was fresh out of the fridge and nice and cool.

THEY'RE BACK!!! AAAARRRRGH!!! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-violent069.gif

To say that I am unhappy about this is a gross understatement. I got an email from The Guy while I was at work today, telling me he found another wasp nest in our back yard and he wanted me to get rid of it tonight. I'm of course happy to do that, so when I came home we went out in the backyard and he pointed out the nest for me. It is high up on the house wall, just where the wall meets the roof.

And there's five of them. Two of them are as big as the one I posted pictures of.

The Guy is not happy with having these nests in the back yard, and as for me I am in full massacre-mode again.

Foolish little wasps, they think that by building their nest where I can't reach it they are safe... Little do they know that the Ultra-Kill Wasp and Hornet Killer also can serve as a sniper... The spray has a 20-foot range if the label on it speaks the truth. My roof is a lot closer than 20 feet.

Take those suckers out.
They can't begin to know the trouble they're in.

 

Take them out, Mimsy, all of them! Yeah, they are messing with the wrong one! Might want to give them an extra shot tonight. Just to be sure:guns Don't they know, this means WAR? Don't leave any of them left to populate your neighborhood again... http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-violent010.gif they are not welcome....http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-violent018.gif

 

TeeCee, didn't know you were so blood hungry.rolleyes
Explains why your friends can't get along.:-D

 

Oh, hrlow, did I fail to mention I also hunt? Bear and deer are my favorite!! :-D Oh, yeah, for sure!

 

I got four of the five! :guns And yes, the can of Ultra-Kill does have range. Lots of range. I believe the 20-feet claim now.

The fifth is so high up on the wall (the house has a second floor over half the first floor, and it's up on that part) that I needed to borrow a ladder to get close enough to snipe it. I have the ladder now... I will snipe that nest tonight!

Hows it going on the front lines?

 

For the record, standing on top of a step ladder and shooting Ultra-Kill on a wasp nest 15+ feet away is a LOT of fun! LOL

I found ANOTHER nest! The yellow devils are everywhere! :guns

The other nest was hiding in the newspaper hole underneath the mailbox. I emptied the second half of my spray can into the newspaper hole, right on the nest. This weekend, I will go over the entire front yard, and the entire back yard. I will find them all, and I will kill them all.

 

Hey Mimsy found this don't know if it will work but I have seen some around in some yards. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Wasp-Trap and or this one that keeps fling insects away I found . RE: Keeping Wasps Away From Your Home
By Heather (Guest Post)
I know this sounds crazy--but bear with me! To keep ALL flying insects (flies, wasps, etc.) away, take a plastic sandwich bag and place a penny inside it. Fill the bag with water. Use some clothespins to attach the bag to a clothes hanger and hang around your porches, doors, windows and patios. This works for any insects that have "compound eyes". Their eyes trick them into thinking that the bag is a spider's web, and the penny looks like a spider sitting in the web. My husband and I do this every summer, and it is rare that we have flies or other flying insects in or around our house!
Just a shot.

 

Here you go.

 

My wasp-killing prowess is becoming legendary... My sister-in-law emailed me and asked if I would mind helping her get rid of a nest she has close to her front door. LOL

She has the same kinds of allergies as The Guy does (by virtue of them being siblings) so I don't blame her for not wanting to provoke an attack from them... I told her I'd come over with a can of Ultra-Kill tomorrow night and nuke them. :guns

hrlow, that is a AWESOME poster! And very fitting for dealing with wasps.

 

Hoped you might like it.

 

Another "plaything" for your little pets.

 

Here are my latest trophies! Even got the little buggers' eggs.. Those wasps aren't alive... They are dead as a doornail.. This nest was out by my loft..NOT a good place as they have found out! :-D
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z185/sheltysoo/MyLatestTrophy.jpg

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z185/sheltysoo/Nooneleftalive.jpg This is the eggs comb that fell out this morning.... Yup, left no one alive :-D

 

LOL Laura, I didn't dissect the nest, that egg comb fell out of the bottom of it this morning... :-D We sprayed it GOOD with hornet spray, and it just wiped them out.... Even the eggs.... No survivors roflmao! Nah, no icky at all.... The nest is a paper nest made by the wasps, that chew fence posts and wood... The nest itself is cool! It was on a limb by my loft, and just kept getting heavier, and heavier, until I could get my 25 foot shot of hornet spray to them :-D

Now, I will let it air out good, and add it to my collection! :major

 

And thanks to that, it absorbs the spray very well... their very home becomes a death trap! :guns

TeeCee, your new trophy is most impressive. I salute your prowess and wasp-killing skill! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-rpg006.gif

 

Thank you Mimsy! Just practice, I never leave one alive either! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-stargate009.gif
Yes, very nice trophy too... I like to keep them for a nice reminder :guns

 

Here is a pic of my Trophies.... Mimsy, you simply must start to collect them! :-D Sorry for the HUGE pic, but I had to get them ALL in one shot! :-D
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z185/sheltysoo/Trophies.jpg

 

That bear skull did look pretty bare.:-D
That large one must have had quite a few in residence at one time.

 

Hi hrlow2, that large one was over our garden on a tree branch.... Yes, there sure was a pile of them on the ground the next morning! :-D I don't know what they do in the winter... Will have to search that and find out...

Yeah, the bear scull is sort of "bare"! When they do the taxidermy, they don't use them anyway.... Kinda nice touch to the "Trophies"....

 

Well I've got to chime in on this subject, don't post much here but I've got a decent solution. Try using a paste of aspirin after removing the stinger. Had some problems with the neighbors black hornet nest a couple of weeks ago. The little b*****ds dared to sting me not once but twice. The aspirin paste took the swelling down within hours. By the next day all I had left was two little red spots where the stingers punctured my hide with zero swelling. But then again I provoked them by knocking down their nest. Still don't mess with me you flying heathens. And the nest was no where as large as the other "collectors" was. Darned little heathens built the nest in about a week and a half since last mowing...

 

Hi Walter L. Preston, Next time, spray them at night, with wasp/hornet spray, and the next morning, you will have a pile of dead hornets :-D These "Trophies" of mine, are from paper wasps, and they can sting too, but not if I get to them first LOL They don't fly after dark, so you can safely spray them good... Most cans have a good 20-25 foot reach anyway.... Zap them before they Zap you! Then, you will have trophies too!

 

I was going to, but it was just so ugly...

Walter, TeeCee is right. Never go after the vicious stinger insects in daylight. Sneak up on them at night, right after sunset where the last light still makes it possible for you to see, but it's too dark for them to fly. That's when they are vulnerable, that's when you get them. Trust me. I'm an expert.
