    Wasp spray trigger on drone would be badass.

    I would always just spray them at night when they are in and calmer. Never had an issue.

    Im thinking about leaving them alone unless they bother us or the neighbors. Could be good to have a big nest in the tree for the next few years

    Yeah if it's in a tree a tiger torch can easily end your whole house.

    Ants. Holy shit, ants! There was an anthill out front, so I put an icing sugar/borax mixture out and they were gone soon after. Then some kid came door-to-door with a pest control plan. I declined. Next week trying to paint the fence, I thought they might carry me away. Hmm maybe saleskid released a few thousand and will be back....
    I haven't noticed the wasps... but ants... man do I relate to this 100%.

    I feel like I've tackled at least 10 ant hills throughout the front and back yard this year.

    Living in Strathmore I'll say I haven't seen any increase in wasps or such.. but I do see a lot more butterflies.

    But the one thing I'll say is that if you think you have an ant problem come out here.

    Pretty sure this City was colonized on a damn ants nest from hell.

    I had this scenario happen a few weeks ago. Ended up with two different kinds of ants.

    “Don’t go out in the middle of the night and think about [using] spray foam or caulking or whatever,” Martin said. “We’ve had a couple calls this week already with people sealing the wasps in their house and waking up overnight with wasps chewing through their ceiling.”

    Did this exact thing few years back but instead they started invading the house and the dead wasps were piling up everywhere.
    Got an exterminator in and found this in the basement joints.

    I've never seen more black flies and fruitflies in the 7 years I've been in my house than we have this year.

    Calgary man was taken to hospital with serious burns after attempting to get rid of a wasp nest with gasoline.

    This thread stresses me out. I'm allergic to wasps, and this is my nightmare.
