Can of Raid usually does the trick. But they just....keep...coming....BACK!

I posted two pictures back in July of when I got stung...when my one ear was like 3 times bigger than the other.

Anyway you really do not want to get stung by a wasp because unlike bees wasps can keep stinging and they also bend into a "U" shape so they can garb what ever they are stinging and also bite with the mandibles.Which I am sure makes the intake of the venom more likely and it also hurts.
Which makes them perfect for practical jokes...or if you just really don't like somebody.

I wouldn't let it loose in somebody's car...but there are other things you can do with a wasp to scare somebody.

I have been stung by a wasp a few times in my day they hurt even if you are not allergic.

And they sting when you least expect it...and for me, at first you don't know what the hell has got you...but then it immediately starts hurting like you (in my case) lost an ear.

Not allergic to them...but I hate them. Managed to escape getting stung most of my life...only been stung a couple times...which is surprising considering how many of them are around. I don't attract wasps...I attract mosquitoes.

I think Wasps and Mosquitoes are the two of the most useless animals on earth.
