That's why I wouldn't do it...but the idea has crossed my mind.
I have one but I don't actually need it. There was a period of time where they thought I might need it...but I didn't...so I still have them.

The best thing is the special spray for wasps and bees it allows you to stand 20 or 30 feet away and spray and it is nearly instant in killing them.

When the whole lot of them sits out on the eave...it's pretty fun.

Wasps kill caterpillars and locusts and spiders so to me they do have a good use you just do not want to mess with them.Actually they paralyze the prey and then they take it to their nest and the larva slowly eat it. Every once in a while I happen across a wasp vs. spider fight pretty brutal one is going to win and one going die and it can go either way.I watched a Wolf Spider loose to a huge female wasp this summer I thought for sure the Wolf spider got her but she lost and the wasp managed to kit in one fatal hit then it just grabbed the paralyzed body and flew away.
Mosquitoes I guess they are around to spread disease to control populations of other animals also lots of other animals eat mosquitoes or their larva so they do serve some purpose.

I've heard that...but it doesn't mean i have to like wasps and mosquitos...
I had sooo many bug bites this summer from mosquitos. I hate them.
And we have so many spiders around here I don't think the wasps are doing much.

I wonder sometimes what is the purpose of humans to be honest we seem to be the most harmful species.It is a good thing other animals lack the cognitive ability to see us as the threat that we are.
