<description><![CDATA[Doubledee32 posted : Reading these posts remind me of when I was a child. I stayed the summers with my Grand-parents in South Carolina and used to take old broom sticks hurl them at the nests and Haul A** my Grandmother God rest her sweet soul would tell me that if I didn't quit one day the Wasps would get me but being the young stubborn guy I was I didn't heed her advice. So one hot day I saw a "HUGE" nest hurled my old broom stick and ran and lo and behold a few of those rascals got me on the left side of my face just below my eye-Well that was it for me Never again did I do the broomstick trick!! Anyway if you have as many as you say you do I'd hire a professional who knows how to get rid of them and let him take care of it. Many companies won't charge you again if those rascals come back again.]]></description>

I decided to be a nice guy and squirt it with a water pistol to get it off the porch. The little shit proceeded to fly into my shirt. I got stung once in the neck and once on my upper back before I got a hold of him on the ground via a glass cup. Off came the wings, off came the legs, off came the antenna then it was the micowave for him. Lesson learned and forgotten upon death.<br><br>All I got out of the stung was just a small bump in both spots. Hurt like hell tho.
