Paul, I hope you are well, and not allergic to the little beast!

You sure do know how to tell a story my friend!! All the visuals one gets while reading your stories are priceless!:)

 

[Paul B]

Thanks I am well, if not a litle swolen in places. Today I will be lounging in the water behind my boat so I think the salt water along with numerous amphipods will sooth me. That and wine. A lot of wine. Maybe a Supermodel. I wonder if there are any out of work Supermodels that want to rub ointment on my wasp stings. Probably not. If any Supermodels are on here, would you like to come boating today? Bring:faint2: Benedryl.

Hahahaha that's too much!

Use a meat tenderizer paste to help with the stings. You take meat tenderizer and add a little bit of water to make it into a paste, put it on where you got stung and the stuff works like magic!

Great story, I'm battling a big beehive in my tree right now. I through a baseball at it (from the door to run back inside and hide) the thing didn't even budge! I'm gonna go Rambo on it tonight!

Coat the inside of the wall with Seven dust. If there are any left alive this will take care if them. They will get it on them as they craw around. Once ingested it attacks there nervous system and they will die.

I like to use house hold ammonia on bee stings.

 

[revsgirl]

Oh my goodness!! I thought I had it bad!! :neutral:

 

[mainereefer]

talk about gettin it done.

I have been in construction for 16 years most of that roofing. I know exactly where you are coming from

for bee stings use hand sanitizer

Luckily I have meat tenderizer on the boat for jellyfish stings.

OK, I have the meat tenderizer and I mixed it with Seven dust,( I also added a little insulation from inside my wall)
Then I took a shot of ammonia and mixed it with root beer.
I then rubbed hand sanitizer all around the rim of a glass and poured in the tenderizer, Seven, wall insulation ,ammonia and root beer, put it in the blender and rubbed it under my tongue so now I have no more nervous system and i will probably die.
Did I do everything correctly? :rain:
Or do I make the wasps drink this?

U DA MAN PAUL! lol. YOU ARE A MANLY MAN! I had 2 yellow jackets fly down my shirt in high school. 7 stings later and swollen in places that's not supposed to be swollen...........I know exactly what u went thru. Beers and wine and saltwater will do the trick for healing quick!

:attention:

That is correct and it worked perfectly. One guy on my boat brought a wine cooler, a pink wine cooler and he wanted me to drink that. Imagine a Manly Man drinking a pink wine cooler. I mean, "Really".
He said his wife got it for him but definately not a Manly Man thing to do. KInd of Sisified if you ask me and I don't do Sissy very well. The only way I would drink that is if I first mixed it with a little steel wool and guzzle it out of an old Oldsmobile carburetor to make it into a Man drink.

I had 2 yellow jackets fly down my shirt in high school

I had two of them fly down my pants once, I liked it so much I started to go to school wearing my pants like home boys, around my knees and rubbing honey on my socks to attract bees. But the principal frowned on that sort of thing.

This is how I cure just about everything and I am going out again today just to make sure there is no more wine left, Oh I mean, just make sure that I am completely cured. That is not me in the picture, I am taking it. But my wife is in red. The small boat is mine. I only bought it for times like this when I get stung by wasps. So it's a medical thing and I am trying to deduct it as a medical expense. For some reason my insurance company disagrees with me on this. I guess they never experienced getting stung by tatooed, leather jacket wearing wasps. But I will re submit it.

Paul definitly think you missed your calling as a story teller, all I could think while reading this is why in the world did you continue to stay in there trying to vacuum those little suckers up while being stung. Would have been running for that bug bomb much sooner.

While back I had wasps build a nest in the side mirror of my car while I had been overseas for the summer. Did not know about it until I was driving my car and all of a sudden I had a wasp fly in the car with me. A can of bug spray and a hose later on that night took care of those little devils. Definitly no where near the experience that you had that's for sure.

Our electricians often climb water towers. You should see what they find living up there. Many bee nests but also parrots that have escaped.

 

[Steelerfan747]

Pics of what? The tiny leather jackets that are now strewn all over the carpet?
Little bits of broken antlers?
Unmentionable parts of me that are now swollen that are not meant to be swollen?
Melted parts of the carpet where the 33 year old wasp spray pooled on it?
Or the gate to the nest that I will bring to the scrap yard when the swelling goes down?
(it was hard to remove with the door bell wires and all)

Yes pics of all of the above. I thought that was obvious, lol

This was in my house and I figured if I put the vacuum down, there would be millions in my house. I didn't realize that so many got out and that they had that good of an eyesight. I figured with those tiny little eyes and those antenna obstructing their vision, how good could their aim be? I was partially correct because I think there was 5 or 6 of them that failed to sting me, I showed them.

I was an electrician for 40 years in Manhattan. I know what is up there. I once had to go into the water tower on the Plaza hotel to install float switches. There were so many dead pidgeons that I could hardly get into the thing, and that was "in" the water, forget about the dead ones outside the tank in the space in between the little enclosure and the tank. That tank fed the penthouse which rented for $17,000.00 a night.
The pidgeon water was freel like the little soaps.
Then I did a lot of work on the antenna of the Empire State building, the wasps in there were not just the size of hawks, they were hawks.
You know those gargoyles you see around many of the Manhattan buildings, the ones with the wings, some of them are not cement, if you know what I mean.:jaw:

OK, I thought this was over. Today I go upstairs to patch that hole in the wall. So I bring my big shop vac, a ladder, wasp spray (just to be sure) some calking for the outside, some tools and plaster. So I remove the wasp spray soaked paper towels that I had stuffed in the hole to keep any new creatures from coming in and at the same time I am holding the shop vac hose up to the hole so I can catch any loose plaster.
This is not one of those Sissy shop vacs that is good for picking up belly button lint, this one will suck the brains out of your head through your nose from across the street.
So I take out the paper and I couldn't believe it, there seemed to be more wasps than there was two days ago when I killed hundreds of them.
They were wading through the puddle of wasp spray like it was "Glade air freshener"
(I wonder where they got those tiny boots?)
No really, you can't make this stuff up. But this time I was prepared, this vacuum was sucking them out from 6" away. They didn't know what was happening. The only problem was that the hole to the outside was still open and as soon as I sucked them in, more came in from outside. So I was alternating spraying wasp spray and sucking at the same time, spray, suck, spray, suck etc.
I also found out what that means on the side of the wasp spray can where it says Kills on Contact" I thought that meant, it kills the wasps when it contacts them, but I think it really means that it kills the wasps after the wasp contacts you. They don't really die that fast, Dying the next day is not exactly the time frame I had in mind.
So I finally eliminate most of the creatures and I make the hole in the wall larger so I have good sheetrock to patch. I kept cutting bigger and bigger because I found their hive. They didn't just have a hive in my wall, they were turning my house into a hive. This thing was huge and it was filled with babies. So I kept sucking them out until I got to good insulation. I wonder what they did with all the insulation that used to be in the wall?
Then I stuck in new insulation that I also soaked with wasp spray
(although I think they were using it for cologne) and I calked the outside.
I had to hold the vacuum with me outside because they kept coming back trying to get back into the nest from outside.
So I am done, at least I thought so and I start to go downstairs but I figure let me go and check on my tomato plants on the upstairs deck which is off the bedroom on the opposite side of the house from the wasps.
On the way out I notice that the wall next to that air conditioner is wet. Great. I don't go up there much and everytime I go, it is a surprise. So I go outside to see where the hole is that is letting the water in and guess what I find?
Yep, wasps. I mean, are they freekin kidding me. This time they are "in" the air conditioner that has not been turned on in over 3 years.
Luckily for me, I have the wasp spray in my hand because I was bringing it downstairs. So I spray the coil in the AC and it happened. I got flashbacks from the other day. Wasps are all around me and I think they heard what happened to their cousins and I didn't have the vacuumin my hand so I had to run. A few minutes later I put on my sneakers so they wouldn't hear me and I snuck out armed with more wasp spray, the kind they sell to Sissies because it shoots like 2 football fields away. My deck isn't that big so I was fairly close and like I said this stuff kills on contact, after they contact me so i had to bob and weave but I didn't get stung.
They were mad before but now they just wanted revenge.
I ran inside and quickly shut the screen door. They were crashing into the screen making a horrible noise so I closed the glass door, then I turned on the air conditioner and as soon as I did, I could hear "Ping, ping, bing ding" Yes they were flying into the fan and getting thrown all over the inside of the AC unit. There were wings, abdomins, tiny chains, little broken bottles, flying all over the place, these guys were preparing for war.
But they didn't know who they were dealing with. This reefer Geezer now has wasp experience.
The next time I go up there I will probably find snakes, but I do have to go again to remove the wet sheetrock and calk the AC :rain:
