gg, thanks for eating a few pest insects during the growing season though, cuck.
I'm already seeing yellowfrickers flying around. I'm going to hunt down their nests, but I'm wondering if there's a passive way I can be killing these shitheads too. Like an effective trap.
Absolutely, most hardware stores including Home Depot and Lowes sell dedicated yellowjacket traps that work quite well. I bought 4 last year and by the end of the summer they were FULL of hornets. Got the job done and made my yard safer 10/10 would protect honeybees again.
We coexist. They built a nest on my roof last year. This was exceptionally convenient because not a single bird dared to make a ruckus on my roof that year.
They'd sometimes fly in when it was still dark outside and I had the lights on. Usually they'd be smart enough to leave again, although one got caught by a flypaper, freed herself, then got caught again, that time without being able to escape. I mercy killed her.
Wasn't stung a single time. They were curious about me a few times, but by and large it was mutually beneficial.
I hope I get another nest this year.
Gg, b***h.
Some species of wasps are kinda nice to have around. I actually have a little paper wasp nest in my backyard that I keep around. I also try to attract alot of Dragonflies. These yellow frickers always get removed though. Can't frickng stand them. I swear they will just sting you for no fricking reason. Atleast you have to piss off a paper wasp before it attacks you. I've even had them land on me without any issue. There's this specific one that's always chewing on a piece of bamboo I use to hold up an orange tree. It's pretty funny. It's always just like one wasp that does it to. You never see a bunch of them swarming the same thing.

If only.
Last Summer I woke up in the middle of the night to a swarm of these fricks in my bedroom.
Used the vacuum cleaner on them like it was a proton pack from Ghostbusters.
Curious to see if they show up again this year.
Sure, and lions prey on gazelle and zebra, but the lion doesn't always win that fight. Sometimes he gets his neck stomped on or gets his jaw broken by the zebra.
Sometimes when I buy bulk live ladybugs and let them loose I imagine myself as a ruthless Soviet commissar sending wave after wave of his own men at the aphid/mite menace as they are simultaneously eaten in turn by birds and mantises. And then when a full, healthy tomato crop is ready for harvest I can hear tiny, squeaky cries of "URAAAAA". My men have claimed victory over the invaders, at great cost. We will always remember their eternal and shining sacrifice.

Not all wasps are evil

kek, so what are wasps good for anyway?
Some are chill pollinators, and controllers of pests. Not all, mind you. They also look really cool.
they ARE pests
>buy glue trap
>catch one wasp in it
>caught wasp gets pissed and releases attack pheromones for other wasps
>they all get caught

What kind works best? I've never had any luck actually catching anything besides flies.

Wasps stand no chance against these terminators.
>I literally killed an entire hive by filling a bucket full of water and using a hose to knock the nest down into the bucket.

>*builds a nest in your yard*
>"this is mine now. fight me"
This is literally how humans have always operated.
Correct, and I will exterminate their entire bloodline just the same as if a human were to attempt to take what's mine.
Ok, I will.
im allied with the wasps
>fumigates your nest
cant handle a bit of smoke u lil shit?
You may have scary venom and no regard for your lives, but I'm a giant with a skull-computer the size of your whole house.
>introduces hundreds of praying mantises and centipedes into the yard
What now wasp homosexuals
Don’t wasps prey on both of those things too?
