Not for me but for the poor cable guy that reportedly got stung four times finding this yellow jacket nest

I treated the living fuck out of it with the power of it being my job to treat stinging in sickness and I have chemicals in a bee suit to do it

That's a damn good nest location though!

Obviously stayed hidden well enough to get that big lol

Not nitpicking, but is "stinging in sickness" supposed to be "stinging insects"?

Auto correct hates me

four times stings sounds like a brutal day for sure

I was actually attacked yesterday by a bunch of yellow jackets. Stung 22 times.

My professional opinion is to not do that

Thanks, will take this into consideration on my next encounters

Yeah if you ask nicely they NORMALLY leave you alone

I had an old car that I was getting rid of and I called the local junkyard to come pick it up.

I didn't know it was full of wasps...

Poor guy, it took a trip to walmart, 8 cans of spray, and we still got hit a handful of times getting it pulled onto the rollback.

Damn things were in every crack and crevice. All the doors, the mirrors, the trunk, and the engine bay.

I mowed over a yellow jacket nest once while wearing shorts. I was in the garage before I knew I was running.

I did that too. They were flying up my pant legs and everything. I took all of my clothes off and was running around the yard. Thankfully we don’t have neighbors.
