Motherfucking wasps

[Casey]

I have a wasp problem at my apartment. Fuck. What do I do?

It's been going on for a few weeks, I mean I must have had at least 150 of them in here over the course of a month. What's strange is that they all seem to be dying relatively quickly once they get in here, and I'm having as many live ones buzzing around as I am finding dead ones on the floor when I return home from work, etc.

I thought it was calming down, so I haven't done anything about it, but yesterday when I got back there was a dead one on my fucking bed and another 2 on the windowsill above my bed, and another one on the pile of books on the floor by my bed. So I figure this has gone too fucking far. Unfortunately it was too late to do anything about it so I said fuck it I'm going to bed.

6.30AM I feel something hit my arm with a BUZZZZ!!!!!!! I fuckin yelled really loud and jumped the fuck up and ran to the bathroom lol. Then I found the bastard buzzing around my bedroom light and zapped him with the spray.

Im not fucking putting up with this shit.

You have to buy some kit, but it's from the UK. I figure cheaper than an exterminator.

Thanks for the link man, I'll have a look at that and see if they can help. Yeah I looked in the Yellow Pages and called a number about a week ago....they said just the call out charge alone for the exterminator would be like £30 and the work could cost up to £100.....

This is getting fucking ridiculous, there was a half dead one spluttering around on the floor just now right in front of my computer. I might have nearly stepped on it barefoot. Fuck this shit.

I hate wasps. How is it possible you've got them at home?

p.s. at first I thought you mean WASPs - American English protestants.

 

[Casey]

/\ bwahaha why the fuck would i be talking about American English Protestants infesting my apartment? LOL

I don't know how it is possible. At first I thought they might be attracted to something because at one point I had left an empty soda can out, but I've cleaned up enough since then for that to not be the problem. So I dunno.

I am going to call my landlords. The link S O F I posted was good but it's mostly outdoor stuff for your garden and I am on the 4th floor. They do have an indoor zapper too though which I may purchase.

If this still doesn't fix it I will have to call in the experts.

LOL. Yeah they die pretty quickly I hear.

Maybe its a government conspiracy. Gordon Brown is a bastard.

Orrr You have a nest. Could have gotten in through a hole in your brick work and made a nest between the walls. I can't imagine it not being a nest, due to the amount.

Damn, that's fucking terrible.. lol. I'd hate that. Get that shit taken care of ASAP if you really can't stand it. Did you look around your apartment to see if you could find the spot(s) they are coming in? I wouldn't be able to deal with that shit. I hate bugs in my house period, let alone fucking wasps. Fuck what it'll cost, that's something you GOTTA get done. Unless you can fix it yourself of course.

 

[Casey]

Joe.....I think that might be right. There's obviously not a nest IN my apartment since i would have found it by now, but I think they may be getting in through the bricks and somehow finding an entrance into my place. Not very smart though as they all end up dead pretty quickly for whatever reason. (maybe the heat or something about the atmosphere inside)

linx - yeah it fucking sucks man. i'm not going home tonight tho as im going to see Prince again in London. I am going to call up my landlords tomorrow and see what they say....someone told me the council might come and sort it out for free. If they dont do that I will pay for the exterminators to come out.

I know roughly where they are coming in, I think. I can't seem to pinpoint any exact spots though. Most of them are coming into my bedroom where this one big window is (the window isnt one that opens tho)......but there's a few that come into the living room which is the complete opposite side of the building which is strange...not as many coming in there but still enough for it to be worrying.

Fucking irritating. I think it's gotta be something to do with the side of the building since one time about a week or so ago I just stood and looked through the window for about half an hour to see if I could see any coming in - I couldn't find the exact point but I saw shitloads of them like flying towards the direction of the window like they were all heading towards something. Some sorta base I guess.

I was a little complacent about it before since it just seemed like a few of them were coming in where the window was and dying fairly quickly.

But since yesterday when that one was on my bed, and then when I was rudely awakened this morning at 6.30 by one landing on me......fuck that shit. I wasn't planning to get up till 8.30 this morning cos I'm not gonna sleep tonight - motherfucking wasp cost me 2 hours of rest.

I'm gonna get these motherfuckers.

i didnt read your username properly so i was reading that and thought "what the fuck i never wrote this"

 

[Casey]

Oh yeah and a fully hilarious point that deserves it's own post - one of my dealer friends who is a full stoner, the other day he was rolling a spliff in my living room and went to pick up what he thought was a little bit of bud that he had dropped, to put it in the spliff.

He was just about to grab it when it moved and he realised it was a half-dead wasp on the floor still moving around a little and twitching......hahahahahahahahaha i laughed so hard.

find the nest and destroy it.

 

[masta247]

find the nest and destroy it.

Sounds like a quote from one of those super secret anti-alien-agency missions from the movies Big mutated wasps.. find and destroy their nest before they'll destroy human kind

 

[Bobby Sands]

find the nest and destroy it.

Yes Sir.

 

[Rahim]

haha keep stalking up on that bug spray man..and get some of those lanterns...i noticed that wasps and bugs like to come towards bright lights. keep that in mind.

 

[DarkPhantom13]

find the nest and destroy it.

Yup thats the thing to do! :thumb:

 

[Bender]

I have been having problem with flies and mosquitos (no wasps or bees though fortunately) - though when I get one in my room I have a fly-squatter or I use a flame-thrower (lighter & deodorant can) watch them legs singe off then, SPLAT!

 

[KJ1]

yeah man you have a nest in your brick or somewhere else that is exposed outside........ find the nest and buy the best wasp killer you can find and spray the hell out of the nest...... then knock it down

 

[Casey]

I called in the experts. Council covered the costs so it's all good.

I had found the nest a couple of days ago, remember the window I mentioned? Well, the nest was in between the brickwork and the underneath of the window, on the outside of the building.

The dude just came and killed the nest with some powdery spray stuff. There's now SHITLOADS of angry angry wasps buzzing around outside the window, but none of them can get back into the nest because of the insecticide, so they're real pissed.

The exterminator said to give it 48 hours and all the wasps will have moved on somewhere else by that point.

Whew.
