Default I Just Went on a Rampage...

...killing hornets and wasps. Fuckers. I pressure washed our front porch this weekend and my wife put a fresh coat of water seal on it. We were moving the furniture from the garage back to the porch and while I was moving one end of the porch glider a hornet got me on my right leg. Not 15 seconds later as we were setting it down the fucker came back and nailed me on top of my left foot. I started jumping and cursing and went off to the garage and grabbed the 2 cans of hornet spray.

Holding one in each hand I started dousing the little bastards Bruce Willis 'Die Hard' style. Lisa was laughing at me because she said I had my "angry face on". After killing 5-6 of them I looked over at my neighbor's house and saw a few over there. The grandfather was sitting on the porch and I asked him if he would mind if I killed their wasps for them. After draining both cans on everything that was small and flying around our two yards I feel slightly better, but I'm still not satisifed.

Shit's pretty toxic to breathe, and probably stains wood or siding.

It was worth any vapors I may have inhaled. Little bastards. As far as staining, it's never stained the siding before.

Great, come to my house, I'm sure I have some left.

I just got a hornets nest, and those damn bumblebees keep drilling holes in my deck posts. But they tend to guard the deck, so I use some sandals, and knock they out of the air, and crush them, got about a dozen so far.
