1000 years of beatings with shoes have been decreed upon the lesser satan yellowjackets

when I learned they have that their incredible defenses to protect their nests from bears, I understood their behavior better

still hate and fear them, but it makes sense that the weapons required to defend themselves from huge, ravenous creatures covered in thick fur and layers of fat would be overkill against the thin-skinned, (relatively) hairless beings haplessly passing by

Time to invest in some false wasp nests

Soap and water in a spray bottle kills them.

wait, i have not bought stocks in throw-able footwear

Haven't killed a yellow jacket. They're secondary pollinators too, iirc. When they wander into my home, I cup em and let em outside.
