A shotgun??? I'm thinking more along the lines on Tactical Thermo-Nuclear Warheads for that beast of absolute bad-assery...binnsyboy said:Oh, damn... see this is why firearms are a good thing. You'll want a shotgun for an even spread, because if you miss, the noise will piss that thing off... XDThatLankyBastard said:Jesus Christ...DirtyMagic said:Something like this?
...is moving to a different area an option?
Holy shit, I saw one of those things in a dream last night!DirtyMagic said:Something like this?
Because they're still wasps and will fuck. you. up.
It was resting on a leaf as in the picture, I got close to it, it floated up, we did the side-step-back-and-forth dance that is virtually required when a person meets a flying insect, (always seems to happen, doesn't it?) then I punched it, it flew backward, gave inertia the finger, and flew back at me at the same speed with which I had sent it flying, causing me to punch it again. This went back and forth several times like a game of Gannondorf's tennis until my alarm went off. I don't know who won.
OP: I recommend a can of wasp Raid, the stuff is, I'm told, death in a can when applied to the bug it's meant for. Don't worry about range, it's supposed to reach about 30 feet in a concentrated beam of genocide. (may want to test it about a bit, though)
That made me laugh because it is true. I hosed down a small hornet nest in a corner of my window (outside, of course) a few weeks ago. They flew away for about .001 nanoseconds before dropping to the ground and twitching for a minute. Then their friends returned to the chemically-soaked nest to meet the same fate. And a few larva fell out. It also works on spiders!LaughingAtlas said:
I remember seeing those once. They are truly horrifying creatures that also eat babies. Because they're EVIL!Macrobstar said:
OT: Kill it with Windex, preferably, as some others mentioned.
Send out Charizard, and hope you have a healthy amount of Antidotes. Other then that, pest control guy, and ask him.
Call a bug exterminator. Whatever they are, they probably won't react well to you doing anything to them so you need an expert, Unless you wind up as a story on the Discovery channel.
Obligatory: Bees. My god.

Thank you fine fellows for revealing to me the epic battles for survival going on everyday in the natural world.SckizoBoy said:
In a single night I've been grotesquely horrified by the brutality and coldblooded efficiency of the hornet attack and then grotesquely intrigued by the swarming dogpile-style defense of the bees.
There, there... they're just misunderstood. *goes off to comfort the insects*Fidelias said:
Actually, the bees are swarming at the moment... and the ant-queens have spewed out a very large brood, this time. Awesome!
Glad to be of service!13lackfriday said:
Holy hell. I'm now going to have nightmares about being smothered in a writhing stinging mass of bees as well as nightmares about seeing those Japanese monstrosity hornets.SckizoBoy said:
*blink* *blink* I'm sorry you feel that way. I find it somewhat uplifting! (Given where I do research, I should, but I reckon that vid was brilliant.)Scorched_Cascade said:
I was actually going to put in a comment to the effect of:
And at the risk of being flamed by those who are offended by romaji: Jouou no tameni!
