Waspaganza

So here out at the shelter, it is literally a lure to all of the stinging, flying insects that roam the woods here.

Anything that has a stinger, besides scorpions, ends up flying around the doors and windows, and sometimes getting into the shelter.

Which means, wasps. Bees. Mud daubers.. etc.

I can tolerate the mud daubers, and im okay with bees (as long as they dont get too close), but wasps and hornets? Naw fuck that.

I cant do it.

I run inside, I scream really high pitched, the color drains from my face... if this were a horror movie I wouldnt be acting and id become a shut in.

So ive been looking into different ways to capture or prevent wasps/hornets.

The ones we have currently are wood wasps, or the red ones with black butts, or red all over.

They happen to be two of the most aggressive species of wasp/hornet in america.

Crap.

So I really need to find a good way to rid the area of them. And I did find one.

You take a water bottle, cut the top off, take the top and stick it upside down and into the bottom of the bottle, tape it up, and fill it with dish soap and either hamburger or soda (sweet or protein).

You can also take things like chunks of hamburger or bacon, hang them from a tree, the wasps land on them, eat so much they fall off, and into a bucket or a plate of soapy water... where they die.

And they breathe through their skin or body, so when the soap gets on them, and dries, it sticks to them and they cant breathe. It sucks for them, but I need to be able to do my job out at the shelter so they have to go.

But anyway, theres five hanging in random places away from the doors and dogs out at the shelter, and
