Dude showed me once...just threw a cup of soapy water on the nest. They just fell to the floor. 🤷‍♀️

@Punxi I'll try that when it cools off tonight. Can't get stung much as my threshold is a dozen stings, then I need a ride to the ER.

@Spumoni Damn!! I get stung once I want'em resurrect Jee-Zuss STAT! 😭

@Punxi It's intense!

@Spumoni @Punxi I do not think soapy water kills them but it does weigh down their wings so they cannot fly temporarily.

My favorite thing to murder the little b@stards is this -

@CestManan Nice! Like an arsenal pack! You're correct. After they fell, he just stepped on'em.

@Punxi Who needs Spectracide when you have Nike? :D
@Punxi this is good advice . Wirks for spiders too.
Wasps and some spiders breath thru spiracles, (holes in their 'skin').

A spray bottle full of detegent and water is a good defence .
Enough of it basically suffocates them to death .

I learnt this from my brother who has asperges. One of the most usefull pieces of info he ever forced on me .😆

Side note: vinegar is AMAZING for taking tje sting out of wasp stings.

I've tried it ....and its incredible. If you can get to it soon, it really takes like 80% of its punch away. And it swells way less afterwards .

@OogieBoogie Bless his heart. Never knew those facts. Intresting. I like arm title waved a sink full on a cockroach once. Little shit just surfed it.
🤣@Punxi i swear , those fuckers will rule the earth one day.

I chopped a cockcroach in half once just to see what they look like , and they look like a brazil nut inside: all white . Fuck knows how they function, they are so BASIC : no guts , no nervous or venous system ....no nothing!

@OogieBoogie Right!! Sounds heinous but found one trapped in a glass in my shed once. Could not escape. For more than two months it survived. No food or water. Read once that they dart...stop...dart, as to scale they are moving so fast it cannot see its surroundings. Like jumpin light speed.

@Punxi So a roach can survive a couple months with no food nor water, yet us humans will die after 24 hours if we don't have our social media.

@CestManan Hahaha! Ill hold out maybe 16...then need life support obviously.

@Punxi
"911 what is your emergency?"
"(freaking out voice) My friend Punxi lost her Internet connection and she is convulsing on the floor!"

Instead of an EKG monitor you just see this screen with SW on it.
@Punxi wow.

Tough little feckers .
