I unfortunately have no advice to offer, as I am one of those people who if I see a wasp/bee/hornet in my house, I am OUT the door as quick as I can! Heaven help the cat or kid that gets in my way during my frantic exit.

And I don't know why I am so terrified of them. I've been stung several times. One on the palm of my hand by a bumble bee when I was about 4. Twice by a hornet that slipped down the front of my shorts when I picked up a blanket he was hiding in (one on the lower belly, and yes, one 'down there' before I shook it out of my shorts). And a few years back I had a yellow jacket fly up the sleeve of my shirt while I was driving and hanging my arm out the window. The son of a bitch stung me 6 times on the inner arm and near my armpit before I finally pulled over, stripped completely naked from the waist up in front of a neighborhood full of people, and flung my clothes on the ground to stomp the bastard dead (I think one or two old fellas out watering their lawns keeled over from cardiac arrest, too, at the sight of my naked ample bosom flopping in the breeze).

I survived them all, and while it hurts like a bitch, you get over it. But still I freak at the mere sound of their buzzing.

If I ever die in a tragic fiery car accident, I can guarantee it will be because a wasp/bee/hornet flew into my open car window.

Man Mitchell that sucks, I remember on a school trip I was in the girls room taking a shower(don't ask) and after I got out I heard this buzzing sound, I was like what the hell was that? so I started to look around and see where that buzz was coming from. after looking and looking I found 2 wasps flying up into the light. I got a news paper and rolled it up and smaked at them, I got one dead on and missed the other one. With the one I did kill I stomped that sucker out. As for the second one it got lose into the girls room by a crack in the wall leading to the room, so I opend the door and told the girls to get out b/c of the wasps, so I closed all the doors, windows, and vents. so it was just me and the wasps. I looked for it and found it on a wall, it looked like it was going to sting me, so I got some of that raid stuff( I also carry it on me when I am out in the woods) so I spryed it and the wasps did not die. I was like oh shit what am I going to do. so I took another paper and hit it. I just dazzed it enough and stopmed it out. so I got both wasps w/o getting stung. So after that I went to the front on the room outside and looked under to see if there was a nest and there was. So I called the people in charge and they got rid of the nest. Just wanted to share my story with you guys. Wasps don't bother me that much, but you don't want to fuck with them. Anyway good luck with that Mitchell

Raid isn't the fastest to kill them on its own, they will die eventually, but I end up using a Kleenex box to put it down faster after the raid knocks it down.

At the start of the summer I had bees coming in from somewhere, and I didn't know where. I sprayed around the door to my utility closet, and the vent for the fan in my bathroom. I haven't seen any bees sense, and most of my other bugs have slowed down too, so I'd reccomend spraying around any similar openings you have. Nice thing about Raid is that will not only kill anything it hits on contact (eventually), it also acts as a repellent for about the next month (if you believe the label anyway). Good luck getting rid of them.

HotSHot makes an excellent line of products I highly reccomend them for Roaches, Spiders, and all kinds of other pests. I just wish the stuff was easier to find out here. Seems only Walmart carries and then not all the time.
