    forget snakes on a plane--try yellowjackets in the bathroom

    That's right folks.

    Take a look at these pictures and tell me YOU would want to come out of a shower naked and wet into this room!

    We happily share our windows with wasps. They come in when it's really hot. So far we haven't seen any flying around the house, they just stay right on the window, or on the window edges. When it cools down, right when it gets dark, they take off. We don't see them again until 10 or 11 am the next day.
     
    I'm not talking about a few either. I'm talking about 15-20 per window.

    I was dealing with wasps landing on me (several at time) and "smelling" me, checking me out. But that was OUTSIDE. A yellowjacket took a BITE out of my arm, not a sting, he tried to EAT me. And that was outside, too. Still, I was dealing with the nearly horror-movie volume of wasps as long as it was outside.

    Inside is another thing.

    These guys in the bathroom were a)yellowjackets, who are notoriously cranky and b)ANGRY.

    Basically I'd spray them with soapy water, pick them up with toilet paper and flush them. I can't risk Sofia getting stung again, and I hate stepping on them and getting stung. Or picking up a towel and drying myself off with a yellowjacket in the towel...OUCH.

    So hey, if you can live with them on the windows, more power to ya. In the bathroom it's not okay with me. There is no window in the bathroom.

    The LL says he "tore out the wall" and got the nest. So far I've found about five flying around the house since. Plus one on the toilet body and one UNDER THE TOILET SEAT. THAT would have been bad! He also emptied the light fixture, thank god. But after that he freaked out on me (see my buying a house thread).

    Oh, no way! Too many stingers and too much exposed skin. Running out of the shower is just asking for it.

    ONCE apon a time...I was working on a car under a large ash tree in my back yard.It was a very hot August day and i was dressed in nothing but my army coveralls.

      As i lay on my back under the car,unbuttoned to my belly button,a large bumble bee decided to find his way into my suit..lol

      I scrambled from under the car all the while tearing the suit off and exposing myself to traffic.

      I have never been bitten by a bumble bee...do they sting or bite?
