Wasp problem? Can't say enough, just BUY IT!!!
Paper Wasp nest outside my dining room window. Tried Raid, and other "brand name" sprays. Ticked-off wasps and multiple stings later, I was out of spray and still had a good sized nest. Did some research and heard whispers of a product called "Wasp Freeze". Knowing Wasps and Bees dislike cold, this sounded like a possible solution. 15 Hardware stores later, I was frustrated. No one knew what I was asking about, and thought I must be crazy. Can't say I blame them, after asking me what I wanted to freeze wasps for, I told them I was working on a top-secret Cryogenics project for NASA, in an attempt to populate other solar systems with Wasps. That's what they get for asking dumb questions! :) Anyway, I turned as always to Amazon, and there she was. A plain looking (Can you say generic looking?) can of wasp freeze, with glowing reviews. I thought I knew, but now I REALLY know the meaning behind "Opening a can of whoop #&%" (Marketing Department can give me a writing credit there) I waited until sundown, stood 6 Feet away. One shot, at least 40 kills. Instantly dead. No muss, no fuss. The few remaing wasps anywhere near my property avoid me like death incarnate now, and pass along tales of "The night the Nest stood still"
Just buy it already!!!
Edit 9/15/2014:
It appears that it takes about 4 years or so for the mythological/legendary properties of this product to wear off. Either that, or there was some sort of bloodless (We can only hope it was bloodless) coup within the wasp community, and the new dictator of the Wasps had all records of the "Night" purged from the history of his people, in an attempt to show just how powerful and unconquerable the Fascist Wasp nation is; They finally came back. It could just be that I've been lucky for 4 years despite living on the edge of a forest preserve, but I prefer my theories which are soon to be made into a best-selling self-published book of short stories. (Thanks mom for pre-ordering every single copy!!!)
Regardless of which event caused their return, the need arose for the weapon of Arthropoda Insecta Hymenoptera destruction to be called back into service. I drew up my orders for battle (ordered it) on Sunday night, and was surprised that my generals were so eager and ready for combat (Arrived MONDAY morning! Thank you Amazon Prime!) and the war, though brutal, was as brief as before, with no casualties on the side of righteousness. All quiet on the Midwestern front. ::Field Report ended::
8.26.2018: I recently moved houses, about a mile away from the original location. Being a bit further from the forest preserve, I thought perhaps I wouldn't have to deal with the wasps as frequently as I had in the past. But 'lo and behold, there were some rather misinformed black-n-yellow fellows who had taken up residence inside the tubing of the basketball hoop I had inherited on the new property. Now, I didn't know they were there to be honest. I was just out to enjoy a little b-ball practice with a shiny new Spalding ball (I really wanted an A.B.A. ball to relive the 70's but they were out of stock!), and wasn't looking to engage in combat this particular day. Seriously, I was just out there throwing up amazing hook shots and a couple of incredible layups, and one or two mediocre granny shots for giggles when all of a sudden it's like the skies over London circa 1940. I hadn't needed my trusty wasp-freeze for some time and it turns out I was woefully unprepared, so I beat a hasty retreat (Blacked-out the windows and instituted rationing until further notice, much to the annoyance of my wife.) I sent a covert communique to Amazon.com and the secret weapon was once again being smuggled to me via the French Underground. Or was it UPS? I honestly couldn't say which, since they were so stealthy dropping it off, I never saw them. In any case, I was once again armed to the teeth (Side-note, don't get this stuff on or even near your teeth), and much like Operation Overlord I attacked exactly where I'd be expected to attack, and the enemy had over estimated their position far too much. Unfortunately it seems I DID attack slightly prematurely, and a few units were out on patrol and were missed. Needless to say, when they returned to mourn their fallen, I quickly mopped up. Now if only I could find a way to attach the wasp-freeze to this guy...https://www.amazon.com/Flyline-Combat-Complete-Flight-Spitfire/dp/B0092GQLHE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1535330376&sr=8-2&keywords=remote+control+spitfire
Man...that's be fun....
