We had a tree trim guy come buy once and trim the palms. He was stung many times that day and said he was used to it. Eeek
They definitely get your attention.
At my place in Texas I wait until night to use wasp spray, they're docile and you get em all at once.

Yup.
I never reacted that bad.
And it’s gotten bigger.
Ice pack helps a bit, but not much.

Thanks Ray,
Yes it is actually sore.
But that is life, I need a nurse like Eve to sort the swelling and pain.
So last night I got stung, and they won.
Certainly the the last laugh

So on inspection this morning after an uneventful Bootfair, one could see the entrance and loads of wasps around.
Probably 10 in front, darting in and out constantly.
So I waited till about 11.30 to go build a new weapon.
The Reaper Stick.
Can of wasp spray and Ducktape on a stick.
Setting off the poison was a challenge, to get the Ducktape to depress and keep down, the button.
And then in there, I also manipulated it for a bit, to get the most to spread around a bit.
Will go back and inspect tomorrow, and if not traffic, then it will be time to dig it all up.
Maybe get back into the shed.
