This monster was flying in my garage the other day and it took about 10 minutes for it to die after being doused with Wasp Spray. I bet the sting would be HELL !

The file was too large. Sorry.

The file was too large. Sorry.

That's a recent glitch around here. If you're familiar with image-editing software, you can just resize the image down until the board decides to accept it.

If you need help with any of that, just let us know!

Be thankful it wasn't one of the Japanese species

I thought the nasty (killer) species came from Africa. Or is that only in movies?

Can you install a fly trap or something? They can be killed with this, you'll just need a couple of these. They seem to be more active this season.

This is a good idea, but we need to be very mindful of accidentally killing 'good' bees.

Colony Collapse Disorder of the bee population is very well documented, and very real. So be careful when using any method of killing pest insects; make sure they're not going to kill bees, too.

Non-lethal traps also exist. Insects are just lured and trapped inside the tank, you can free them somewhere else then.
