    A lost wasp made its way into my garage yesterday, and I couldn’t find the fly swatter, so I got creative with a leaf blower and sent him flying back outside.

      In risk of being today’s insane guy on the internet, a lot of wasp species are actually pretty docile and even friendly. I used to water and relocate mud daubers that got into my apartment and after about a year they started nesting on the south side of the apartment and scaring off the squirrels that would get into the crawlspaces. By the time I moved they’d come up to me if I was outside and either fly around me if they wanted something or land near by and rest.

      I have one of those cordless vacuums. If it’s too big to get swatted, you gonna get the succ’d up, fool.
