One night I happened to look up and saw something under the eaves. Since it was dark, I couldn’t quite tell what it was, and I thought some disgusting looking nasty “creature” had taken up residence there. When I say “a nasty creature,” I don’t mean any extraterrestrial being or some creature from a science fiction movie or any such thing. I mean any creature that can be seen in nature that you would rarely see in a city like, say NYC. And I mean it in the nicest possible way.
So the next morning I tried to investigate, but the eaves being about 20 ft above ground, and the “creature” being not huge, I still couldn’t see what it was. A few days later, I zoomed in with my camera, and it revealed it wasn’t just a creature, it was a nest full of creatures with a big fat “S” at the end!
I tell you, I hate nature. I don’t get along with nature. I don’t know why nature wouldn’t just leave me alone. What have I ever done to it except, you know, a lot of things like using dish washing liquid, detergents, cleaning products, driving a car emitting harmful gas, using heating oil, etc… such small things… Negligible really… Sigh…
Anyway, I asked on plurk what to do about it. Some people told me they were yellow jackets, and some others told me they were wasps. I wiki’ed them, and yellow jacket is the common name for a type of wasp. Who knew? I thought yellow jackets were bees… or does it mean wasps are bees? Oh, who the fuck cares, I hate them. I want them gone!
The thing is this. I wanted a way to get rid of those creatures and the nest without using harmful chemical. (You see how considerate I am about nature and environment and shit? But does nature have any consideration for me? Why does nature has to do this to me, huh? I hate nature.) But to do that, I need to get a 20 ft stick, swat at it and haul ass. I know. Where the fuck am I gonna get a 20 ft stick? And if I have a 20 ft stick, where the fuck am I gonna haul ass to, assuming I CAN haul my big fat ass? Ugh. I hate nature.
Oh, and yeah, have I told you I hate nature?

This is so funny, cause the other day my parents hired this company to actually get all our wasps nests away for us. We have a 3 story deck that they like to build up under so obviously we can’t reach them, and plus we’ve been spraying killer chemicals for the past four years and they still come back.
I feel your pain.

I told you girl, pitch up a glass full of gasoline and follow with a match! Wasps will be gone, no muss, no fuss.
House may burn down too, but heck, you want to get rid of the wasps, right?
Not only do you have to hit it and run like mad, you have to stay out of the general vicinity for a while, so taking the dogs out would become an issue later. I cannot find anything to help you with a nest so high. you can look around here: http://www.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-wasps.htm
Personally I’d call Terminex. The wasps are a possible danger to the pups as well as you.
Ooh…wasps are not good at all! Call in the exterminators now! Best line of this post “I hate nature” You kill me Yoon!
Nature is good!

Ew!!!!!!!
I’m all for nature, but I hate wasps/hornets/the like. They’re always building nests under our deck. My dad hunts them at night, when they’re sleeping, with some sort of spray that I’m sure is awful for nature.
One time we had one in the eve above my bedroom window (which is a good two stories up) and had to call the exterminators.

Yikes! Those are some scary creatures! I have no idea how to get rid of ‘em though. I live in a condo so I don’t have to worry about those things. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
