BFTD Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Amazed by the amount of people who have said they try and kill wasps. If you miss surely things will quickly escalate? Doesn't stop the Americans when they see efnicks wandering through their neighbourhood, and you'd think the stakes are a fair bit higher there. People are stupid. We're all a bunch of morons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yes. We should kill wasps because they're ignorant and don't contribute to society. Scroungers. Did you vote Tory by any chance? I voted for Greenpeace. I share the love. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifergaz Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I tend to let any insect found in the house out a door or a window but if it scares one of my daughters I've got to kill it to stop them being upset.one exception to this rule was inside a dead bird one of our cats had thoughtfully left at the back door.I let it sit for longer than I should have and when I went to lift it yesterday it was a writhing mess of feeding maggots.I went at it like Shaun of the Dead battering a zombie,with my spade,until every one of the wee fuckers was squashed.felt good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I thought about this yesterday when a rather large arachnid walked along the bedroom skirting, no way would I have killed it. We're all just trying to get by. Did have a wee look about before I went to ma bed later right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I kill flies and things that want to bite me like mosquitos, midges, clegs, etc. Anything else I try and put outside so the cats don't torture and eat it. Spiders I try and look after because they kill pests. And I like the way the run about. Daddylonglegs are cool too. I'm also fond of moths. Once when I was on holiday I woke up to a buzzing whine in my ear. I jumped up realising it was a mosquito, fat on my blood. I tried to swat it, missed, but watched with massive satisfaction as it half-flew, half tumbled in the eddies of air caused by my thrashing straight into a big spider's web. The spider, which has stripey legs, and which I'd befriended on the first day there, came zooming out the corner and trussed the mosquito in webbing for eating later. Very pleasing indeed. I'm not liking this, I like bees but hate wasps malarkey. Is it because bees are furry and cute and wasps look as if they mean business. It's like saying horses are cool but zebras are fucking vermin. It's nonsensical I don't go out my way to kill wasps, but will do if they're annoying me. Your analogy is wrong though, as bees are useful, wasps are mainly arseholes. Also, wasps will try and get into beehives, and if they get in the bees don't know what to do and the wasps kill all the bees. Bees need as much help as they can get, so I shed no tears for a dead wasp. This. Or another example would be setting a butterfly free out your window but swatting a fly, just because of how they look. They've both committed the same act. Not really. A fly or bluebottle has committed the act of landing on shit than attempting to come in and land on my food, spreading disease. A butterfly has committed the act of fluttering about looking pretty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 On more than one occasion I've found wasps in my house significantly larger than usual. Are these queens or just fat arses? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an_dee Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) I squash everything stupid enough to cross my path and feel no sympathy. Wasps are the worst, just dicks. I also have no sympathy for dead cats. None at all. Wouldn't deliberately harm one but wouldn't feel a bit of remorse if I ran one over. Would feel for the owner a bit I suppose but nothing for the disgusting cat. That'll put the cat among the pigeons so to speak Edited July 16, 2015 by an_dee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I once saw a wasp caught in a spider's web. The spider was pretty big and was eating the wasp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I once killed a wasp and put it in a spiders web. The spider toddled out, had a poke about, then fucked off. Went back a few days later and the wasp was untouched. They prefer to do the killing themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 If I can't get a fly or a wasp out the window I swat them. Wasps are useful though. They pollenate plants and hunt insects that would otherwise damage crops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
