How do I get this nasty creature out of my room?

Asked by poisonedantidote (21685points) July 29th, 2011

It’s some variation of a hornet, big, fast, stung me 3 times already. I don’t want to kill it, I just want to remove it, but my last 3 attempts to capture it have resulted in being stung.

I have just woken up and trying to fluther a little, and the damn thing keeps coming at me, why me.

Smash the shit out of the cocksucker. Don’t go for half measures.

Do you have hairspray around? You can spray the bugger until he gets too gummed up to fly, then smash him.

@Seelix If he has hairspray he could also hold a lighter in the path and fry the little bastard.

Ok, I tried to save the tupid things life, bit it stung me a 4th time, this time with me not even trying to capture it, so… it’s dead.

I do need to get an electrician in later to re attach my celing light, using a whip to take the thing out was probably a bad idea.

Still answer for next time, or for when its stupid eggs hatch and I have to deal with more of them.

@poisonedantidote – Dude!!! The ability to take out a flying critter the size of a wasp with a whip is pretty darned impressive. I once knew a guy (one of a dying breed of older true cowboys) who ran a dude ranch and entertained his guests with trick shooting and whip displays. He could flick a quarter perched on the ear of his assistant and flick the ash off a cigarette without removing the burning coal. However, I doubt he would have been able to hit a moving target like that.

Kudos to the victor!

Vacuum him up with the hose. Just be sure to leave it running a little bit so he gets sucked all the way in. When a wasp gets in our screened in porch we get them on the end of a broom and shake em off outside. Or if it’s being a little flying asshole, we smash them with the broom.

@YoBob It was not exactly a moving target, it had decided to land on my ceiling light, and I did not exactly get it in 1 go. hehe.
