Wasp's Nest

We have a Wasp's Nest attached to our deck. Last year we had one attached to the side of our house and we waited until winter to kill it. This year my husband got daring and decided to get rid of the nest. We really miss our deck. The weather has become quite hot and we want to use Keira's kiddie pool.

We bought the spray a couple of days ago. My husband had to spray the nest because I am allergic to bites and stings. I thought he would spray the nest and the foam would contain them and they would all die within the nest. They were all supposed to be in their nest sleeping peacefully at night, so they would die in their sleep.

I was quite unprepared for what happened. My husband sprayed the foam into the nest. All the wasps left the nest en masse and began to fly in a drunken state toward the light coming through our window. I felt like I was in a Stephen King novel as they repeatedly flew into the glass. A little more strength and they would have broken the glass and stung us all to death. Luckily, we were still in reality so it was just a freaky scene to watch.

Of course we realized after the fact that the cat snuck out earlier in the evening. Her fate has yet to be determined. But I believe she will come back the very next day. Hopefully, she will come back without a single sting.

We may have to treat the nest a couple more times before removing it, but I will be happy if we can get a few more wasp free swims in the kiddie pool this summer.
