Wasps do not play! They can sting you many times over and all their friends will join in! Soapy water does well and swatting them when they are chilly also does well, if you have a can of compressed air that can work too. I have a rule, if you are outside I leave you alone, if you come into my house I don’t.

And I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day Ashley. 👍🏼❤️

Thanks for not editing out the wasp experience - I never laughed so hard in my life. (So...Doug's a screamer, is he? That is so funny...🤣).

Reminds me of years ago at a friend's place in Missouri. They had a wasp problem also - in a tiny old smokehouse that sat right next to the main house. Anyone who walked close to it would get attacked. My friend latched onto a pest control sprayer and filled it with kerosene. It worked great, only it was a matter of "shoot-and-run" then going back and doing it again until they were finished. He got stung a few times, so he gave the job to me.

Of course, I was too quick for them, and so I survived to tell the tale to younger generations. You probably won't want to use the kerosene method, and I have no other suggestions. I used what worked and didn't bother to ponder other options. But I thought you might like the story.

Letting them alone for the time being is a wise thing to do until you can formulate a plan. But don't wait too long - if they decide to pack up and move, it may be to a more private place and you might not find them. "Keep your friends close, but your adversaries even closer."

Happy Mother's Day Ashley! You are admired and respected more than I believe you realize.

Happy Mother's Day Ashley. You are a great mother!

Doug, at night put a jar over that wasp nest and gentle ease a piece of cardboard between mouth of jar and ceiling. Once it has fallen into jar, keep cardboard over the jar mouth. Take covered jar, nest, and wasps to a tree far away from your house. Gently nestle jar in the tree limbs. Take cardboard off and run like heck. You haven't killed them or destroyed their hard word. You have relocated them.

The scream when the wasps came down...raised my respect level for you immensely....You could have cut that out but you didn't..you trusted us viewers like we were close friends..

Happy mother's day Ashley. Doug I love that you screamed when the bug went after you. Your children will never forget that about you. Nice haircut.

That Homer Simpson scream was exactly what I needed this morning! Thank you. Way to go Ashley for keeping it real!

[DeeWal]

That scream was everything 😂😂😂

Happy Mother’s Day Ashley.

Thanks for leaving the "wasp attack" in Ashley, I would have been rolling on the floor laughing! You'll have to get rid of them Doug, because they WILL attack you when you least expect it. Plus more will come if you don't get rid of the nest. Happy Mothers Day Ashley!

[smallfootprint]

The bubble foil is such a great idea for that porch area. I wouldn't have thought of that. Happy Mother's Day, Ashley. Looks like the kids are having fun.

[tripletgirl]

Loved the man scream! LOL! Actually wasps are worthy of a good scream!

[l.j.martin]

Sorry Doug but that was hysterical!! Ashley, “Why do you scream like that?!” LMBO!!!! I love you guys! Thank you!

[ndlz]

Happy Mother’s Day Ms. Ashley! Mr. Doug you floored me with the yelps! 🤣🤣🤣 Now you reminded me of Stan Laurel!

[HoneyHollowHomestead]

LOL! Thanks for the laugh, Doug! But really, you can't let them finish building there. I take a lighter to the nest and they fly away to build elsewhere. Go ahead and give them their eviction notice before they try to give you one. 😊

I’m so sorry but I laughed out loud when you squealed at the wasps. I know they hurt real bad when they sting but it was just so funny to hear you squeal. I am so glad you left it in the video. I am also glad that you didn’t get stung by them. Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day, Ashley.
