[stevew]

[johnnyshaka]

Found a nest in my parent's garden last week and I'm deathly allergic...not good. We Raid'd the shit out of it right then and there...did the trick.

[sabotai]

Well then, that settles it. I'm never going to be able to mow the lawn again.

[MrBug708]

At least they weren't underground spiders

Is there a story behind this?...if so I'd love to hear it. Just another seed to plant in my mom's head while she's gardening.

if it makes you feel better, Yellowjackets kill more americans a year than killer bees. mostly from thier underground nest getting disturbed like you did. count yourself lucky

Thats why I have the traditional Arizona landscape...Rocks, Rocks and more Rocks. I am allergic as hell to those things too, been stung once and it was some scary shit.

Stung by rocks? Damn you're allergic to everything. And I didn't know rocks could sting. We're all screwed! ;)

[stevew]

well thankfully i was lucky. I hadn't mowed in awhile,and then all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain, and then more. I ended up ripping off my shirt and ran inside. They must have been swarming badly cause I ended up killing about 4-5 bees inside the house. Total sting count was more like 7 or 8, but for the thread title I was going for fiddy reference. The odd thing was that my 3 year old had been singing the `Buzz buzz` Larie bertner song right before i went outside.

Jesus was stung at least ten times.

I'm on my way to Solla Sollew, on the banks of the river Wahoo, where they never have troubles, at least very few.

The weakest PA Heist I ever heard of involved bees and cutting the grass ;) Anyways...

Seriously, my grandfather refused to let anyone cut his grass that didn't have long sleeves and long pants on. He one time hit a bush that had a wasp nest in it. Cut to old man running, swarm of wasps chasing and you get the idea.

[stevew]

One can of raid down, on the way to the store to get another one, as these fucks are still flying everywhere. I swear their fucking tunnel would impress the Taliban.

trust me, i would have laughed my ass off if I saw a bigger guy ripping off his shirt and frantically trying to get inside as well.

[MizzouRah]

I go outside today through the side door to turn on the sprinkler when I feel pain in my upper back - I turn around and there is a wasp nest right above the door with about 8 wasps hanging from it. I run into the garage and run my back along my truck that is parked inside because it felt like they were still stinging me.

That was some of the most intense pain I've felt in quite some time...

I get the can of wasp killer and exterminate all but two who managed to get away.

My back is still hurting.. wow...

[illinifan999]

when we moved into our house, there were creatures that were some sort of mutant hybrid of a bumblebee, wasp, yellow jacket, and a lion flying by the door. my girlfriend decided to hit one with a folder. i didn't leave the house for 3 days.

[stevew]

At least we found the nests. Instead of the kids.

I haven't seen one this year. But I did narrowly avert a disaster last fall. When shit happened I was prepared.

How did that work out?

[Maple Leafs]

Is it wrong that I now have an image of your three-year-old running around the backyard frantically shouting "buzz buzz bees!" with a cloud of yellow jackets trailing behind him while you sit in the kitchen reading the newspaper and muttering about how sick you are of this song?

[Coffee Warlord]

Ahhh, you remind me of the Great Bee Jihad of 2003. Fun times.

Bees still whisper my name with fear.

[CamEdwards]

My neighbor had an underground wasps nest. My daughter was stung three times, and the neighbor kids each got stung before the neighbors found where the nest was and killed the little winged bastards.

That was a griffon. One of it's feathers can cure blindness.

Nine times?

Nine times.

[PackerFanatic]

Nine times?

Nine times.

That was my first thought as well ;)

And I am very glad my father is a bug guy - we typically get this kind of shit taken care of before it becomes a problem.

[PackerFanatic]

dola - although it wasn't always pleasant when he would come home from work when I was a kid and show us dead rats just for fun. He has an F'ed up sense of humor...

[illinifan999]

How did that work out?

Well as soon as she swung she dropped the folder and ran inside the house. Since I didn't see the folder when I finally ventured outside I can only assume the creature ate it.

[stevew]

Alright, here's some shit.

I mess around with the riding mower all morning, the tire keeps going flat, I eventually say fuck it and go buy a whole new wheel setup. Anyways, I'm mowing the back yard, and I get too close to a stump and fuck up my blades. So I stop the mower, and get out to inspect.

Anyways, apparently I sit down right on a fucking ants nest. I feel something, I have a swarm on my right elbow, and another pack on my knee. And these fuckers bite too. It wasn't sharp pain or anything, but my right tricep is pretty sore right now.

[Ksyrup]

Been stung nine times - once, when I was five!

[Kodos]

It seems like maybe you should hire someone to do your yardwork.

[molson]

Clearly, your lawn is trying to kill you. And it's persistent.

Fire ants? I'm allergic and badly don't like them.

I've been bit to hell by just regular old ants. Was sitting on the concrete path connecting the porch to the driveway doing something with my daughter who was 3ish at the time, feel a stinging and didn't think much of it, then more and more.. Daughter looks at me and said something about bugs on me, I jump up take off my shirt and pants cause they're all over me and hit the shower. The whole time in the shower ants were falling off me down the drain.

After my shower I poured a little gas on there and had an ant bbq.

[ColtCrazy]

It had literally been years since I'd been stung. But bees were bad in England this summer it seems.

the worst was hanging out in the garden of the pub with some friends one night. Got stung in the neck. Sucked, but at least there was beer to drink off the pain.

[GrantDawg]

I now kill wasps, yellow jackets and hornets for a living. I probably did over 200 nests this summer. Never stung once. Never wore a bee suit, nor even long sleeves. You just got to know how to kill the suckers.

That actually seems like a cool job. I'm not afraid of bugs and spiders, so I could totally do it.

[stevew]

Hmm. That seems like a lot of jobs and I'm sure it costs a decent amount for you to come out. In other words I guess it was a productive summer.

[Ksyrup]

A couple of weeks ago, I took 6 or 7 yellow jacket stings while mowing. They didn't really puff up too bad, but I cut myself on the back of the neck trying to get them off me, and that cut swelled up pretty good.

[GrantDawg]

For a yellow jacket's nest or a hornet's nest, yeah. I kill several waps nest a day just in standard pest control.

At the gas station the other day and this guy is wandering the lot asking for help to remove a wasps nest built around his gas cap.

[GrantDawg]

The bubble bee, wasps, yellow jacket, lion hybrid are called Secada Killers. They look like Huey's swooping down on you. They are very non-aggresive though (the males being the most territorial, but they don't even have stingers). They will make burroughs in the ground that will do a good bit of lawn damage. The best way of killing them is a tennis racket and pretending to be John McEnroe.

Same here. Plus, the thread gets bumped infrequently enough that I always think the post is going to follow along w/ the rest of the song somehow.
