Ah, Youtube. \u00a0Some videos are impossible not to click on. \u00a0The one above shows how one can relocate a wasp nest with a shotgun.<\/p>\n

In terms of DIY advice, this is pretty straightforward. \u00a0But fun, nonetheless, to watch.<\/p>\n

Now, before people start to go crazy over what appears to be the wanton destruction of innocent animals, there is a difference between wasps and bees. \u00a0Bees are our friends (so long as they’re not Africanized) and wasps are pests. \u00a0Bees create honey and can live alongside us in relative peace, especially if one is regularly harvesting their honey. \u00a0For more info on beekeeping, check out these highly\u00a0informative articles:<\/p>\n

Wasps, on the other hand, don’t produce honey. \u00a0What do they eat then? \u00a0Other insects. \u00a0Which is fine, if they are out in the wilderness. \u00a0But when their nest is close to one’s home, wasps can be a real nuisance. \u00a0They’re aggressive predators with a venomous sting. \u00a0They can sting one\u00a0multiple times,\u00a0and even after they’re dead their stingers can still release venom. \u00a0That’s correct, even after they’re dead, they can sting you. \u00a0You don’t want to live near a wasp nest. \u00a0Therefore, you have to take measures to get rid of the nest. \u00a0Is a shotgun the optimal tool for the job? \u00a0Probably not. \u00a0But it does do the job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
