To kill or not.....

I have walked under several times and they never bothered me.

They’d be killed at my crib.

Not even a question.

Spectracide is on your side!

The pit bull of bee’s-

Not a problem until it’s a problem. I’d put em down.

Yep. They need to be gone. You never know what might set them off.

Scraped my head on a big nest in mesquite tree limb while riding a horse, as a kid.

well said

I’ve never been stung by a dead yella jacket

I vote don't kill. See how long you can coexist with them without being stung. It could be a turning point in bee/human relations. You could get a Nobel Peace Prize.

I believe those are paper wasps and please kill them before they find their way to one of my deer blinds with all the rest

I don't have a kill on sight rule with the yellow jackets, but I do with the Red Devils (red wasps). The Red Devils are way too aggressive. Got nailed a month ago just putting a padlock on a pump house door. 5 hits on the back of the neck. They're all dead now.

That said, I would probably kill them.

JR

They serve no purpose but bother people......dust'em.

Just see if you can talk them into relocating,if not then just leave those little wing babies alone.


Oh,wait kill those BASTAGES

Kill em!

Kill them all

YJLM

With fire

There are plenty of them other places. Spray !!!

Probably need to take them out if close to house.

Dawn to the rescue

Pear burner.

Kill

post on facebook that you have some confederate wasps that need to be protested and see what happens.


or KILL THEM DEAD, KILL THEM REALLY DEAD!

KILL,...their sting has brought tears to my eyes more than once,...oh that hurts !!

I’ve heard of tree huggers but never wasp huggers...

The one on the top right will be the first one to get you.

RIP the adults and use the larva for fish bait for Blue gill.

They normally won't bother till this end of this month or early September when the little ones start coming out, then you will wish like hell you took care of it earlier.

They'll be a march down your street shortly.

Yup, kill em.

Well... guess I will wait a few days so I can take larva fishing...

Thanks for replies.

A can of spray paint and a lighter!!

The old cotton gin in Bullard went out that way.

got stung by one of them today while trimming bushes.

kill'em, kill'em all.

Get rid of them.

Do not NOT kill them.

If they are at least 12-15 ft from high traffic area I'd leave them, closer they're gone.

them lil bastards need to DIE NOW

^^^This but if you decide to kill them leave the nest . IME they don't seem to build another nest near an older one .

Let them decide. Send some Spectracide their way and let them and the spectracide fight it out.

Get your BB gun out and pick them off while they're on the nest. When you get good enough to hit them in mid-air, you're ready for dove season.

Don't let any of them escape either

kill....blow the dang house up! Hate those things.

They are great predators. I have them and never kill them, they patrol my garden all day. In early spring if they try to build a nest near the door I just knock it down and they move off. I haven’t been stung in at least 30 years.

What is their prey?

That is a two two canner,

Those kind always give me trouble, the bigger red ones never bother me. I have a pretty big garden and the red ones are always on and around the plants even when I am tending it and picking vegetables. They prey on all the things that want to eat my plants. I have never been stung or even approached in a menacing way by them. I only kill the red ones when they make a nest in a spot that is inconvenient, other than that I leave them alone and they leave me alone, the smaller light yellow ones I spray every single nest.

Those are actually paper wasps and not yellow jackets. Paper wasps are more docile than yellow jackets and generally leave you leave them alone. Just thought you may want to be educated on your opponent. I’d kill them if it were me.
