Re: Tiny home invaders!

My house got double-teamed one summer: yellowjackets in the outdoor lighting, wasps in the rafters of the garage. Even if I wasn't deathly allergic, there's no way in hell you could have gotten me to deal with it myself, haha. I called exterminators. Apparently it'd just been a really aggressive season for them.

Oh, ew. Bees. Those are my things. Give me any other creepy crawly thing and I can kill it. I have a bee phobia, though. Terrified of them. I'm slightly allergic, though not deathly. But so far I've managed to avoid being stung except once when I was in 7th grade and came out from swimming in the pool to find a bee in my shoe. So I'm totally fine with being terrified of them if it means I don't get stung.

I totally understand that! There's just something so insidious about a bee/wasp/yellowjacket sting. Wasps/yellowjackets especially: I always joke that bees at least serve a purpose by making honey, but wasps and yellowjackets are little more than flying fear engines.

Yup. And getting stung on your big toe as a kid has a big impression.

I don't remember it (thankfully), but my first sting was when I was three, and I plucked it off a hot dog at a fair. It stung me, obviously, but apparently I didn't make too much noise until my arm had swollen up to about three times its size, haha.

I've been stung once more, too, by a yellowjacket that was hiding under the faucet of my shower when I was about 17. It was only a baby, so I was able to kick the reaction with a huge dose of Benadryl, but man. I was terrified of that shower for months after.

Yeah. Wasps are definitely best left to the professionals.
I'm not sure what yellowjackets are.

Googled. They look terrifying.

They're the worrrrrst. Even moreso than wasps, they're mean little buggers. Wasps won't usually hunt you down unless you bother them (at least, the ones where I live don't, they're fairly lazy), but yellowjackets seem to just attack out of sheer spite, haha.

I fucking hate yellowjackets.

My grandpa's allergic and he used to tell me stories starting when I was three about how he got stung/bitten and had to get rushed to the hospital. I've been paranoid about bees and wasps even since... have never gotten stung, so I have no idea whether I'm allergic or not.

I feel his pain for sure! I understand being paranoid, even not being allergic, there's just something that feels kind of off-puttingly evil about a bee/wasp/yellowjacket sting. It's sort of funny, because even taking allergic reaction out of the equation, it's not so much that the sting hurts (it does, but it's far from the most painful thing ever), it's the associated heebie-jeebies that make it really terrible. I don't wish it on anyone.
