Nick's Wasp Removal Method

A step by step guide to removing wasps in a creative (but not recommended) way:

1. Get angry at wasp for stinging arms. Seek out nest.
2. Find nest and go immediately to garage to find shop vac.
3. Place nozzle of shop vac firmly into wasp nest hole in mud.
4. Turn on shop vac.
5. Listen with satisfaction to wasps being sucked up (swoosh swoosh thwap)
6. Run away when wasps start to seek out intruder.
7. Marvel at your very own genuis idea (shop vac will sound like it is filling up with wasps)
8. Go quickly to store to buy wasp poison when you notice wasps are crowding around shop vac and getting angry (order wife and children to stay inside house)
9. Spray poison around nest.
10. Spray poison into shop vac while it is still running. This will fill vac with poison and kill all wasps inside it.
11. Open shop vac when you think wasps have stopped moving.
12. Spray vigorously with poison when you realize they have not stopped moving.
13. Spray and spray and spray until no more movement is detected (remember to plug nose).
14. Inspect the mountain of dead wasps in your shop vac and notice with glee the hundreds of tiny wasp bums with stingers attached that have been embedded into walls of shop vac. The strength of the suction will have removed wasp bums and stingers at shop vac entry.
15. Call wife and children to come take a look, pat you on the back and take photos!
16.Consider just spraying the poison directly into nest next time.
