Tennille was taking a shower tonight while I was trying to get my xbox gaming on. She let out her high pitched shriek, so I knew something would have to die.
A full sized wasp was hanging out on the window in our bathroom being a total peeping tom. He was going to be the first go.
I have a mild phobia of bees, wasps, hornets and the like, so there was only one thing to do. Suit up in as much body armor as I could find so I wouldn't get stung. Sometimes people ask me, "Justin, why do you a flack jacket and all this military 'stuff'?" Here's your answer.
After much debate about how to kill the guy, and we decided the best tool for the job was either a wad of paper towels or the end of a broomstick handle. The later was chosen and I went in for the kill. As I was about to kill the wasp, a little flicker of something caught my eye. It was another stupid wasp caught in the shower water in the bottom of the tub. With a couple of quick jabs I took them down. I felt pretty darn cool:
Here's the first victim:
And the second:
We're not exactly sure how they got in since we have screens on all of our windows and weather stripping under our door. Our best guess is either through the ceiling vent in the bathroom or somehow the through the AC. Last summer we had a few box elder bugs get in, but nothing this big. We're going to see if this was just a fluke one time thing, or if it's going to be a reoccuring thing...

Eww...i hope it's a one time thing. Glad you were able to take care of the situation.
Man, you're just like a Ghostbuster. Well, except you kill wasps instead of capturing ghosts, but it's close enough, right? I always knew your obsession with military garb would pay off.
