Friday evening a co-worker from the CDC (it’s Kate, but y’all wouldn’t know her since she never comments) told me that there was a swarm of bees/wasps on the playground. They were in a place easily walled off to keep the kids safe, but knowing how winged insects like to take off with small children, I decided that they needed to go.
Enter Lloyd.
Lloyd, who is brave about all things fly-y, took a can of wasp killer and just sprayed those wasps until they were dead, dead, dead – and all their babies, too. The directions on the can said to ‘spray a few seconds, or until the area is moistened’, but he used the whole can (spray * spray * spray), which might have been overkill. (Time out for pun-induced laughter.)
(Are you done laughing yet? We’re on a schedule here.)
No humans were harmed in the making of this post. Some wasps really got it, though.
