Raid makes an "Earth Options" wasp spray which is supposedly eco-friendly and not a biohazard.

Right. Not a biohazard. Not even to... well, wasps. In fact, I think it functions more like a friendly warning, the equivalent of shaking your head and saying, "Tsk, tsk, naughty wasps!" This is a product that's marketed to people more worried about how much bug sprays stink ("Fresh Clove Scent!") than whether it actually works. Because apparently these people don't live in Florida, which is human-habitable only because we poison everything meaner, more aggressive and more dangerous than us. Which is everything.

Anyway, I learned about this kinder, gentler, eco-friendly approach while trying to evict the wasps from their new nest on the mailbox.

haikujaguar: Whoot, good-bye, wasps! *spray*

Wasps: LOL SMELLS LIKE CLOVES

haikujaguar: Uh-oh.... *sprays more*

Wasps: HEY LOOK A HUMAN

haikujaguar: *flees!*

So, yes. The wasps laughed off the clove-scented eco-friendly spray. I came back with the Raid Neurotoxin-in-a-can and took great pleasure in watching them drop-dead midflight when a single drop hit them.

You don't mess around with some things. -_-
