do you tend to kill them or let them out side.I tend to kill them as then there is no way that one wasp will come back.What about you?

Wasps mean nests. I am allergic. I would try and find the nest, then call someone to deal with it. Then no more wasps. I wouldn't want to take chances.

I kill them. If I could let it outside without killing it it would be great but I am usually just interested in getting it out of my face as soon as possible. I just dont know about wasps. I clearly do not want to get stung by them. They are not the most dangerous of stinging insects, but they are still bad in terms of that.

If I can kill it YAY! Otherwise I try to suck it up in the vaccuum and then take the canister outside and dump it & hope the wasp was in with the rest of the items sucked up in the canister when you tossed it. Usually that's what works for me.

I try to kill those wasps. If I am not able to kill it I will open the door so that it can go outside. It is a very painful sting. Have a great day

Hi jugs...I do the same thing..kill them! Who has the time to try and let them outside. I have a grandaughter that lives with us that is allergic to their sting. I have a epi pen I keep here to give her a shot right away if she does get stung. I have always heard if you kill one then others will smell that you have killed that one and will come in a bunch. I don't know how true this is as it has never happened to me. flutterby

As an apartment manager of many years, I learned if a wasp is around there is a nest nearby, they don't go far from the nest like bees do. I used to kill them as there were many kids out playing. I had the exterminator over for another problem and he taught me to get rid of them all, by freezing the nest at night when they were all there! they have a spray that shoots a freezing liquid a great distance, I used it a few times over the years and it works good! tdemex

If I can safely get them out I do, I try not to kill anything I don't have to. I know that they have made a mistake coming into our home so I try to free them.
