No more than a few moments ago my sister and I had an epic three novel length battle with a wasp from hell.
This thing was hovering across the roof (we're both under 5'4") so we couldn't smash it with a book. So we tried sprays. But we don't have bug spray, instead we used disinfectant sprays, windex, and then OFF. This thing would not die.
Until, finally, we got the broom and smashed it. We spent a good 15 minutes trying to bring that thing down.
tl;dr, we need men to smash bugs.
