LOL! I can just picture it!
Neighbors from a distance watching Alan dancing with his pressure washer swearing badly and grinning from ear to ear!

The redhead is severely allergic to the red wasp, as well as bees and such. We always carry an EpiPen on board. If you ever get stung out there, and have a reaction, you sure aren't going to make a mad dash to the hospital at sailing speeds.
Down here the red/orange ones are highly aggressive, and love to build in gutters and under eaves. I deal with them from 25' feet away with knockdown spray, no mercy.

I was not as humane as you. I sprayed about 3 gallons of wasp spray, ant spray, roach spray, even some WD40 that I had nearby. Killed every last one of them. Sprayed, then jumped out of boat to run away from the defense team. Happened several times while trying to eradicate all. Was able to get away unstung. Found nests in mast, trailer tonge, wheel well, and throughout cabin. Guess you can tell I don't spend enough time on the Sea-Shell-E!!
