Bald faced wasps. I was on antibiotics for weeks after one followed me into the house and bit me once on the foot. My foot turned purple and swelled up so much that I couldn’t wear a shoe.

You ever check out the ingredients in it. something like 10% alcohol.

While in high school I was lounging on the porch one day with no shirt. I had the cat laying on my stomach and I felt something crawling on my neck. As I slapped my neck the cat was startled and flexed her claws into my stomach as the yellow jacket that I had just slapped stung my neck. To this day I despise yellow jackets. And I’m not a big fan of cats either.

I have been very lucky as far as wasps and bees go, BUT there is a fly that has yellow wings, that really causes nasty swelling when it stings/bites me. Not sure but we locally call them strawberry flies. They are out all summer in my part of the country (South Jersey) Even worse then pine flies.

Do you mean mud dobbers? I’ve been told they don’t sting, however, I was stung and I’m guessing their muddy stinger gave a huge infection.

I love my palm trees, so I’ll just keep trimming until they are too tall to be a bother.
One trick:
Spray them with the water hose FIRST. Get the stream on the UNDERSIDE of the fronds, where the wasp nests are. If you see a bunch of wasps suddenly fly out, then get the insecticide spray and use accordingly.
I once grabbed a frond to cut with the loppers and suddenly my whole hand felt like I had just grabbed ahold of a live electrical wire. I knew immediately what it was and have been extra careful ever since.................
