I did have some wasps building a nest on my recycling bin, and they attacked my wife.

Like any movement and they attacked like a squadron.

So I got some wasp killer from Walmart.

Holy shit this stuff was deadly, literally intercepted the wasps in mid air and shot them down dead to the ground.

I was more worried about that killing the bees, so I decontaminated the whole area after I gassed the wasps.

Simple dish detergent diluted in water is just as effective.

If you show me the proof that this is true, and that it results in significantly lower number of bee deaths, then I'll believe you. I ain't giving you the benefit of the doubt without any substantiation.

You are reflexively knee jerk against the free market, and often believe in the dumbest bullshit as long as it paints the free market in a negative light, so prove that isn't the case in this scenario.

Wilson's Wasp Killer is da bomb.

It was fun. They stung my wife, that's a casus belli

This shit was like VX nerve agent.

The wasps were coming at me, flying right at me, and I was shooting them down before they could get to me.

The stream would hit them, and they went straight down, did the funky chicken for a second or two, then dead,

Good times.

I talked to a beekeeper about it, he said that it would kill bees, but on the other hand he sprays wasps too.

Basically just don't hose the place down with it.

A little squirt of wasp killer is plenty, keep it localized and minimized, and don't spray flowers, and it's all good.

Anyways, I asked him about neonicontinoids, he doesn't like them, but he says all pesticides are bad for bees.

Rotenone, copper sulfate, spinosad, hydrogen peroxide, azidirachtin and citronella oil, all bad for bugs, bad for bees.

Indeed. They are coming for my AR in Canada. My cousin keeps one for me in America tho, so I got a backup.

AR's are Restricted to the range here anyways, so it's kinda boring shooting an AR in Canada tbh.

No, I don't even use it much, I'm more into the 870, my main concern is getting ripped off in the buyback program.

I don't have any antique weapons, I'm all tactical, I'm not a collector.

Because it's Restricted to the range, the AR wasn't a good buy, I kind of regret wasting money on it.

If they give me what I paid for it, they can have it with my blessing, if they short change me tho, that will sting.
