Default Damn Yellow Jackets

They are trying to nest under the handles of my rolling trash bin. I got stung a bunch of times on the middle two finger of my right hand when I started to bang STARR!'s hairbrush on the handle to get the leftover hair out of it. Right now I'm buzzing on benedryl. Watching myself of adverse reactions to the stings, I used to have an allergy to bee/wasp/yellow jacket stings.

No don't have any bug spray around, this is the first time I've had to use any bug spray in years. The last stuff I used to have is probably now banned by the EPA and every environmental group around because it was so toxic. One of my son's girl friends used my last whole can up to spray some roly-poly bugs in the basement, it was only available by commercial sales reps. Cost me about $150 for a case of 12.
