As a pest control professional, I assure you that wasps aren't trying to fuck you up. They get aggressive in the late season but for the most part they won't fuck with you unless you are a threat. I've knocked down countless wasp nests with my brush and only been stung a few times. Those times I got stung I was really asking for it by how I went about it. They're also accidental pollinators so they do help more than people think.

I hear that, I did some things accidentally once, but the stubborn judge insisted I go on the register anyway!

Gotta be careful where you drop pollen these days.
