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.

How is knocking down their house not perceived as aggressive?

Sometimes I forget to post the eviction notice in advance.

Last time I got stung by a wasp I was just standing on the street. Not a nest to be seen anywhere.

It came out of nowhere, stung me and got away. I stood there for a couple of hours after that and it never came back, not other wasp. So surely it didn't care I was there, it just wanted to fuck with me for no reason.
