    Just moved into a house in San Leon and we have these 3inch giant wasps. Should I just burn down the house and call it quits? These things are insanely large.

    Apparently they just like to eat some bug and don't bother people, but they're the size of my pinky and I don't want to die.

    Not aggressive at all, I freaked out and sprayed one with wasp spray. Wasp and bees drop on contact. This bad MF just flew off like nothing. I did research and found it to be a cicada killer. Their actually pretty cool and docile.

    I live in Cypress, and there has been a lot of wasp also all around the house. Got our pest control to get rid of a nest we had near our front door

    Only obvious course of action is to evacuate to Katy.

    Quit worrying about wasps and get back to Splatoon. When you hit Level 20 they'll go away on their own.

    They are still annoying. And their stings hurt.
