How do you kill a wasp or bee that has gotten into your home?

Any suggestions? I always whack them with my swiffer. Just wondering if there is something I havent thought of that might be better.

my old navy flip flops work best for me - seriously beats any other method i've tried.

I don't like to spray anything in the house, so its always fun when watching me try to chase the thing down.

Good luck! Hopefully someone has some better adviceChat Icon

You just slap them with the towel? When they are in the air or when they land on a wall?

I use a catalog or fly swatter, which I ever I can access quicker.

Ditto! I have 2 and 1 cant be bothered but the other makes a whole game out of catching bugs! I recently had a HUGEEE bee in the house and I was freaking out... I immediately ran and woke my cat up from a deep sleep just so he could catch the damn thing LOL Works every time... Chat Icon

Same cat also brought me a dead mouse and left em on my kitchen floor... That was an interesting day... Im sure he was VERY proud of himself Chat Icon

I dont have a cat but even if I did, I would be afraid my cat would get stung and I would still kill it myself if I could!

I wait until it lands somewhere for a while then vacuum it up.

I could never whack it...I'd be afraid I'd miss and then the thing would sting me to death! Chat Icon

Inside, you can spray them with hairspray. It makes their wing stick together and they can't fly. Of course, aerosol is better so you get a good stream, but I am sure pumps are good too Chat Icon
