Every fall, we have an invasion of wasps called "meat bees". Their sting is incredibly painful and on top of that, they will rip a hunk out of you to take home for dinner. You can't get away from them as they are in massive swarms in the hills around us and all the way to Lake Tahoe. When I have a couple hundred bees trying to aggressively eat me, I don't care how many I take down first.

Our "traps" (in normal years when the meat bees are in normal numbers) we make traps with raw bacon, a plastic zip lock bag and soapy water. The bees also seem to like orange juice.
