Wasp Alert! Don't Get Clapped by the Whole Squad 🐝

The Deets

Okay, fam, listen up. Wasps ain't just annoying, they're playing 4D chess out here. If one of those stingy little guys stings you, it's not just a one-time thing. They leave a pheromone marker, basically a "threat level: certified hater" tag that lasts for like 8-12 hours. Other wasps can smell it and be like, "Oh, HELL NAH," and come at you. Like the whole squad. It's a whole mess.

And word on the street is, if you try to clap back and crush one, you're just asking for trouble. When they get squished, they release alarm pheromones. That sends a signal to all the other wasps nearby like a bat signal for backup. Especially if it's one of their family members. Then you're really cooked. The whole crew might roll up on you!

The solution? If you get stung, wash that area ASAP with soap and water. Get rid of that pheromone tag before you become public enemy number one in the wasp community.

The City of Moose Jaw also dropped a PSA because Grace Street will be closed for the Grace Street Gentleman’s Club Car Show. So, if you wanna peep some rides, that’s the place to be! But fair warning; stay away from barricaded areas and do what the signs say!

Plus, wasps are low-key doing bits for the environment, too. Wasps aren’t just annoying stingers. They eat skeeters and garden pests and buzz around, carrying pollen. Even horntails (a type of primitive wasp) are low-key vibing in dead or dying trees, doing bits by eating the wood

Oh, and peep this: The European paper wasp? Straight up invaders. If you see one, report it to Dr. James Tansey.
