I have a mid-grade phobia of stinging insects and arachnids.

I once blew a few hours to anxiously watching youtube videos of people destroying nasty wasp/hornet infestations. (I'm still not sure why. Probably some mix of morbid fascination and aggression fantasy.)

The soapy-water-shopvac trick appeared in a lot of those videos. (Less commonly: thermite, or quad-propeller drones.)

Same w/ "bees," but not arachnids. Also blew a few hours watching nest extermination videos. I generally wish the best (within reason) for our non-human beings, but it was very cathartic.
