Does that perhaps depend on the species of wasp, or maybe the reach of the wand?

IIRC, there was one youtube video where the little bastards went straight for the dude's face during shop-vac'ing. He could smell the venom they were trying to spray in his eyes.

When one of the wasps (or hornets?) went straight for his GoPro sensor, its face filled my large monitor and I nearly had a heart attack.

Please share the link to that video if you can somehow recall it! Sounds better than most of the junk I've been watching on Netflix lately.

There are a number of people on youtube with these sorts of videos. Hornet King is a favorite channel of mine to watch that also has good information.

Be sure to put a mask on your vacuum nozzle. And wear a mask without obvious eyes.
