Anesthetize wasps and move their whole colony without hurting them. Does that sound crazy? It might be… but I did it anyway. See how. (from youtube)

    Well I hate wasps slightly less now. Nicely made video by the way. I do pest control as part of my job and I’ll avoid killing any unless theyre inside a building after watching this, although we just get mud daubers here.

      Why kill mud daubers? They kill spiders

        Because our clients are in hospitality and ask us to and we do pest control. Some of them actually want to save the spiders not the wasps lol

          Sounds like a conflict of interest, buddy. You’re scared spiders and daubers are gonna take your job!

          A second level of predation is a sign of a healthy ecosystem and means there are enough excess spiders for the daubers to eat.
