I HATE wasp! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So my hate for these things has gown even more. I was on my way out the door to start heading to work. When I get in the car and start it up, I hear a buzzing from my left, so I turn around and BAM! A wasp right next to me on the back window. I then rolled the back window down and it flew off. 2 seconds later I hear another one! I try not to freak out and let it out. I then drive off and have to stop for gas which is pretty much around the corner. I get in the turning lane when I hear ANOTHER ONE!

I roll all my windows down while I'm getting gas. Once that was done I decided to ride with the top down to make sure I got all of them out. Luckily it was a beautiful day outside and I was debating out letting it anyway on my 40 min drive. So it looks like I going to start keeping my baby under the garage for now on.

Yikes! At least you didn't get zapped by one. I just came in when it was getting dark, and the mosquitos were RIDICULOUS!!! I won't be driving my car close to dark if I can help it. Keep the wasp in Arkansas!! lol

You might want to make sure they're not nesting in your car.

I had a Stang vert for work a few yrs back... while driving, felt something hit my head, then fall on my shoulder, went to wipe it off- got stung on the neck....

Of course, I blame it on the Ford.

Yea I was going to check in the morning. Though I don't think they had a chance to build.

Ford must've really wanted you to feel the stang.

The correct procedure for "clearing" any nuisance insects is a slight hand motion CALMLY brushing down and away from you body, not slap your neck and make it sting you!

What are these wasps & mosquitos you speak of?

I think they are mythical creatures you only find in warmer climates...

Those little buggers can build a nest fast! Check the door area, and under the hood. That is where I have had them in the past on various vehicles. As you know, so not cool when you are driving and a wasp is flying around you! Good luck!
