Actually, this is not a metaphor, but a real situation. A wasp's nest just established itself right near my front door. Normally, I wouldn't care, and just stay away from it, but near my front door, obviously a lot of traffic. Wasps are pretty psycho, too. All it takes sometime is walking too near their nest, and they perceive a threat, and the next thing you know, attack of the killer wasps. And, unlike bees, wasp stings really effing hurt! They have to go...but how?
I don't really want to kill them, but I might have to. (My rule with insects is live and let live, unless they invade my space, then I do what I must). How to displace them without pissing all of them off and getting ambushed later??
Any suggestions?
