… why, even after scoring a direct & close range hit with a can of Raid Wasp Killer, does the wasp spend the next 45 minutes buzzing around the floor like an epileptic in a gabba club?
What part of ‘wasp killer’ was meant to be interpreted in any other way than ‘this bitch is gonna die fast’?
I suspect the EU have removed all the potent chemicals from my can of Raid, and the spray merely prevails upon the wasp to give up the fight. Presumably, the natural lifecycle of wasps means it will indeed die, eventually. I doubt they could demonstrate cause and effect.
In future, I expect that my can of indoor insecticide will merely shower the six-legged miscreant with demoralising propaganda leaflets.
Can’t wait.
Die, bitch.

They asphyxiate which is why they have death throes. Raid effectively makes it difficult for them to breathe and because they have so many nerve centres and no actual central brain, they are head dead immediately but not brain dead, remember even a dead wasp can sting for up to 40 minutes after it has been killed. Thats why they buzz around like something on speed…Its the same with headless chickens running around.
That’s your scientific explanation. If you need anymore clarification I’m sure google will inform you.
