[header] How to get rid of wasps [title] Swat the wasps. [step] The simplest, most direct way to kill a wasp is to smack it with a flyswatter. This only works if you are trying to get rid of a small number of wasps, though, and comes with its own pros and cons. 
[substeps] Note that this is a very risky tactic, however. Wasps are quick, and if you have slow reflexes, you are likely to get stung when the wasp flies away and tries to defend itself.
