Giant supplied a tetramethrin-based spray that claimed to go 22 feet. Also, the tetramethrin sprays weren't the ones labelled "environmentally friendly" -- the eco-conscious bug spray was made out of patchouli, or the sweat of yogis meditating on wasp removal, or something. With its cheerful green and brown cannister, it didn't make a very convincing case. I don't want the wasps to see it and think "what a beautifully cylindrical patch of ground!" No, I want them to think "the legends are true -- the doombringer has come". And I think the black and orange can of Raid I got accomplished that task nicely.

And yes, I did deploy the poison prior to retrieving the tea, and yes, I am drinking my first glass of it right now. But c'mon -- the jar was loosely covered. It'll be fine.
