He sprayed it a few times, it acted real sluggish and tried to fly around more. He must have sprayed it 5 or 6 times, and then it fell, yes fell, down on the chair and he hit it. It was not able to move much at all, thus making it easy to kill it. Hair spray will slow it down, somehow, and then you can wallop the bugger. Kill the thing. Just thought i would share this. If you hate wasps and bees as much as i do, this might help you also.

Louel was right ~ it coats their wings/body & stiffens them so they can't fly. When they're "frozen", you can kill the little suckers and rest easy. I've been using inexpensive strong-old aerosol hairspray (from the dollar store) to immobilize all flying insects (flies, bees, moths, mosquitoes, etc.) for years. It's much cheaper & I fell a lot safer using that than those nasty (toxic?) bug sprays.
I think just about any spray would work, but then I'm not an expert. I just hate wasps!
I have sprayed bugs that got into the house with the Foaming Bubbles bathroom cleaner. It's a thick white foam. Immobilizes the bug and you can just pick it up with a paper towel and toss.
When you have bees, houseflies, or anything that flies, spray them with strong hold hairspray. They can't fly because their wings freeze and get stiff. Then, just kill them.
