The gloves are a great idea! I hate getting that spray on me.
Also, if you get a nasty wasp or yellowjacket indoors, you can kill them very nicely with a heavy spray of rubbing alcohol. I wait till they land in a window and soak them down. The alcohol kills them as well as the poison spray and dries without leaving a residue or odor. (Well, I guess the dead wasp could be considered a residue!
) I always keep a spray bottle of alcohol on hand!
