The full story is, my landlord opened up the box to show me a lot of water laying in the bottom.
He put his hand inside and got stung.
Then lots of bees/wasps came out and started buzzing around us.
He wanted to show me the water laying in the bottom because he had earlier removed a bill that was soaking wet, and gave it to me. He wasn't stung that time.
But because 6 to 10 of these bugs started buzzing around us, I'm a little apprehensive of setting them off again by spraying them.
I was hoping there was some dry powder or chemical that I could put in there, run away and go back when the deed was done.
