Last winter when it was still warm enough for yellowjackets to be out roaming for sugar I left my monster on top of my car, when I went to leave I didn't think anything of it and took a big ol swig of yellowjacket and monster. Managed to spit it out without getting stung but I quickly realized they get desperate for sugar really fast

Buy yourself a champagne stopper. They clamp on to the rim of the bottle and are pretty strong. Also, find a place to store your champers "partially upright" (leaning a bit is OK) in the fridge.

Get a small handheld vacuum, letting the bugs go away on their own doesn't solve your fear of them if they can just come back, if you can dispose of them it'll be less likely for this to happen again. Hand held vacuum let's you get rid of them without getting too close.

I have firewood inside for the wood stove, super handy for little bugs.

Stephen Colbert had a hilarious intrrview with Tom Hanks this week where Tom introduced him to the concept of Diet Cole and champagne. Colbert said it was wierdly delicious and might ultimately prove to be his downfall. Google Colbert Diet Cokagne

Same. When we first moved into our house (built in the late 1920s), the windows didn’t have screens, and it was mid-summer so the stinkies hadn’t been around. We’d left the windows open through September. That was when I discovered that they had infested my bedroom. They were in my dresser drawers. My purse. Covering my curtains. IN MY FUCKING BED. I put on a pair of pants and one was in the pantleg and I didn’t realize until I felt it squirming. My husband had to stop me from purchasing a flamethrower and burning it all down.
