I piped Hydrogen Sulphide into a wasps nest.
Killed them, though I was stung a couple of times.
Then I burnt the nest.
Smelly though.
I recollect Calcium Carbide being used to kill wasps - I presume it was the Acetylene, though as I was only 9 or 10 at the time
I cannot be 100% confident of this.

You really _did_ finally understand the experiment and now you're just
trying to do damage control by clipping the part that shows you had no
clue that a passive clamp-on ammeter uses a toroidal transformer for the
