Re: Wasps!
I have been having those huge Queen wasps coming in my kitchen for the past 2 weeks or so. Whopping great things they are, and I hate 'em.I'm frightened of getting stung, and the dog will too, if they don't stop snapping at them!
I deon't care how much good they are supposed to do, they still sting!
Evil little blighters.

Re: Wasps!
There are a lot of wasps about early this year, I guess it is due to the mild winter.I think there must be a nest near my garage, every time I put the light on one appears.
Last week I was undressed ready for bed and cleaning my teeth in the bathroom when I became aware of a loud buzzing.
I looked up and a huge hornet was circling the bathroom light
I had to get past it to get the long handled duster from the airing cupboard to wack it and was scared it would land on my bare flesh .I manage to creep past and deal with it.

Re: Wasps!
Every year I have them in my roof space. Course every year I have the boiler serviced and guess where the flue is?
I used to get someone in to zap the wasps before the boiler service, so whoever comes can go up there safely to check the flue. Then I realised they never actually go to the flue to check it - they just stand looking up from the ladder into the loft hatch and shine their torch at it.
I can't go up there (it's a phobia
) so have never actually seen all the nests. But the surveyor took pictures for me and there are loads.
