WASP!!

[Scared But Happy]

There is a flipping wasp buzzing around the light in the spare room. WTF is going on? Its too early in the year innit?

[Piglet]

I expect you've got a nest of them. Look out for the rest of its family - they'll be just starting to wake up

[Scared But Happy]

Oh, thanks ... Its now terminated.

[forthright mc]

as a precaution you might want to get the pest control out and let them take a look in your loft just in case there is a nest of the little bastards just waking up.
hate wasps the only creature that truly terrify me!

I have two of these brilliant inventions. They turn fly and wasp swatting into a sport.

I got some old boxes down from the loft a couple of weeks ago and stacked them in the corner of the office. Two days later a big dozy wasp emerged and was buzzing round the room. There's something really satisfying about killing wasps

[Scared But Happy]

Hate them with a passion.

Ohh i'm getting one of them. Also for future reference do they cause much pain to a person, it could be very easy to "accidentally" hit someone with such a thing.

Yes I had to find that out for myself the hard way - the small sticker telling me not to touch the grill while it's switched on just wasn't sufficient. I can also tell you that while 'Fudge' hair wax smells edible it actually tastes of washing up liquid.

Never heard of a wasp at this time of year, most odd! It raises a very interesting question - where do wasps go for winter? I'm pretty sure they don't hybernate or fly south. Where do they all go?

[jmorgan]

Probably a queen woke up early and looking to start a nest somewhere. Usually on her lonesome until nest found, eggs laid and hatched. They lay up after leaving the nest at the end of the season.

I like wasps. They don't sting you if you don't do the flapping around like a looney thing. I give them my banana skins, and they appreciate it. Unfortunately they do seem to have a tendency to commit suicide in my bedside light - the only incandescent light source in the place.

I have been getting wasps in the house at odd times over the past couple of months, there must be a nest somewhere...

Was it a huge wasp? I had a few very tired and lazy wasps come out of the roof in my house a couple of years ago at this time of year, I called the pest people who said not to worry it wasnt a nest- cant recall the name he used for them but understood it to be the females starting out to breed. I'm intriuged now I need to know the name!

[Mrs Fish]

They were bigger than usual

I took great delight in killing them, especially after that one that stung me.

Just been reading...

'the huge wasps are queen wasps and they hibernate over the winter in buildings or trees, they come out in the spring to start building new nest'



Reason to kill these huge things, I quote (wont let me cut and paste) 'A queen wasp can lay as many as 2000 eggs a day'
