Wasps

[m7mcfc]

Last time I was stung was outside a blue pub the Dutton near the Arena (closed now) I even seen the fucker coming at me like a kamikaze pilot. Right in my neck. Fuck knows why the little twat decided to sting me I was minding my own business. Came from above me as well I just thought what the fuck and stamped all over it when it hit the ground.

Horrible creatures. If you kill one then more of the bastards come after you because the release some chemical when in trouble recognised by wasps from the same nest.

I can't recomend raid spray enough, great to see them disco dancing when being sprayed the seize up.

Was out with the family yesterday and my lads girlfriend got stung three times including one right at the top of her inner thigh. She couldn't sit down for over an hour.

You’re supposed to get the council to do it? That’s ridiculous

It wouldn't be free of charge and probably sub-contracted out.

we got a wasps nest in out guttering... thinking about blasting it with a hose.... I know youre supposed to get the council in to do it but.... why? (apart from you may get attacked)

As stated, you can get the Council in but there’s a charge for doing it. However, mid August means they’ll only be around for about 6 more weeks, after that they’re gone and never go back to the same nest the following year.

I visited a Racing Stable many years ago, David Barron near Thirsk, he had a small barrel of Honey in his yard, the wasp’s were attracted to it, dived in and got stuck, died, then removed.

You don't have to involve the council. Buy wasp killer powder from B&Q sprinkle it liberally round the nest. Best when the day is cold so they dont get aggressive .All dead in a couple of days.

If you do this, do it at night when they're all in the nest.

I made a huge mistake last year. I had a nest in a hole in the brickwork on the outside of my house. I filled the hole with silicone. Little did I know that they can eat through masonry, climb through tiny gaps and won't give up, kept finding dead wasps in the house for weeks on end.

Every bit as important to the eco system as the 'cuddly' bee. Have real attitude though.

Council round here aren’t interested. They only deal with rodent infestations.

Swallowed one last week .Wasn't there a song about that?

Perhaps you’ll die…

I’d have volunteered to suck the venom out…
