WASPS.

[lycoris]

So, you may remember my howling post about a wasps nest not too many weeks back. Well, I called a man, who called another man and this man came and killed said wasps. ("Don't go out there for a bit," he said. "They'll be a bit cross." I look out of the glass door, admired the enraged swarm and then go and lock all my windows because NO

Oh poor you and poor your mom and dad. I hate wasps/bees, I would be frantic by now.

It is very displeasing. The Wasp man laughed when we called him again and has now powered all the grates so this should mean that we are waspless for the foreseeable future! Fingers crossed anyway, I've had enough!

A good way to stop wasps from building nests is to get fake bees nests and hang them in areas you notice wasps trying. Every spring they pop up at our dollar stores and you can usually get some at home stores, like Home Depot (I think? Do you have HD or would it be, like, Lowes? I see them at Canadian Tire but, well.) They're just brown pop-up nests with a wire frame and they last all season!

Ooooh, good idea. We've never had to before - it's been literally decades since we had a problem (we had some bumble bees nest last year but we were pleased about that, bumble bees are nice!) But afterall this, we may well see if there's some about in the British equivilent!

Ugh, wasps. Horrible little creatures. Exterminate!

[lycoris]

They are all dead (again!) and the grates where they keep going have all been powdered so hopefully, NO MORE.

Oh no!
Wasps are awful things.

[lycoris]

They are! Enough of them!

[geekslave]

Oh, no! Hope no more wasps pop up.

I certainly hope not, there's been a ridiculous amount this year!
