Default I don't bleedy belive it!



Last year staying at my sisters cottage we had to call out the wasp exterminator to get rid of a huge nest in the loft

One year on, same place, 2nd day here another bleedy wasps nest in the loft after we'd seen wasps going under the eves.

Different nest, this one is thankfully about one third the size of last years nest. Still its a bleedy nuisance, as we'll need to call out the pest man again

Last year the pest man said the wasps wouldn't return.

Last years wasps were a bleedy German variety.

Our holidays in Norfolk are cursed, we've never had a week of warm weather in August. Low and behold the weather has changed for the worst this week.

Next year, off to the Fatherland for us, at least all the wasps will be in the UK

Oh thats not good. If there are two species I could rid the world of it would be ants and wasps.

We had wasps build a nest in the same part of our loft for about 3 years on a trot. We removed the nests and cleaned it all out properly but they still came back.

Poor wasps, finding themselves a nice safe warm home and along you come and evict them! Each one has a brain the size of a pin head, they come in beautiful colours and they hunt irritating pests. What is not to like?


Now this is a cool wasp, the Tarantula Hawk Wasp.

Quite easy really, when the nest is only a couple of feet away from my kiddies bedroom, in the loft space, with direct access through gaps between the ceiling and window, as its a quaint country cottage

So the buggers can feck off
