Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Believe it or not this is a thing. There is some disease that is killing the world's wasps or maybe bees and everywhere has it except Australia. I met a guy from Australia that breeds them to sell to Europe as all ours are dying, you find single dead ones on the golf course all the time. Well I for one am convinced.

TheCelt67 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I'm sure the same tactics could be applied to a wasp nest...in an attic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 A couple of summers ago I kept being woken up my a single wasp. I would dispatch it but the next morning the very same thing would happen. Not the best start to the day. I had no idea where they were coming from because I don't leave the windows open at night. I started getting super paranoid and taped up all the air vents but, every morning a single wasp making that horrible, harsh noise as it flew around my head. Then the next time I changed my pillow slip I picked up the pillow and ...... a freakin' huge wasps nest RIGHT UNDER MY HEAD!* No, not really, they were coming from a very small hole in the ceiling from a rewiring job. Obviously there must have been a nest in the loft. * The pillow thing is partially true, for a few nights in a row I heard scratching at night, but only at night when I was in bed. I thought it was mice and put down traps. Nothing was caught but I could still hear the scratching. I then either changed or turned my pillow over and underneath it was a giant furry moth!

Boghead ranter Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Moreover, changes in habitats have resulted in a vast increase in wax moths attacking wasps nest for their paper at night time - the time when wasps are completely helpless (they have zero night vision). For the Saxon wasps who like making their nests in bushes it's not been so bad, but for the common wasp that likes making nests in corners of buildings or under eves, they have proven a very easy target.

Grim O'Grady Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Waffen is lying. If you find a nest, hit it with a brush until it breaks up. Cover yourself in honey for protection first. Health & safety. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Wife and I went to our local branch of Denny's once, only to find the car park full of wasps, and a huge nest hanging down from the eaves above the door. The restaurant was still open, and they'd put a sign up saying "BE CAREFUL - WASPS", which was nice of them. Naturally, we went in - their pancakes are excellent. Made me wonder, though - how long does it take the wee buggers to make a nest? Denny's are open 24 hours, and it was right above the door, so how did the nest get that far without someone noticing?

Waspie Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Wasps are fannies. Make an example of the single one. Mutilate its corspe. Send a message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 obscure comedy reference no 1356: just stick a sign on your wall saying "No Wasps"... ..possibly accompanied by a sign saying "Get to Falkirk". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If suggest the reason for that is that it didn't happen, as you clearly made the whole thing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met a guy from Australia that breeds them to sell to Europe as all ours are dying, you find single dead ones on the golf course all the time. It would be bees that are being exported as there have definitely some been exported to Canada. Aussie bees are supposedly free from most bee diseases. European wasps are a fairly new pest here as 20-25 years ago they were never sighted in most parts. Most councils have schemes to obliterate the fuckers.
