Gah, wasps!

[Muttley]

I hate the fuckers, and last night when I was putting the boy to bed I heard a weird scratching sound from near his window. Turns out there's a bloody nest in the eves. Was a really, really horrible sound/thought. Gave me the right heebie-jeebies.

Anyway, had the pest control bods out this afternoon and they've sprayed the next. The whole lot should be dead in a day or so (good job too, as apparently in late August a nest can contain around 10,000 of the little fuckers.

No chance of getting the nest out though, as it looks like it's in the wall cavity.

Doesn't matter, they don't reuse them.

[kalmar]

10,000? That doesn't sound right

The scratching sound is it scraping wood off the window frame or whatever to use to build its nest. They're clever little things really, I like them but do get nervous if there's more than one around at a time.

And the way the back of the wasp never seems to be very well attached to the rest of it also freaks me out slightly for some reason.

Wasps are cunts.

[Flabio]

They don't use the same 'hive' twice (although hive is pushing it a bit as a term, Bees they ain't). They're omnivorous (unlike bees), they can sting lots of times, and are generally aggressive litte gits.

Still comedy gold if you let them drink a bit of your pint. They really can't hold their drink.

Many years back, they made a nest in an old rolled up carpet my dad had left at the bottom of the garden. He doused it in petrol and set it alight. Which worked unsurprisingly well.

I hate these little fuckers, and the thought of their nests all coiled inside feeding them out like some obscene biological machine-gun just makes me want to do something involving the phrase "Relativistic mass event", and no that doesn't come with fucking wafers.

I. Hate. Wasps.

I've never met a hornet. When I eventually do, my scream will be audible around the planet. The sound of my nearest aersol can meeting my lighter will be but a soft sigh.

What a nice lickle hornet like this ?

...obscene biological machine-gun...

If I had a band, that is what I'd now call it.

Oh fuck right off! Please say that's trick photography.

On the subject of wasps my mom had a lucky escape a few years ago. She was just about to pick up what she thought was a football the kids next door had kicked over into one of her bushes when she realised she was just about to pick up a wasps nest. Eeek!
