You know we have had some really hot weather for a while now , well iv'e just realised after hearing someone talk about it .
that in all my trips to bury hill, boxhill etc etc so far this year i haven't seen a single wasp

.
now some of you who went to bury hill last year around this time will know the place was swarming with them

so where are they this year

(not that i want them attacking my ice cream again

)

Maybe they all took my heartfelt advice last year?

It's me !
I've managed to destroy the nest in the roof before it developed into a metre wide pest factory

Seriously, there have been a lot less of them around here this year, so STOP COMPLAINING

Was having the same conversation last weekend! I have not seen a single one all summer. Have had a problem with them in the past, I went to get something from the loft summer before last and moved some boxes and there it was the biggest nest I have ever seen. I got back down the ladder quicker than I have ever done with the little *******s in hot pursuit luckily they took more interest in the bare light bulb and attacked that instead of me. I rang a pest control bloke and luckily he was only round the corner and was in the loft within 10 minutes killing em all. He said the nest would contain 5 or 6 thousand of the things. Horrible. I am terrified of the things.

They tried last summer to make another nest at the other side of the house but I got some powder and covered their entrance hole and sure enough a day or so later all gone, dead! Kill em all! Do they serve any purpose? Bees I have no problem with, theyre ok.

Dont like rats either. Had one of them living in my loft a few years ago used to keep me awake running around all night. It also ate the ignition leads under the bonnet of my car!

Sorry I,m going on a bit now.

You wait, they'll be back soon enough. When the fruits really ripe on the trees...............watch out, the're drunk and dangerous.

LoL,

Rob

we seem to have loads of bees but i dont think I have seen a single wasp but as rob said wait until the fruit trees start throwing rotten fruit on the floor. Anyway Im not missing them so far
