Doc Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 I would have been stung to death. I've been stung quite a few times now for some reason they like my blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'd have been more worried if I were the house owner. At least the pest control expert has the proper protective clothing, but if 10,000 angry disturbed wasps suddenly came through the loft hatch into the house, it could have been very nasty for the occupants. 44 minutes ago, Smithysteve said: They like dry, clean, posh looking places - I would keep an eye open regards your man den! ?? I once found a small wasps nest inside my obsy dome. It was only about 4 inches across and the wasps had vacated it. So they definitely do like man dens.

When it was occupied. I bet those nests have pretty good sound insulation. Probably good heat insulation as well. That entrance tube along the rafters almost looks like some type of loft insulation.

+Bino-viewer Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Beautifully intricate feat of work by the little wasps. You have to admire them. They never use a nest twice though. Back in 2009 i discovered that hornets were nesting in the house opposite us. Now they would give you the shivers. They are triple (yes triple) the size of wasps.

Stephen Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The last house we had we had a large wasps nest ,The people who came to take it down sprayed the loft and shut the loft of for so long then went back, you could still hear some of the wasps it took a bout 3 hours to clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
