Feckin' Wasps

Dartz

There is nothing quite like the panic that awaits, upon waking up to discover a half a dozen wasps in your bedroom droning overhead...

****ing more of the ***** appear each time I open the door, inspite of emptying a half can of flykiller into the room.

I'd have rather wasps over flies.

I fricking hate flies, annoying little bastardos.

UPDATE:

They do not like being blasted with piss.

Spiders work just as well on all manner of bugs, so I let them live :cool:

Get yourself a Waspinator (can't post a link but google it!). Works for me

I haven't seen as many Wasps this year as I have during the previous summers (thank christ). But there's still no shortage of flies though.

Hate the fcukers seems to be lots lately and they are in attack mode.

There was about ten thousand of them at a tree across from my house yesterday just flying around it,they were all over the ground too dont know what was going on as there is no hive there.They eventually fecked off,seems odd that.

anncoates

You kinda have to admire how badass they are though. If they get that aggressive with things the size of humans can you imagine how much they terrify other insects.

Banjo String

The pet shop in our village sells these feckers as pets.

He had 2 in his window yesterday, fcuk knows who he expects will buy them

A shot gun is the only solution.

I'm always amazed by the number of people who don't even know what a wasp is. They have cried wasp at the sight of bees, hoverflies etc. And they also don't realise that there are many species of wasp in Ireland with only 2 species that sting.

Suppose it would make for some entertainment!

This year I have noticed a huge lack of bees, wasps and flies compared to normal. Not a good sign, if the bees start to go we won't be too far behind them.

Do you keep your windows wide open at night or something?

I have 3 big spider webs in my room, 2 on the windows and one on the ceiling, very satisfying to hear an irritating little fly buzzing around and then the sudden silence.

Im worried about spider babies now though.

Little bastards. :mad:

You're not looking in the right places. It has certainly been a great year, so far, for Bumblebees and most other insects.

These are cool got one years ago.

SpaceTime

I seem to be seeing fewer wasps than other years here in Cork so far.

Madam

Haven't spotted any in Scotland so far. They don't frighten me anymore since I was stung on my left boob by one, the sting was like a red hot needle piercing my flesh but nothing I couldn't handle if it happened again:) Dirty, nasty things though.

SpaceTime

They actually keep the other insects under control all year.

The problem is the wasps' political leader is a heartless dictator known as 'the queen'.

Around this time of the year she shuts the hive down and leaves all the workers out to starve. They go around aggressively hunting for any food they can find.

You'd be grumpy if that was how your mammy, employer and dictator treated you !

MJ23

Lad, either go out the way you came in, or sit down and shut up. How many fcuking times are you going to ding off the window?

demanufactured

Have seen loads of the bastards this week alone...
Hate them...nasty *****.

Electric tennis racket is the job.

I'm fine with spiders if there's not too many of them and they're doing their own thing. It's more the times when you notice a big category 3 one rappelling down from the ceiling of an evening, about to plonk itself on your chest.

The Singing Beard

I have a Venus fly trap and a sarracenia ... My plant friends usually take care of the little Kilkenny bastards.

Twas a three course meal of death.

The biggest portion was Carlsberg. I don't know if insects can get drunk, but there were a lot of oddly flying wasps about.

The others were maple syrup and honey. If they didnt get stuck in it, they got stuck getting away from it.

I don't just declare war on them, by the way.

A hive got a sniff of something in a wheelie bin. Over the course of a week, I put the plate out on top of the bin and then moved it further away each night to draw them out of the bin.

That was just a days work and they drank all my beer :mad:

Jeez might get one of them so, they were a feckin nuisance at Electric Picnic last year, you couldn't drink an open pint in the arena with about four of them trying to get in, there was a few stings too.

Spanish Eyes

Yea, put a bowl or plate out with a few spoons of jam, sugar and water. Mix it up. Leave for a while...

Watch the fun.

I like bees though!

Dartz

A nightmare is climbing up a 2-story ladder with a can of Raid and emptying half the can into the nest - only to get hit in the face by a swarm of dead and dying wasps dropping out of the thing.

Then have the person holding the ladder give a shriek of fright when he gets hit by them all, try to shield himself and kick the arse out of the ladder in the procces.

I suppose I got lucky and it jammed against the window, otherwise the ***** would've had the last laugh.

There were at least a hundred of the ****ers or more on the ground.

antodeco

I've hated wasps ever since My Girl :-(

wilford

2 cans of Raid sorted the nest in our shed sprayed through a hole in the door sorted my nest the last few left about 10 ofthem where at least an inch long never seen them as big.

Have noticed a huge influx of them this summer alright. Hate the fúckers. Love spiders, they stick to themselves and don't bother me, especially not when I'm out having a pint
