Give over lass, I don’t mind honest - I’ll answer to anything. So far I’ve had Pest, Pasta, Pesto 
My daughter does that. I am allergic to the stings from any stinging insect so try to avoid them, but I do take pics of them carefully:-), if one gets in the house, I try not to make it angry, they do know where out is & can usually be gently persuaded to exit.
Sometimes I shout "get out of my house please " or “go away” and do you know they do buzz off .
I must remember this when I’m flapping
A bit like football hooligans then!
That would be worrying, Pasta.
The problem is that you can’t just set fire to them, like you could do if they were in a safe location outside - at night, of course.
They are rather beautiful to see, amazing construction, but such a shame they are made by such nasty creatures. How did they get rid of them?
Wasps should certainly have been at least stingless, if not butterflies.
If I had the bottle, I’d poke my head through the loft hatch and pull my tongue out 
or maybe sing to them 
- that would surely see 'em orf.
Shame I can’t get myself to go up there 
They find where they are getting in and spray there, then they go up in the loft and set a smoke thing off and close the hatch.
I do worry about the boiler men though as wasps are attracted to light and the boiler men shine their torch on the flue to check it. So far though, nothing’s gone after them. To quote Spity - phew!
Hi
Wasp grubs make excellent fishing bait.
Hah. Yes, a definite similarity JBR.
Yes swims they do, many years ago I used to work with someone who would poison the nest to kill off the adults to use the grubs for bait, I think he used cyanide or arsenic, or something, can’t do that nowadays I wouldn’t think
So if someone poisoned the nest, how come the grubs didn’t die too? 
Imagine using poisoned grubs for bait, then eating the fish that had just ate arsenic. :shock:
I think it was in very small quantities
Actually if you are very careful and the bumble bee (they are the little fat ones with stripey jumpers) is very busy they will allow you to stroke them… very sweet creature’s unlike wasps who enjoy stinging for no reason.
I have done that many times Summer but move slowly and BEE very gentle. If they are bizzy working on a flower when I stroke them they will often raise just one leg, or is it a paw? to prevent me getting too close. I always have to tell my youngest Grandkids not to " Try this at home"
I have to say I have never tried that although I can see why you would want to interact. I once had a bee’s nest in a tree, not sure what they were but they were black & white fluffy little things. They reminded me of my black & white cat so I was quite happy to work amongst them in the garden and they seemed to accept me plodding around.
My husband lights wasp nests on fire:shock:
But then again, he gets stung a lot too:cool:
