Can you help me? This is not really a gardening problem but.......
It is only spring but I have already found 4 wasps in the house, and
been stung by one already. Why am I finding so many? I'm surprised to
have a nest already.

I don't understand why you have been stung, the only ones around at the
moment will be queens, and as far as I'm aware they cannot sting.

It will be entirely queens just now but I think the queens can sting
but that is a guess.



You have two choices, either swat them, or encourage them to go outside
and find a place to nest.

To move them outside, take a tumbler, cover the wasp with it, slide a
piece of card over the opening, hold it over the top of the glass, take it
outside, as far down the garden as you can, and release it.

Quite easily done.
