Default Plague of wasps?

Anyone else suffering a plague of Queen wasps?

We're getting around 8 per day in the house on average.

I can guarantee one in the bedroom by around 0600, given the sun hitting
the
east facing side of the house.

ps the only other people I've heard of with the same problem is out
adjoining neighbours, whilst the next neighbours 50m away wonder what I'm
on
about.

I'm wondering now if the wood chip paths between my raised beds has
anything
to do with it?



Check your loft. We had a neighbour with the same problem and they had
a wasp nest in their loft. We also had a wasp nest in the roof at
school, which was discovered when lots of wasps started appearing in
certain teaching rooms. I have also heard of other people having this
problem particularly in the countryside. Might be worth a look.

Too early for nests. These are queens looking for a nest site.
