Queen wasps epidemic?[slightly OT]
"David Hill" wrote in message ... "....I hear what you're saying, I just don't understand why they're a nuisance ......." If you were allergic to their sting you would. I make every effort not to be stung by wasps - it's not difficult - because I DO have a general reaction to their sting. a general reaction isn't the same as terrible swelling and itching, that't not an allergy, in case someone reads this and doesn't know.

"Trevor Appleton" wrote in message ... Mild winter or hot summer? We have never had a Queen Wasp in the house B4 in the winter. This winter its about one every 10 days all winter long! I have had either: (1) 2 queen wasps in my loft in about 3 hours or (2) one queen wasp with a remarkable resistance to Tetramethrin and d-phenothrin. I don't like wasps (aversion to being stung, which can happen how ever careful you are) but can tolerate them in the garden. However (especially as I hope to sell my house this year) I don't want them nesting in my loft - not the recipe for a successful viewing IMHO. I presume they have been over-wintering in the loft and are now looking for somewhere to start nest construction. NIMBY! or in this case NIMBL! Cheers Dave R |

"David W.E. Roberts" wrote in message ... I don't like wasps (aversion to being stung, which can happen how ever careful you are) Yes, it can happen even with great care. But I wouldn't kill all - or any - wasps just in case I was stung. It doesn't make sense. I didn't kill honey bees in 25 years of beekeeping either - even though I sometimes had a general reaction to their stings too. Mary |
