WAsps, wasps and more wasps

With all due deference to those who point out that wasps are a generally good thing on balance, if they get to be a nuisance or a pest which destroys fruit&veg then war must sometimes be declared. With extreme reluctance, I had to call in Pest Control to deal with 2 nests that were too close to our car-parking area. Most years, wasps become troublesome and dangerous in late summer. Not so this year, they started dive-bombing and threatening last week. Personally, I suffer pain only from wasp stings, but any of my students may suffer far worse and the thought of one going into anaphylaxic shock as a result of a sting is far too serious to consider.
