Eglu Go & guinea pig zippi run

[BeckyBoo]

Only three huge ones, (not hornets, we had enough of them in the summer ) have just flown into my kitchen through the open back door. We had loads of wasps this year so I can only assume there ie / was a nest nearby, but not a wasp for weeks. Now three big, angry ones lazily buzzing round my kitchen looking for trouble!

I'd check your eaves and your loft, maybe they have made a home nearby. We had a lazy one in our living room. Lookeed the size of a hornet so it must've been a queen. Managed to shoo it out eventually. Quite scary things really.

[Guest]

Yes they do, but 3 doesn't constitute a swarm.

 

I get the feeling I may not be aware of some technical term in 'swarm'! Are you meaning some sort of travelling for the winter months?

[Seagazer]

Unbeknown to us we had a nest in our loft. One night I went to the bathroom, turned the light on and the bathroom was full of wasps flying around. I slammed the door shut and got OH. He got some fly/wasp spray and bravely sprayed the bathroom. In the morning there were what looked like a 200 dead wasps. Had to get a man in and he said it was a huge nest.

[Guest]

very scary!

Oh dear. I'd have a hunt around Mrs B. They're probably sleepy now but there will be more of them somewhere.

It was just the fact that we've had none come in for weeks, then I opened the back door and three flew in almost straight away and together, so I wasn't sure if there would be more of them, I know our flying ants all lift one evening in August to go and do their thing, I wasn't sure if wasps all vacated a nest in the autumn - I know nothing about them other than they are a nuisance in my book and I got stung by one when I was camping
