Little blighters. I've just been chased by two of them that emerged from the dustbin bag I was trying to tie up - they really wanted to get me I'm sure!!! Are they nastier this year or am I imagining it?

I have a nest in the roof someplace, they are going in and out under the slates. I will have to get somebody out to get rid of them. Marion

Some of them are Euro wasps. Absolutely massive and really aggressive. Three weeks ago we had a nest of them in a shrub next to the front door. The nest was the size of a rugby ball and I only found it when I was tidying up in the front garden and they all went beserk. Reckon I had a lucky escape. Daisy

I'm definitely anti Euro (keep England English). So I will not tolerate european wasps -now going to get a good wasp killer. :-))

Marion, as far as I know - once the 'wasp man' gets them that's it - apart from a few strays. Safer for your grandson if they're out of the way. Get everyone to keep an eye out and he should be quite safe.

Marion Our wasp man sprayed the stuff into the nest and within the hour they were all done! We had people coming for the evening and just delayed them for half an hour to make sure. Daisy
