Wasps in December 18:30 - Dec 19 with 1097 viewstownblue

I've recently moved house and was just putting something into the loft and noticed a live wasp! Is this anything to be concerned about?

I could see what looked like a couple of very old paper Wasp nests but nothing significant.

Dunno, rules have changed recent years.

Stick up a notice of 28 days and see if you get away with it.

I shouldn't think they'd be doing any building at this time of year.
I've had some quite large nests in my loft a couple of times and they are not that difficult to remove as long as you take sensible precautions and are not at any risk of allergic reactions.

And their nests are usually a work of art.

I've meant to take one down on a couple of occasions and spray varnish it but the opportunity never arose as such.

They can be beautiful though.

I was told they never return to the same nest so at this time of year no reason to remove them.

I had a few live wasps around in school a couple of weeks and more ago. It is still quite mild. I guess a rogue few might be a little later going into hibernation or whatever they do.

Oh I mean remove it carefully with a view to varnish it and keep it.

Like I say, some of those nests are quite stunning.

They last fairly well in situ don't they?

You would need to take guests into the shed or the loft to show them though!

Try putting up lots of pictures of the Pope, maybe that will move it on.

Spray furniture polish at the nest, if nothing happens then you're fine, if they swarm out, run.

They lost at home to Newcastle Falcons, but beat The Dragons and Montpelier.

Next match is against the Sale Sharks on 27 December.
