Wasp in my room.

[AniaSM]

There's a wasp as big as a shoe in my front room. Should I get somone to kill it with a newspaper or try to put it outside?

[China Doll]

it's possibly a hornet if it's that big and they are more docile than wasps so less likely to sting despite their horrific appearence so if you're not scared then do try and get rid of it. (Although if that baby does sting you then you will really know about it!)

Failing that, get someone who's not scared to deal with it.

I hate bugs but I don't like killing them... I usually make an exception for wasps.

give it one more warning and if it will not leave , then whack it with a slipper.

get some raid on the go!

or open a window and he will go in his own time

Put the poor little thing outside. (Place glass over wasp. Slide card underneath. Take outside and wave goodbye).

Last Sunday I decided to have a lie in. However, I had to get up to let a wasp out of the window. Having done so, I went back to bed. Half an hour later, I had to let another wasp out. Then I went back to bed. Shortly afterwards, I had to let a bee out. This time I decided it was time to stay up. While I was in the bathroom I kept hearing a buzzing and I searched everywhere to locate the wasp which was making the noise. After several minutes of scratching my head, I realised that the buzzing was coming from my neighbour's strimmer! ;-)

It seems to be watching "Have I got news for you." I think Ill leave it until the morning. Thanks folks.

There was a big bee in the living room this morning. Later I lost sight of it. Much later I saw it walking across the floor and it was huge. It seemed very docile so I got it to walk on to a piece of paper, took it to the back door and launched it into the air. I am not usually this bold, but it was so quiet that I was not scared of it.

I always put a glass over them, slide a piece of paper under and take them outside. Spiders, on the other hand, get sucked straight up the hoover! I hate doing it, and I really wish I could deal with them in the same way - but I just can't. Any advice would be welcomed.

If you put it outside it will fly into your roof.

It's big because it is a queen.

It will start a nest and by late summer you will be under siege.

Kill it.

And I'm allergic to their stings, so don't ask me, either!!! However - bad as it is, you'd die if you lived where i do. We have wasps nests in the woodland, and no word of a lie, these things are all giants!!!! I hardly dare leave the house around October time when they're getting dozey. It's seriously frightening!

[hussy]

now thats scary icey... when i see them i start screaming and run about like a headless chicken!! not a good sight!!

[Ice.Maiden]

No, no, I'd be only inches behind you hun!!! last year, i went into the utility room at the back of the house, put the light on, and started sorting out some clothes from the dryer. When i turned round, five of these huge objects were flying crazily round the window frames. I don't know how they got in, as everywhere was shut. I screamed blue murder and belted out of there, but didn't sleep all night, in case others were in the house somewhere. My husband got up and got others to help him to do a check, I was so scared!! This's is genuinely true. the wasps are awful - all as big as hornets, or bigger!!

[hussy]

i would be the same icey.. to scared to go to sleep.
not good!! my fella on the other hand is a bit of a face but put him infront of a spider and crikey... he sh1ts himself and can"t even look at it!! totally scared witless lol

[Ice.Maiden]

Oh blimey - that's MY other half as well!!!!! He hates spiders. That's why I bought him a wind up toy one for his birthday, as a laugh. He found it funny - but seriously wouldn't even touch it!!!!

[hussy]

i wouldn"t even go there... its that bad lol x

[Ice.Maiden]

Well I mean...this thing was about 50p from a joke shop in Norfolk. It's quite cute - black and furry, and belts along the floor at full speed when you've wound it up. My husband's face was a picture, and it just cracked me up. How could he not like a TOY?

[Ice.Maiden]

Need the loo. Brb.

[Ice.Maiden]

Read this, everyone. The huge wasps we get aren't hornets. We've had someone down to look at them. Trouble is, where I live, it'd be an awful job to get rid of them all. During the early part of the year, we don't notice them so much, but by the end of last summer....I can't begin to tell you how scary it is just to see one!
