lotta wasps all of a sudden ...

(With the caveat that patio door and assorted windows are open)Just seen 3 wasps in the kitchen (which doesn't have the window open) and quite a few buzzing around close to the back of the house. Had a couple of persistent bastards last night and Saturday night which seemed drawn to SWMBOs Brandy and diet coke (presumably the brandy ...)Have scoured all around the eaves and roofline, but can't see an obvious entrance/exit. Not sure what the best time of day would be.Presumably the more frequent the sightings the closer the nest ?FWIW these aren't "classic" wasps. The yellow isn't as bright and they are a touch smaller. If that makes a difference.

They'll have Palestinian wasps throwing stones at them.

Hang on, you're not allowed to discriminate against wasps on the grounds of ethnicity

You know that they say about pets and their owners/slaves in the case of cats.

Its just as true of pests.

We've had a small swarm of hoverflies at the end of the drive on and off for a week or two, I've not noticed any wasps (not that I'd do anything if I did notice any, they generally annoy me less than flies do).
