Wasps

· Posted: 29.11.2013 · #1

I opened the van door today and a wasp dropped down in front of me and when i looked there were 2 more embedded in the door seal ,i then went over to the passenger side and there were 4 more embedded in the door seal // were they trying to make a nest in the van and should i be looking in more places in the van for them , i was driving the van 2 weeks ago and they wernt there,, just puzzled i never came across this before

PS wife will burn the van to the ground if theres wasps in it

Best to just get rid of the wife, then investigate where the wasps are coming from.

It wouldn't have anything to do with that MASSIVE HUMUNGUS OVERLY LARGE WASP NEST at your gate?

Ffs there is enough of them over the summer without having them over the winter as well. The only way to get rid is to poison the nest, flames work as well

Yeah FC but flames won't work on a Motorhome. It might kiss the wasps but I wonder what the Insurance Company would say?

We had them making a nest in the wing mirror of the car in Spain, so they can and will try to nest anywhere

Got me worried now I had one come out of one of the air vents the other day when I was driving along. I was not a happy bunny with a dozy wasp flying around when pottering along on the Motorway. Hope it was a one off as I haven't seen another

For goodness sake could you all cope yourselves on. Wasps don't rule the universe. If you find a nest of them in your motorhome just remove it. I really doubt if they would build in a motorhome.

Let's kill them before they get near us that's always a good approach!

Dear Rev Jack,

I suffer from anaphylactic shock when stung by....not sure never know a bee or a wasp.
i had collected a brand new car two days and abandoned it on one of Cork's main streets because one of those critters came in the window so I left by the door.....anyone could take the car that day as long as I did not have to get back into the car with it inside.

I am petrified - them or me not both!

I can understand FC as Liz my wife has a thing about snakes. I'm fed up listening to her about them. Can't park the van anywhere near growth where she might think they would be.
