must be a cockney thing mick ive not seen one wasp this year~think as for brian saving your life you old git i would have pinched your pole and your fish~clap

Was chatting to a guy at the Glebe yesterday, we were both saying about how few wasps there were around this year.

I reckon it must be down to your magnetic personality Mick,
, LOL

I cannot answer the question Mick. Last Saturday i witnessed an horrendous wasp attack. The guy had just got there and was setting up in peg 15 at our local club water. no one knew that where the pool meets the bank there was a wasp nest and this guy must have either kicked it, or annoyed the critters enough for them to go into attack mode.
The outcome was 22 wasp stings and going home, before setting up, poor bloke.
Your right though, there does seem alot about.

Greenie only rushed over to help cos you shouted that you needed a little prick in your bottom !

I’ve hardly seen a wasp this year – although I did get stung at Willinghurst on Sunday. The first time I’d ever been stung in 50 years.

Apparently there are loads at Sumners Mick

Having just read Paddys post, it must be an area thing.

I honestly have seen fewer wasps in this region that I can remember ~think ~think ~think

Definitely less wasps here in Suffolk and Norfolk than last year. A friend of mine works in a cider factory and there are a few wasps about there as you may imagine! He confirms that last year was the worst year ever but this year is not too bad. I put that down to the cold winter.

TBH I have destroyed 2 nests in the garden and had to get the pest control man in to destroy a nest in the loft this year. However if people destroyed the nests as soon as they saw them, there would not be so many wasps about.

Must have them all in Herts then!

So far this year,have had Four nests in the loft(One still there) whilst my neighbour has had Two. Also had a nest over my kitchen door,which was vacated very quickly as i spotted it early doors & treated quickly.

As you say Mick most of you’r(so-called) mates know you,r problem,and where you keep the remedy,i have to say though getting anywhere near your arris is a daunting prospect to say the least.~hand ~hand

I was stung 3 times last week. There seems to be loads around Oxford as well. I am catching 20 a day in my traps. I hate the things

Mick you want to take a few jam jars full of sweet liquid, like dilute jam with a paper top. Put a hole in the paper so the wasps can get in but not out again. Place them close but not too close around and it will keep any wasps away from you.

No wasps for me either!

bookie you woosie, tourney pro is that a newname for the lady of the night lmao,

I’m more worried about you Mick than the wasps, every time I see you I get stung for a load of cigarettes because you have run out ~hand

pikey missed you little dig he he so not only are you a guru of sloppy paste but also of PENIS AS WELL, ILLE HAVE YOU KNOW YOU WOULDNT WANT MINE AS A WART ON YOUR FACE LOL ps makes me wonder why you had so many male drivers to your fishing destinations touche

not seen many wasps till thursday morning when i was sat on the throne,now what do you do sat getting rid of a curry and the blooby things start to come through the bloody fan in the bathroom, lets put it this way i aint getting the nest out therefor fishing so just keep popping in to spray ant powder in it

ive not seen any fishing maybe 1 or 2 all year and think it depends where you go
you do get the odd place that always have them its worth ringing around a few fisherys to see if they have wasps
The unit i work in yesterday i came out with a piece of marble to dry and in front of my face was a swarm about 15 metres by 15 metre i closed the door looked out and the seagulls were going mental at a distance i then ran around to the shutter door tried closeing it but the forklift was in the way i turned the key nothing it was in gear it then started and moved it forward then i closed the shutters then went back to see this massive swarm but they had completely gone~think

this happened so fast i could not focus on one insect perhaps this might of been bees as a slight movement with wasps and there chaceing you
thinking about it ive never seen massive swarms of wasps

I don’t like them myself,
Hope this is a great help to you,
Mick change your soap,shampoo,and washing powder,
This is what i did and not had any problems since

I’ve seen very few this year until……

Driving to evesham yesterday one decided to crawl up my trouser leg and sting me whilst still driving. Had to pull an emergency manouvre whilst killing the wasp by grabbing a handfull of my jeans and then once stopped carefully rolling up my trousers to remove the little fecker.

I hate wasps and am petrified by them. The whole incident gave me an adrenaline headache which I can’t shift and i’ve been twitching at the slightest itch on my skin ever since!
