Wasps AAARRRGGHHH

[White Noise]

Hi all anybody else having problems with the yellow and black menace called the wasp . Here in Cheshire I had to cancel a Felling job as loads of angry wasps about . Yesterday we removed a Eucalyptus tree and Leylandii and then went to trim the hedge but found more angry wasps . The little blighters are starting to play havoc with my workload . Gotta love em

An acquaintance of mine was rushed to hospital yesterday due to a wasp sting, he'd gone into anaphyllactic shock in the garden, and collapsed just in front of his door. Talking to a pest controller, he cant keep up with the workload right now, has had to leave the rats to/ get on with it, as the wasp calls are taking all his time. Oh and watch out for those nasty European wasps, they are hardcore.

No wasps this year but 2 bees nests. Had to don the bee suit yesterday with the help of a bee keeper and try to save the little fellows

Hammering my lab this year. She snaps, they sting her, she hates them even more and snaps at them even more etc. etc.

 

There are a lot about this year.

Last year my friends Beagle snaped at a wasp, she had a reaction as the sting was in the throt. She got rushed to the vets but unforchantly had to be put to sleep. She was only 18 months. be carefull.

They were going mad yesterday over some willow logs we had just cut! Had to blow them with the blower so I could get near the logs

We had wasps and Hornets to cope with today.

 

They were lapping up the fermenting sugar in the sap of the Willow we were reducing today.

Amazingly, not a sting amongst us

Yes, Been helping the farmer clear brash dumped by a few ~other~ tree surgeons.

Well brash to me means brash, not a whole Eucalyptus Tree. The Wasps went wild over it. Anyway, he decided to sort it out with his tractor and get all the big stuff out for logs, Lucky me, as I pay my rent by providing him with a 20 ft container of logs and this was the last load to fill the container.

 

Have now got 2 stings right below my chest and on left arm, hurts like hell.
