Iv just been attacked by wasps!

[Crimson Dynamo]

Stung twice on my stomach, twice under my arm and 4 times on shoulders and back!

I was doing front grass and i had not noticed a wasps nest under a small bush at my front door.

I always have wasps each year like under the back steps or in a tree or in the front air vent but i know where they are and just leave them to it and they leave me.

So i banged the bush with the lawnmower and the next thing i saw what i thought was a fly and got a sting on my stomach, so I thought it was a horse fly and then i got stung under the arm and they were all over so i flew inside and took off my tea shirt and they were like 6 in there and they just flew out and went for me. I was running around with a rolled up Daily mail in a fight to the death and the dog was going nuts.

Anyhoo im doused in vinegar and nipping all over.

Oooh nasty I absolutely hate the little *****

[Ray.]

When will society finally take notice and do something about the scourge of the white anglo-saxon protestant. :facepalm:

[Beso]

My worst nightmare. Get well soon.

[AnnieK]

Hate wasps....never been stung by one. Have only ever been stung once in my life by a bee that was chilling on my washing and I never saw it :sad:

Had a panic attack as I was convinced I would go into anaphylaxic shock and die.....obviously I didn't but felt awful that the bee would now die.

I wish death to all wasps though

[Zizu]

Have you any antihistamines/ allergy tablets ??

One will normally stop the pain fairly quickly

That’s not good

[GiRTh]

LT stirring up wasps nests even at home.

I'm curious about the vinegar. I never knew it was a wasp repellent. I'll note it for the future

Isn't it vinegar for wasps and lemon for bees ?

[GiRTh]

Isn't it vinegar for wasps and lemon for bees ?I didnt know that either. I wonder what gets rid of cockroaches and spiders?

[Cherie]

Oh that would be terrifying... good job you are not allergic, you would be ded

[Crimson Dynamo]

wasps hate the smell of vinegar. Its also good if you get stung as the sting is alkaloid, opposite for bees. TCP is good too

[Crimson Dynamo]

My daughter just recently got stung on her eyelid and her eye puffed up like she had been boxing - she ended up at the doctors as she also has eczema in her eyelids and the whole thing was a sh1tshow

Yep nasty little buggers, hope your daughter is fine now.

she is

they are not nasty that is a myth

all they were doing was protecting the nest and that is to be admired imo

[GoldHeart]

And peppermint oil for spiders and snails .

[thesheriff443]

My brother swells up if he gets stung

[Crimson Dynamo]

This Labour government is a disgrace

…my mom always would say…vasps, vinegar and bicarbonate bees…(…or baking soda…both b words like the bees…:laugh:..)…

[Ammi]

…putting conkers around the house seems to ward off spiders…a bit like vampires and garlic, I guess…?….with cockroaches, though…you’re probably doomed…they’re resistant to everything so they say…

[bots]

we have hornets down this way now. You certainly don't mess with them

[hijaxers]

Well my sadly deceased partner fell into a wasps nest when he was young , A & E counted nearly 200 stings and it nearly killed him !

I never knew about any of these cures. I quite sure I wont be putting conkers around the house. :joker:

…oh that’s horrendous, some people don’t survive one sting, do they…did he have a huge phobia/fear of wasps through adulthood from that trauma, Jax…?…

…hmmmmm, we’ll see when the big spiders start coming into the warmth in late summer…:laugh:…

I don't mind the spiders, they get rid of flies. We had a pet spider last year, we named him Boris....he was a beast. I miss him, I don't even know when he left us :sad:

[Beso]

Just pop one of these under the bush.
DON'T TRIP THOUGH.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240723/bd16a61f0268b067239c0ef1f9d2472c.jpg

…ahhh, he maybe went back to his family, Annie…but maybe if his children are all grown up…you might get little Boris/son of big Boris this year…?…

This happened to me at the weekend, somehow disturbed them and I was surrounded. I have half a dozen stings on my legs, stung me through my jeans, the little ****ers. Wasps are the skinhead of the insect world.

[hijaxers]

No not really ,we had a wasps nest -a big one in our kitchen roof and he dealt with it,they did a lot of damage , had to have a new roof on it.

Did you call him boris cause of his 8 legs?

[user104658]

Stood on a wasps' nest at the local park when I was 11... that was an experience. They chased me and a friend all the way home, stung numerous times and can also report that getting stung on the top of the head is the WORST wasp sting, there were 3 in my hair :worry:.

I love wasps, people treat them so cruelly trapping them in glasses and the like. They are very important to the ecosystem

They are evil little bastards, EVIL :fist:

Yeah people think they're just pests but they actually eat other bugs too (that eat the pretty plants) so they have their place.

I've also started letting the "skinny legs" spiders live in my house because I find them less bad than the big fat spiders, they tend to stay in their little corners instead of running around the place, and I read that if they're there the other chonkier spiders stay away. So they've become a necessary evil in my house. Keeping themselves to themselves, being left alone, and in return, guarding me from the big nasty spiders.
