Ridiculous dilemma (light-hearted)

I'm not scared of them, I'll come round and batter it for you ?

A work colleague has recently got a fake wasp's nest which she's hung up - apparently it discourages them from sticking around in your garden as they think the are on someone else's territory when they see the nest. Was only a couple of quid from Amazon, may be worth hanging one in your garden.

That sounds awesome ATB, I'll need to get one. I am now going to open the doors, keep your phone on ringer!

*only half joking btw*

I never understood the fear of wasps... what do you think they're going to do to you? Serious question, not sarcastic or anything, just curious as to what the fear is..

Wasps are evil and sting you just because they want to. I'm not scared of bees because I figure they don't want to sting you as they'll die too. Wasps however are nasty and sting you for the fun of it. Obviously this is fact because I said so ?

My Mum always leaves an empty jam jar open near the back door and if any do come in which they rarely do, they fly into the jar and get stuck to the sides ?

As for what i'd do..just open the doors, doubt any will come in they'll be too busy sticking to some melted irn bru ice lolly ?

Ali, they sting and it hurts like crazy!! The buzzing also makes my skin crawl.

Squishing is messy and if you miss they chase you - FACT lol. Wasps are nasty nasty nasty. I have the doors and windows open - but have a tea towel to hand which I can grab them with as they usually land on a window. I find them more of a pain when outside to be honest.

Hopefully you got the doors open and no wasps bothered you!

None at all, although I did get a stray butterfly but I helped it find it's way back out.

I have been stung 3 times in my life by wasps. Each time I was minding my own business and was stung. First time as a 5 year old watching my grandfather talking to someone. I admit to a phobia of them too.

I hate wasps. Absolutely terrified of them. Even thinking about them has my heart pounding and feeling slightly sick.

Fortunately our back door is through the conservatory, so if any do decides to come in and explore, they rarely get further into the house before I shriek and close the doors between the lounge and conservatory so I'm safe.

Blargh. <shudder>

We had an enormous bee in our bedroom earlier just because we'd opened the window! It was trying to get out so I ended up using a CD case to direct it to the open window but I was *** scared that it was going to sting me.

It took bloody ages to get it out so I ended up shutting the window. I will probably boil in my bed later!
