Title: Wasps
Post by: Richard Shepherd on June 27, 2012, 07:46:21 pm
Cleaned a house today that is 3 storey at the rear. It has a decking that I have to use my ladder to get to.
Anyway, Climbed up today jumped onto decking pulled up WFP and started cleaning.

Had only done 1 window when I felt a sting on my leg, looked down and their was loads of wasps coming up between decking boards, I chucked my pole over rail and and shot down ladder. Finished up with 3 stings on leg and one on my hand.

Needless to say I didn't do the back  :D

Did a house near Exeter last month and could hear what I thought was a motorbike coming up the road. Loud enough to hear at distance over my music.  It was a swarm of bees flying at about 20 feet that passed me by without incident. Very pleased they were obviously feeling laid back  ;D

My mate refused to do a couple of windows on the back of a house today, there have been bees in there for the last couple of years and we have cleaned without a problem. Today they were very actice so we just gave it a wide birth, just in case.

The wasps nest will die during the Autumn months and the problem will be over then.
