A Wasp?..........................

[craft1948]

Took all the presents, and wrapping paper etc into the bedroom to do all the wrapping this afternoon (a job which I hate.) After about an hour I heard a strange very loud noise, looked up an a sodding huge wasp was hovering over the bed!!

Squirted it with enough wasp killer to drown it..............where on earth has a wasp come from at this time of year?

that's a young queen wasp hibernating. Sling its hook before it free-boards next spring.

Wasp spray? Got none, so I would have used Hair spray...

lol Jem the daughter suggested that..............I don't have any hair spray and couldn't envisage waxing them to death.

I would have run away screaming and slammed the door tight shut until I could round someone up to deal with the vicious nasty thing.
Poor you.
