Wasps Take Over Spare Bedroom

[pokerfan]

An exterminator working in St. Cross, UK, recently had the unenviable tasks of removing a horrific wasp nest that had emerged on the bed of a spare bedroom.

According to pest controller John Birkett, there were as many as 5,000 wasps in the hive. His client, who lives alone in the five-bedroom house, had not been in the spare room for several months before her son opened the door and saw the disturbing scene. She had left the window open during that time.

2. wow, that's quite a build up

in several months. They never heard any buzzing, or saw a stray wasp flying through the house?

3. I've seen a Yellow jacket build a golf ball sized next

in half a day, but still... leaving a room open to the outside and never visiting it is a little odd.

4. a few years back on here

somebody had posted a picture of an old abandoned pickup truck in an abandoned barn that was basically a gigantic yellow jacket nest.

I think this may be the article:
