Wasp in bedroom

119 replies

My bedroom window is open and a wasp is in and on my bedroom light on the ceiling. How do I encourage it out? Don’t want to hurt it.

Just scrolled all the way through hoping that someone would explain what is a werzel but no. What a let down

TheFifthTellytubby · 08/04/2026 22:19

Saw them last weekend - very entertaining! Think I'd know if one of them was hiding inside my lampshade though... 😁

Kill it. Kill it dead. It's pure evil.

A queen slid inside a pair of my fluffy socks that were on the floor yesterday - needless to say whilst nursing an ouchy sting on my foot it was given a good send off. Wouldn't even contemplate rescuing one.

My foot still hurts 24 hrs later 😬😬😬

I see your fluffy socks. And I raise you. Christmas toilet paper. Wipe after wee. Wonder why it hurt.

At this time of year they're pretty docile. I point at the open door or window, tell them the exit is that way and they get the hint. The ones that don't oblige get doused in kitchen spray or whacked with an old Private Eye.

I would just thwack it with a towel. Fuck those bastards. They'll sting you without a hint of remorse

Exactly this I attack with a can of
hairspray if I can’t get them out they are vile!

The fucker was hiding under my bedside table lamp! Now decamped to bedroom. Wasp can have its private party alone!

Why oh why did I read this thread before going to sleep?! Now I'm going to be thinking about mid daubers and queen wasps in fluffy socks

Hairspray is how I deal with the little fuckers, then I give them a dignified water burial down the toilet via the dustpan and brush.

It is getting that death sentence tomorrow morning. Last night alive in my bedroom.

Sorry I read op post too fast, thought she said werzul

This has raised more questions that it answered.

Thank goodness it’s gone out now…I can finally go to sleep! Grin

Hang on though, are you absolutely sure it’s made an exit through the window…???

You were right it didn’t want to leave. Too fucking comfy in MY bedroom on MY bright warm lightbulbs! It hid under my bedside lamp then reappeared like the terminator.

No no, it's my own fault!! The content was obvious from the title, I'm absolutely terrified of them but I just couldn't stop myself...

SplendiferousKnickers · 08/04/2026 22:57

You'll get ants now as well with the honey 🤣

Not to mention bears 😂

Morepositivemum · 08/04/2026 22:58

Just thank goodness it wasn’t a werzel.

I’m not scared of them just don’t want it as a house mate nor for it to sting me.
