To think there is a wasp (or maybe several) in the eaves in my room?

Can hear something buzzing but too scared to look.

Heard similar a couple of nights ago but thought it was a fly or mozzie by the window. What do I do ? Call rentokil or similar in case there is a nest ? Am terrified of wasps. DH away for several days so not here to investigate.

Can't sleep and too scared to Google waspy info.

I was going to say it's probably a ghost, but seeing as your DH's away maybe not? Grin

Which would you prefer it to be a wasp or ghost?

Rentokil will be able to get rid of it even if there's a nest there.

But if you thought it was a fly/mossie, that sounds pretty small, surely a nest would be humming? There are plenty of flies/mossies around for them to make the same noise every night.

Put the wasps out of your mind, you're probably thinking worst case scenario because your DH isn't around.

Honestly, it's not going to be wasps this time of night Smile

Sorry, I should have edited that bit about ghosts out, I got more sympathetic as my post went on.

If you're concerned that it might be wasps, check your local council's website about pest control - my local council offers a free service for wasp nest treatment, but they don't remove the nest itself Confused.

Luckily I managed to fall asleep before I read your message about ghosts AgentZigzag :). It did sound like just one, but maybe the nest is further away in the roofspace ? I don't know whether there are nocturnal wasps (ghost wasps maybe ?)

Enfyshed that doesn't sound it would be much use !

Wasps only use a nest once. That's probably why.
