To set my house on fire

[AradiasDaughter]

I've found 9 wasps in the bathroom. All near the bathroom window. I hate wasps, they freak me out with their little stingy arses and dive bombing. They were buzzing all over it. No idea where they've come from, no windows are open upstairs. I managed to hose most of them into the bath plug hole (please tell me they won't come back up and fly out- I've put the plug in just in case). The rest got jet washed outside the window. Went upstairs and heard a buzzing and there was another one on the window again! I've told the LL and she can't come and sort it until Thursday. What do I do in the meantime? Do I need to go on a wasp nest hunt? I don't fancy it. I've got two little kids (3 & 2 year old) who sleep in the room next to the bathroom. I'm scared of the little bastards being all annoyed at being stuck in the house and stinging the kids when they're asleep.
We had a wasps nest last year but that was at the front of the house. The bathroom is round the back.

To Mercury and anyone else taking vicarious offence on behalf of Grenfell victims: fuck off.

Wasps hate peppermint.
leaving some peppermint oil on cotton wool balls near windows keeps them away. We had an infestation a couple of years ago and now the house smells like toothpaste but no wasps!!

OP, open your mind and drink gin.

I read that they are attracted to bathrooms because of all the sweet smelling shampoo and shower gel. So you may want to move that sort of thing out of the bathroom or put it in air tight container and mop up any spills until you find the nest.

Op, try the council or a private pest control company. You have done your duty to the planet by speaking to a beekeeper.
I once had wasps in my kitchen- all joking aside, it is very unsettling.

Haha thanks Damia thanks everyone, didn't realise that peppermint kept them away. Im a qualified aromatherapist (don't do it for a job) but I have that oil so I'll make sure to drown the bathroom in it.
