Yep... damn wasps!

Most of us are enjoying the gorgeous weather, with windows and doors open, and the blighters are queuing up here to come in and spoil it.

I've had more exercise at home than at work... as soon as I hear that buzz, I'm out of the chair like a 'jack-in-the-box' with weapon in hand.

Anyone else suffering?

Wasps - the apache helicopter of the insect world. Nothing eats them, they have no natural predators, armed to the teeth and they lay their eggs in caterpillars so that the babies eat the caterpillar from the inside out as they grow. Generally nasty things, only to be outdone by hornets

Huge numbers of Asian hornets, already responsible for the deaths of six people in France, could be on their way to Britain this summer
