Holy shit that's sent a chill through me, they're the only thing i'm scared of.
Snakes, spiders, etc don't bother me in the slightest, but if a wasp comes anywhere near me I run around like a screaming little girl.
Don't fuck about with it, especially if there's a chance you could get an allergic reaction from a sting.
Get it sorted by professionals ASAP.

Hit it with a stick then leg it into a big lake before you get stung.

The thing is, I don't fancy going the same way as Macaulay Culkin in My Girl. Anyway, the pest control guy's coming out this afternoon. |

Ask him to hit it with a stick and leg it. And tell him to film it as well. |

It would appear I have one in my loft. Saw loads of the buggers buzzing around the eaves this morning.
I've called pest control and waiting for them to arrange to come out, but in the meantime is it safe to go in the loft and see how big this thing might be?
Wasps will protect the nest to the death (your death probably). Stay well clear. |

That'd work for bees. Wasps are territorial so will just go at you until you get far enough away. I learnt that from the tv show '999' with Michael Buerk |

I had one last year in the loft too. Just left them to it as they vacate it come winter and don't return.
That's what I thought, they missed 1 year, then came back in the same nest last year. I still left them being of buddhist outlook. |

The guy came round when we were both out, he sprayed some powder but has completely missed the hole where they've been entering.
The wife informed me that there's baby stuff in the loft that we're going to need so I chanced my luck. Got up there, saw one wasp, shat my pants and hot footed it back down the hatch.

Good lad Sam, make sure that one wasp is exaggerated to 80,000 killer wasps when you tell the wife why the baby stuff is still up there.

Territorial wasps, stinging alongside regular bees.

Remember to take a straw so you can still breathe though. |
