Does anything eat wasps?
 

This might seem like an odd question but after trying my best to coax a wasp out of my window and telling it exactly what i thought of it-by the way i am petrified of the pests i began to wonder does anything actually eat wasps?

Ooooh, I have no idea if anything officially eats wasps as a staple diet sort of thing.....Unofficially my old dog used to eat them, or try to.... She had several wasp stings in her mouth over the years and never learned her lesson. Don't waste your time trying to coax it out, it will only sting you. My advice would be club it to death with a rolled up newspaper, Accy Observer is especially handy for this task.:D

Try and get hold of a black widow spider - that should do the trick.

Usually i'll just shut the door and leave it till my hubby gets home maybe one day i'll have the guts to club it to death!!! My mums dog is so funny with wasps he catches them kills them in his mouth , spits it out and then cocks his leg up and wee's on it. Why?? i have no idea!!! Not even he eats them and thats saying something

Best thing to do when you've finished with a jar of jam in spring and summer don't wash out any bits of jam that you can't scrape out, put it outside, allow the wasps to go in to it but make sure there's no bees in there, slap some cling film over the top and pop it in the microwave and fry the little beggars.

muhahahahahahahaha

Rusty, my King Charles Spaniel, wandered into a nest of them when he was a puppy. It was a mad dash to the vets as they were all clinging to his ears. I dread to think how many times he had been stung.

He was fine and lived to the ripe old age of thirteen but if anyone buzzed in his ear he hid behind the sofa!!

Keep the little bad tempered turds away from me I have a mild allergy to the sting. And no its not the pain its the rash I get from just one of their stings eeeewwwww.

I was parked at temporary lights on Dill Hall Lane during the nice weather last week and one of little swines decided it wanted a lift! :( FREAK OUT!!! I've never been so scared in my life! The lights changed to green with a line of traffic behind and I'm sat there with a wasp stareing me in the eyes! I was just about to jump out and leave the car exactly were it was when it must have realised it wasn't getting a lift anywere off me and went back out the window! I literally wanted to burst into tears with relief when it had gone!

I know how you feel i was in my dads car once he got to some traffic lights and a wasp came in , i was in the passenger seat and was straight out the door, funny thing was my dad drove off and left me!! Good job i was near home, he thought it was hilarious of course.

You can get wasp traps - try a garden centre. Fill them with sugared water, the wasps fly in and can't get out. Eventually they get exhausted and fall into the water and drown. Works even better with a spot of sugared wine or beer, and if you're a tender hearted soul, you can console yourself with the fact that they die p****d and happy!

my philosphy is willow- bees are ok they die if they sting you, so there unlikely to do so unless you scare em or summat,so bees don,t bother me either.:)

At this time of year wasps are unlikely to sting. It's in the Autumn when they get drunk on ripe fruit that they turn nasty.

I've had a lot of them coming into the house lately and I just open the window and let them out. They can be beneficial in the garden as they do a bit of pollinating like bees.

I always put a jam-jar in the garden from about August onwards. I put a bit of jam in the bottom and half fill it with water then put cling film over the top with 2 or 3 holes punched in it. The wasps go in through the holes, attracted by the jam, but can't get out again.
