    Flemein Hornots got in for me again

    As the title says in my shed this morn building them carry cradles for tiger an been usein the niosey jigsaw an something flew past my head an had a look an it came for me lookin as big as a lancaster bomber OH BOY was i scared an just grabbed for the wasp killer spray an quickly give it a good sprayin an it chased me out of my shed so i just opened the door an inch an give loads of spray in side an then i thought that will settle his hash an gave it 5 mins an then peeped in an the bloomin thing came at me again an i ducked an it flew away now it makes me wonder if these bugs are gettin resistant to the poiuson spray Aaaaaaaccccchhh
    when i go back out into the shed im goin to have a good look around as this seems to happen every year to me horrible things

    Find a ball about 4 to 6 inches and paint it a dusty brown colour. Hang it in the shed where it can be seen.
    Wasps will see it and bugger off again thinking the place is taken. Wasps stay away from other wasps nests. A hornet is 'just' a bit wasp.

              In my experience fly and wasp spray only works if you hit them with the tin Chris. I think they spray inside is just there to give it weight….we get a lot of flies around here (next to a livestock farm) so I ended up investing in an ultraviolet bug zapper. Works a treat…..

                We used to get a huge amount of flies, the farm across the road was a breeding station for pigs. But the farmer has moved it to another farm .
                Couldn't have a window open if it was not netted!
                We got some fly spray from the farmer. Very effective.

                    Chris .
                    Unknown to you these are bred by your dear friend ( yes you guessed ) A highly modified generic strain of the Patagonian Killer Wasp. Insecta: Hymenoptera: Sphecidae.
                    There is no known deterrent apart from fire !

                      Actually the only time it smelt was directly with mucking out. Otherwise not really.
