Swarm of Wasps around Henry Street!

Ms.Sunshine

I was out side my house there about a week and a half ago and out of nowhere the sky literally went grey as a huge swarm of wasps flew overhead!!

People were stopping in the street to look up. I never saw anything like it.

I have since noticed a wasp or two just flying around my back yard!

Is there anything that you can do to keep wasps away?!...

Generally wasps have a life span of just under a month, let them have their day in the sunshine !

Are you sure they weren't bees 'cause wasps don't swarm..........Dave

Yeah, they will build those little nests under the eves of the house but there's never hundreds of them. Do you think they all arrived en masse on holidays or something? We get wasps every year.

If they really bug you get a jam jar with a tablespoon of jam and some water. A few of these jam traps will help kill a few. But, even better, are those electric bug zappers tat look like little tennis rackets. If one or two are ruining your picnic, they can be persistent little jerks, then this will take care of them.
