Kill me now. Because this is the outside of my house, and I am more scared of bees/wasps/hornets than any person you've ever met in your entire life.Just getting this picture was terrifying.

You could make your own honey! ... ?
ReplyDeleteWow, you are a very glass-half-full person! lol :D
ReplyDeleteum, yikes! I'm not scared of them, but this picture is sort of intimidating!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm......my husband usually just knocks them down with a broom and then runs. I would NOT recommend that. :)
ReplyDeleteI empathise. Whilst bees and wasps don't frighten me (but I am seriously allergic to them) a big spider in the house would have me sleeping in the car until it was removed. You might have to get in pest control for these critters though.
ReplyDeleteUg I HATE bees and wasps...you can get sprays and stuff that are supposed to kill them i think though..i remember my dad mentioning that he'd had to use it
ReplyDeleteI would be very careful... they look like hornets which are very aggressive. I am equally terrified of stinging flying things. I hope you get those removed!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried a wasp catcher? They are glass and you put in a bit of sugar water. They go in from the bottom and get caught. I will leave some links so you have an idea what they look like.

Eeek! That would leave me seriously freaked out... I hope you get them taken care of soon!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like hornets to me. Get some wasp/hornet killer from the hardware store,and wait until an hour after sunset. The spray will go approximately 20 feet, so you won't have to stand near it. Spray well, and then look for activity the next day. If necessary, spray again (after dark, of course, as they are sleeping at that time).
ReplyDeleteIt's time to move!
ReplyDeleteUgh! Yellow Jackets... call someone!
ReplyDeleteThats a terrible site! Bats and bees? Small price to pay for such a cute house!
ReplyDeleteMy brother works as a pest exterminator. He could get rid of those for you in 5 minutes. I bet it would be worth it to call in a professional.
ReplyDeleteOh crap! I am as scared as you, believe me! I would rather choke in the house with windows closed all summer (and winter)than risk a bee/wasp enter!!
ReplyDeleteGet someone quick to come take that down and away from you!!
My experience has been horrendous! Blast the nest away NOW otherwise it's only going to grow bigger! Take care..
ReplyDeleteuh oh! those are some nasty looking wee beasties!
ReplyDeletegood luck hdidng from them... ;)

Oh wauw , it looks like Art !!, but can believe that you don't like them so near at your house !! have a great weekend Amy Xxx...please send Amy your address in a email !!
ReplyDeleteblek this gave me chills!
ReplyDeleteaaah!!
ReplyDeleteThe nests on my house are left alone if they are not in my path... be and let be... but I have removed nests myself as soon as the weather chills again. When it is cool outside, 50 degrees or so, they are lethargic and do not move. So I knock the nest into a bucket and take it to the adjacent field by my yard. Problem solved humanely.... no poisons, so eco friendly too.
