yeah, keep one in the glove box...you never know when you might need it ...especially whilst doing 100km/h down the freeway and a huge huntsman walks across the inside of your windscreen

Don't meddle with wasps nests.
Very dangerous :eek:
There are usually hundreds in every nest and they can kill :scared:
Call in an expert.

Tel me about it I feel like my leg is on fire, All I was doing was happily mowing the lawn and the little buggers (not the word I used at the time) got me on the leg at the same time. Neighbours probably think I'm mad and really didn't get a good view if they were looking in my garden cos I ran accross it stripping my clothes off and screaming as I went (trust me not pretty)

If I knew where the nest was I'd get a wasp murderer out but I cant find it.
When my dad was a kid he got stung all ver the head by a swarm of bees and the doctor had to keep him knocked out for 2 weeks or the pain would have killed him, He didn't admit to my nan that he actualy stuck a stick in the nest which is why they attacked until he was about 45. Boys eh :rolleyes:

My brother almost did that last year.
Luckily dad saw him and stopped him just in time.
The fumigator guy they called said he was lucky.
It was a particularly large nest in the roof of the garage and contained more than a thousand wasps :scared:

definately lucky, if 2 stings hurt this much i dread to think how much a 1000 would.

Very lucky brother i'd say

Does anyone actually know why wasps exist and do you get them in OZ, i'd rather killer spiders than wasps

Oh, I remember that and remember chuckling to myself as I remembered one rental house I lived in in Brisbane....the roaches got so bad that at night, when you went into the kitchen...you would turn the light on and just stand back and wait for the floor to clear!! :scared:

We didnt live there long...thats for sure!!
