Send help there are wasps.

I think we have a wasps nest in our chimey or something because there are six wasps in my living room.

I am scared of wasps and I think I'm allergic. I am too scared to move to get the bug spray.

Send help.

They know I killed their friends.

We can't. The shole thing was blocked off when they put a gas fire in. The took the gas fire out, never replaced it, so know we just have a hole in our living room covered by a board and NOW IT IS FULL OF WASPS WHICH MIGHT KILL ME IF THEY STING ME

I don't think a can of Raid is going to be enough.

Holy crap wasps

Jos is trying to find his gaffa tape so they have no way in until we can do something more permanent.

I'm thinking that I might just abandon the living room and give it up for lost.

It's not really the escapee wasps that are the problem. We've sealed it up good for the time being so we can find a more permanent solution. (I might have to warn Craig upstairs just in case he has a similar fireplace to ours).

It's the knoweldge that there is a nest up there. Somewhere. With a queen in it, and dozens, or hundreds, or even thousands of wasps.

Vicious, evil, poisonous, malevolent, alien wasps.

Waiting.

I wouldn't worry about the Jaspers -- you got a Craig Upstairs. He could be doing anything up there.

Mostly he does exercises at odd times of the night. He works for the same company my husband does, apparently, though not in the same department, and the company does own employ around 10% of the city.

But you're right. Sometimes I hear strange noises. Maybe I should warn the Wasps about the Craig rather than the other way round.

I live in your medicine cabinet.

Like the wasps.

Wasn't this the premise of a movie one time?

I dunno, but I'm feeling like I'm living a Stephen King book from his Super-Coked-Up period. Either that or an especially strange Shaun Hutson novel.

If you seal off their exit, they will find other exits. Lots of other exits. Into your bedroom while you sleep. Into your bathroom while you're in the shower. I know of somebody who had bees nesting outside her house - when she blocked up the exit they started coming up through her kitchen floor. You need the nest removed permanently.

Their only other exit is out the top of the chimney. The whole thing is solid brick and concrete aside from the gap where our gas fire used to be. But we are looking or a permanent solution. He's promised me if we start seeing their vicious black and yellow bodies scrabbling out of any hole in this house that he will FILL EVERY HOLE IN THIS HOUSE WITH POISON.

Mind you, we'll be moving out soonish. ABANDON HOUSE.

There's nothing we can do about it we haven't already done. We don't know how far up the chimney the nest is. It could be just above the plywood covering the hole they left when they ripped out the gas fire, or it could be right up the top. We don't have the money for an exterminator (that whole 'moving' thing, we're buying a house) and techinally it's the rental agencies job to deal with it. We don't trust them to deal with it, as their response to our boiler breaking was to replace the boiler, tear out the living room gas fire, and then leave us with an empty hole in the living room, which is why we have this problem in the first place.

We're kind of stuck. And no, I currently do not feel safe in my own home.

I'm here. Since we sealed it up, there's been no more sight or sound of the evil little things, but we aren't relaxed. If they start coming back, we'll get an exterminator - we just can't afford to, right now, it's the end of the month and Jos had to shell out some house-buying fees (£300!) at the start of it.
