Wasps are the one part of Country Living I just HATE! Our old farm house has lots of eves and overhangs for them to nest in. It’s never ending! Last summer both I and my cat got stung while minding our own business in our own home! Last month I killed the first of them, again - in my kitchen! You’ve got the whole WORLD to roam and you need to be INSIDE MY HOUSE? NOPE!
I got stung on the ankle bone last summer. I felt as if I was hit with a cattle prod. There was a huge HOLE in my ankle and it itched for months, no matter what salve I put on it. I mean a, ‘wake up from a dead sleep itching my ankle’ kind of itch.
Second only to when I was pruning a Yew hedge and must have hit a nest. Was wearing a loose, sleeveless summer blouse and three of them ended up inside my bra. Glad I didn’t have neighbors because I was topless by the time I made it into the house, LOL!
