Got stung by a euro an hour ago. Who woulda thought trying to “relocate” a nest might come with a hint of risk!
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

I was building a tandem trailer in the front yard years ago and the arc flash sent them off and I got stung 4 times on the side of the head, kicked off shingles, face and hair scabbed up like a bitumen burn and off work for 2 months. Day I saw the specialist for last appointment he told me they had just released a cream to take away the pain. They are a mean bugger for sure.

I only got done by one, high up on the right ring finger. Swelled up a bit, got tight, but all good now. Very minor. But side of the head x 4, no thanks!

Took the ring off before the swell? I suppose it could cut out the blood flow if you leave it.

I thought of this post while I was on my royal dunny Plassy. No joke!
Yes, yes, I did. Let me clarify.
For maybe several weeks now, when nature calls, sitting down on thee upstairs dunny... I've been hearing "buzzing". Occasionally see and hear, what I regarded as bees, through the flyscreen. As we have bees around our flowers in the garden, I thought nothing of it. Until I read your post...
Investigated further. Sat outside with a stubby or 6 and monitored, watched, like train or plane spotters. Well fark me...
There are w0g wasps coming in and out of a brick cavity! NOT too far out the window. Proceeded to sit and wait, with a bug spray, like a clay target shooter from the inside and pinged them down as they landed or took off... Realized after a while, I'm gonna need a BIGGER spray. Bunnings here we come.
Armed my self with a trap, and several sprays.
The Shit thing is, it's in a carn't of a spot. I cant get a ladder up there due to the sunlite verandah below and cannot reach properly out the window, to spray several liters of whatever i could get my hands on, down the cavities ive seen them coming in and out of. That "Defender" spray on stuff works as after applying, many bodies have hit the floor! The trap? Farkin' useless. They don't want a bar of it.
I'm hoping I've caught it early before any internal major nesting takes hold. I've been stung many times by bees and wasps back in europe when I was younger. But, I'm worried as my soon has anaphylactic alergies and don't know want to think of the worst case scenario.

Haha wog wasps, l like it.
Yes they love wall cavities with very discreet weep hole access. I'd be calling a man mate, especially if you're worried about your son. Stung like a bitch for a while but I'm not allergic so couldn't whinge or I'd have my man club membership revoked

I've had some limited success using jam mixed with Ant Rid in plastic soft drink bottle traps. My neighbour swears that leaving out a bit of uncooked pork doped with borax works a treat. Apparently the wasps take it back to the nest. I don't like that idea too much as native birds can swipe the bait. You would have to build an enclosure of some sort to only let wasps in and out.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

No today, but my shopping trolley daily didn't last too long.
Got the confirmation last week that it was classified as a total loss.
Back looking for another cheap run about..
