Exterminate ...... by ziggy77

Exterminate ......

I disturbed an underground wasp nest yesterday as I was mowing the lawn. Loads of them emerged and luckily for me blamed the lawn mower except for the one that stung my calf muscle, (which is still sore) - the little blighter.

This is Richard who assures me that all is now well.

Oh dear! He certainly looks like he knows what he's doing -- fun portrait.

Those wasps are awful - thank goodness there weren't more stings!

Pleased you weren't stung more than once

That is not pleasant. I hope it gets better soon. Great portrait...

But you were able to dress right for this event! You must have bees as well! Get the wasp nest at night when they all go back in and pour some petrol in then light it! It works beautifully!

Great to bring in the professionals to help out in this tricky situation and happy to hear they took it out on the mower.

Wasps are such a nuisance, glad you got someone out who looks ready to do battle. Good shot, hope the sting heals quickly.

oh my jo, i cannot stand wasps. glad you only had the one sting!
October 25th, 2016  
yikes!
October 25th, 2016  
The right equipment :)
October 25th, 2016  
Ow. Glad it was only one sting though.

We had a nest at work recently, I managed to get stung too, sooo painful !
October 25th, 2016  
Glad you weren't seriously hurt!! Great shot of this guy. I wouldn't want his job!

What a nuisance -- glad it was only one sting , it could have been much worse !

Good shot of your exterminator. He looks to have the right protection. Glad you're not allergic, although wasp stings seem always to hurt a lot.

Good job he is all rugged up for the occasion. I used to hate wasps when I lived in the UK. They are horrible little blighters. Luckily we don't get them where I live. Mind you we do have other nasties though.

Super capture of the Professional Exterminator. You were lucky to get away with one sting but I feel sorry for the lawnmower.

Grateful you are okay, that must have been so scary. Hope you leg feels better soon.

Miserable to find them like that, but glad you were able to take care of the problem - not sure where we'd find someone who does that work! You definitely need the proper gear.

nice!

Well he is certainly dressed for the job. FYI worcestshire (I know I spelled that wrong!) is really great for taking the sting out of wasp and bee stings. Just put some on with a cotton swab and it will also keep the area from swelling up. You might smell like a burger for a while, but it won't sting anymore!

Ouch...Great shot
October 26th, 2016  
Go Richard! Glad only one of those little guys got you! Nice shot!!
October 26th, 2016  
He's a keeper!
October 26th, 2016  
What a hero! I hate wasps. and it does hurt being stung!
October 26th, 2016  
Oh no! But you got a cool picture out of it, Jo!
