I keep finding dead wasps in my bathroom

[Heine_Otto]

Found about 6 in as many days. Bathroom window is shut most of the time, room walls and ceiling are tiled, hard floor, no apparent ways in or out (other than the plug holes)

Where are they coming from?

Should I worry?

(I always worry by the way.......)

Getting flashbacks to candyman with bees in the toilet

Check to see if they could be coming in from the loft or facia - there may be a nest.

Happened to us. They were coming out of the loft via the recessed light fitting

I had a similar problem in my old house, dead wasps in the bath with the odd live one. After an investigation I found a nest in the ducting of the extractor fan.

They were falling through just as the fan turned itself off.

If it is a nest I'm sure you won't be short of advice for dealing with it.

Definite nest, had the exact same happen to me last year only realised when I seen a few then going in and out the fascia at the top of the house.

Nest removed in loft, took about 10 mins from the fella spraying some stuff (and thousands then swarming outside) to not a wasp in sight.

On the old board wasn't a homemade flamethrower the recommended course of action for wasp nest removal?

One of the classic threads on the old board.

yeah and you've got to poke it with a massive stick before you use the flamethrower

Grab a few, paint them white, The rest will think the place is haunted and will leave, simple and effective.

I had a load of bluebottles get into the house via the bathroom. I figure they came up through the plug. Or maybes the toilet.

The best way to get rid of a wasps nest is by headbutting it. If you aren't man enough to get rid of it this way there's a company called ACME who make a lot of products to get rid of pests.

& don't be messing on with safety gear , be a man t-shirt shorts is all you need, it aids your sideways movements

 

[Norfolkred1]

All very sound advice.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll take a closer look around for the nest. I once tackled a nest in the shed with one of those sprays. I thought it would just kind of coat the nest and then I'd walk away - but I went in hard and obliterated the whole damn thing! I moved pretty quickly that day.

Sprays .....meh , just hack the joint off & trample em

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

You've probably got thousands of 'em in the loft, just waiting for you.

I keep finding dead wasps in your bathroom too.

Spray the nest, then chuck a couple of grenades in to be sure, then burn down the house.

Standard Reddit response to spiders and seems to have become popular for wasps too.

Same happened to me. Every morning I’d have a window COVERED in wasps. I just stuck the Dyson on them for a week.. seemed to do the trick.
