Wasps nest in the attic

[PureAppleJuice]

So for two weeks now my girlfriend and I had been hearing scratching and movement in the roof above our bedroom, and it has stupidly taken us this long to realise that it obviously isn't mice. After a stroll around the outside of the house I saw plenty of wasps going in and out of a hole just about where the noise was coming from.

What do you think the scratching is? Are the wasps eating away at the ceiling? I'm expecting myself to wake up in screaming agony after they've broken through and swarmed me at 3 in the morning. Anyway, this is just a general complaint about it/wanting to hear some sort of horror story to justify not sleeping in that room. Hopefully the nest will be sorted by a pest controller of some description over the coming few days!

Christ, well I hope they don't eat their way through and kill me then. Perhaps I should go out and buy a tarantula or something that will eat them.. hmmmm.

Seriously yes the wasps are eating through your house. My parent's house in France gained a nest of gueppes right above the front door, bizarrely it was the local fire brigade who came round to sort it out who basically just plugged the hole. For a few days after my parents said they could hear the wasps trapped inside getting ever more desperate trying to eat their way out through the wood.

That doesn't sound good at all :/ I went into the loft a few days ago and there were none flying around in it, I can only assume that they are just using the entrance/exit that is physically outside. Meh.
