Matt 160 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 pulled about 30 wasp stings out of one of my dogs a few years back, was in shock for the whole time it took me to carry him home, bout ten yards from my house he came to and walked the rest... Sorry, but you couldn't have pulled 30 wasp 'stings' out of your dog unless the wasps were still attached! Wasps do not leave their sting in the victim and can sting more than once (unlike bees). Most wasps will not attack you unless you are actually threatening their nest. The usual cause is people trying to be clever and knock a nest down with a stick or set fire to it. The exception to that is the German Wasp (Vespula Germanica) which are very aggressive, and have a very venemous sting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kennyboy 1 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Few years ago my oldest lad was playin footy and kicked the ball round the side of the house. He went to get the ball and came back ,squealin and hollerin, into the garden with the arms flailing. I went and had a look. The wasps had made a nest in the ground. They used the tube of an old swing as an entrance. So I had to dig the wee ba****ds out. Wasnt bad. A can of fly killer in each hand. When I eventually got to the nest it was something like from Alien, the feckers crawlin up to get me. Poured a kettle of boilin water over the nest. Result! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
