According to Sky News, a 5,000-insect-strong wasp nest that was covering a bed had to be tackled by a pest controller, who has said that it was the most unusual job of his 45-year career.
The wasps had taken over the bed of a five bedroom home in Hampshire after entering through a small window that went undetected by the owner of the house. The wasps managed to build a nest measuring 3 feet in width and 1 feet in depth.
He estimated that the nest held about 5,000 wasps, thousands of grubs and 500 young queens.
Mr. Birkett said that he had dealt with rats, bed bugs and 'homes one would not want to live in' but this encounter with the wasps in St. Cross was one of the most unusual in his career. He was surprised when he saw the nest and his client was terrified.
He explained that he could not leave the door open much as then the wasps would enter other parts of the house. He was dressed in protective clothing and his weapon was the insect spray and he spent hours fumigating the room as the wasps made attempts to sting him. Within an hour, he was able to bring the situation under control.
