Wasps in the summer, spiders in the house in winter ......

Noticeable by their absence, not as many worms about either .....funny how things can happen gradually and it goes unnoticed........pesky wasps whenever you ate outside......you hardly see them now .........

Correct.

Time to reverse intensive farming.

Holy Moly, if that's true, the majority, if not all life on the planet will be wiped out. Humans certainly will be. (As a species I for one will not mourn their passing, humans that is, feel bad for the insects)

Yep, and time to plough up the parks and get people 'digging for victory'...

Funnily enough though, of the seed packets that I have that mention 'country of origin' most say the same thing: The EU

Riddled with wasps round our way last year, right up to Christmas.
Some big buggers as well.

Asian wasps were supposed to be here last summer, a threat to native bee's. Nature usually has a way of fighting back though.
And before any SJW's chip in with their usual ****e, there was nothing racist in this post, just facts.

Found two, very lethargic, Queen wasps in my son in laws garage at the weekend.
Whilst I hate them with a vengeance I still put them into a patch of dense undergrowth as they are part of the ecological food chain. (Though what would be partial to eating a wasp is beyond me!)

As I understand it, its the smaller juvenile wasps that you have to watch as they are more aggressive.

When I sail in the med, the first thing I make is a wasp trap and hoist it up high.

I have traps in my garden during spring/summer as my wife and children/grandchildren are more important to me than a wasp, but where they are not a direct threat I will leave them alone.

More science crap. A few weeks ago, insects were the answer to feeding the human race. Now they are not.
