Ingrid came down crying because of a sudden sharp pain in her foot. A minute later, clear signs of an insect bite appeared.

“Oh right, I’ve been having a lot of wasps in my room for the past few weeks, maybe it was one of those.”

Apparently this hadn’t struck Ingrid as significant enough to bring up, so she’s just been taking the wasps out as and when she spots them.

When Eric opened the side attic behind Ingrid’s desk, he was met by a whole bunch of wasps there. It seems we have a nest somewhere in the walls. Not for the first time – but them coming inside rather than going outside is a first.

The side attic is now closed off and all the gaps hopefully wasp-proofed. We’ll have to wait until the wasps all die for winter and then we can clean them out.
