I came across this old house earlier today. According to Rentokil:
1 The venom in wasps contains a pheromone that causes other wasps to become more aggressive
2 An ordinary sting can be treated with deodorant containing aluminium
3 Wasps live in colonies that form self-contained communities
4 A male wasp is called a Drone, whose job is to mate with the Queen. After they have fulfilled their mission they die
5 Wasps don’t swarm
6 Wasps feed their young insect larvae
7 The only wasps that survive the winter are young queens. The queen lays up to a dozen eggs and when they hatch into larvae she feeds them until they become workers. The workers then forage for food, feed the new larvae and defend the nest.
