The giant wasp nest
Giant wasp nest discovered in loft of vacant house, Northamptonshire, UK - 08 Sep 2016
A giant nest built by up to 10,000 stinging wasps have been discovered in a Northamptonshire loft space. The nest was allowed to reach close to its maximum size because the property in question, in the sleepy country village of Pipewell, has been unoccupied for several years. The nest is rare not only because of its size, but because the wasps built an intricate tunnel from the nest to the outside, which is perfectly preserved. It was discovered by pest controllers treating an established woodworm problem prior to the new owners moving in. Pest controller Gary Wilkinson of Pest Professionals, who found the nest, said: "It's an impressive wasp nest alright - much bigger than a barrel. Normally we get called in at the first sign of wasps causing a problem to people. This community has been allowed to go about its business undisturbed for a whole summer season.
