Wasp nest discovered in a loft fused to an old nest

Like a semi-detached house this ornate wasp nest was discovered in a loft fused to an old nest.

The pests had set up shop in a loft in Basingstoke, terrifying a wasp-phobic woman who lives there.

Pest controllers were called in to tackle the huge wasps’ lair, which has fused with a dead nest and grown to the size of a beach ball.

Shane Jones from RIDTEK pest controllers in Basingstoke was summoned to deal with the nest and said he had “never seen anything like it before”.

This video was filmed 11th October 2019.
