God, we've just locked down the flat to keep out the heat, only now a paper wasp has got in. No fucking clue how it got in, but it's there.
Suggestions for wasp murder? I do not trust them with being in a room with my senior cat.
Kill it with nature. Put a glass over it and slide some card under, then put it outside.
I would, but bastard is sitting on a light bulb atm, which makes trapping them a bitch.
Wettex or tea towel might work. Or at least contain the problem.
Paper wasps are friends :(
I agree up to the point that my cat will try to eat it, and at her age it would likely be fatal. Paper wasps belong outside, and there's zero chance the poor thing will get to go outside until Monday night.
Better a quick death than being hunted by a cat
