No one was able to figure it out."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viral-stories.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/rtshtrshreag.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A woman who went into a rarely used spare room in her mother\u2019s home was shocked to discover that 5,000 wasps had made a giant nest in the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nest, 3ft wide x 1.5ft deep, was still expanding and the insects had chewed through the mattress and pillows to build it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When pest controller John Birkett was called to the scene he realised it had been growing for several months. His client, who lives alone in the five-bedroom house in Winchester, Hampshire, had not been in the spare bedroom for months. When her son opened the door and discovered the nest in the single bed he realised a window had been left open the whole time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Birkett, of Longwood Services, said: \u201cWe got a call as we normally do \u2026 but a bedroom \u2013 I thought that was unusual. I opened the door and I just couldn\u2019t believe it. The pillow was covered in this 3ft wasps\u2019 nest and the workers were still busy building the nest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn 45 years I have never seen anything like it. There must have been 5,000 wasps. It\u2019s amazing that the woman didn\u2019t realise she was living with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI got dressed up like a spaceman and tried to destroy as many as I could with the workers flying around the room. In that nest there must have been up to 700 queen wasps.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the only nest he had previously found in a room was about the size of a tennis ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Birkett finally managed to clear the area using a spray to kill the wasps. He was even able to rescue the beloved blanket on the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though he got the job done, Birkett was saddened at the death of so many wasps. \u201cIt was a work of art and they had worked so hard, but she looked at it and said, \u2018No, no, no \u2013 you\u2019ve got to get rid of it.\u2019 If they did that in three-and-a-half months, that\u2019s amazing, isn\u2019t it? They\u2019re just little things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Times are tough, and we know not everyone is in a position to pay for news. But as we\u2019re reader-funded, we rely on the ongoing generosity of those who can afford it.
