    HUGE wasp nest

    I've noticed a lot of wasps flying around the kid's play structure outside. It's made us come in a few times as there were 3-4 flying around and didn't want the kids to get stung I went and bought a wasp trap and it doesnt' seem to be catching any...I found out why yesterday.
    We live in a new subdivision and the house being built beside us is getting the eves and sofits put up around the roof and the guy putting them up yesterday flew down the ladder getting stung buy them. I look up and there had to have been 20 wasps flying around and so the kids and I ran inside !
    I went out this morning to play outside with the kids and there are tons flying around ~ at least 20 of them looking to get back into their nest. Not sure if they just covered the nest up and or sprayed and covered it up?

    So....any thoughts on what I should do !!?? They are angry now and not about to go outside for the kids to play

    Hmmm ~ so the nest was on the new property's house and they 'covered it up' with soffeting? Cause ya they are likely flying around trying to find the Queen if she was in there at the time?

    Evening is the best time to 'kill' the nest or 'relocate' them depending on your views over it.

    When we w ere having an issue with Wasps I just used the front door and we went to the park for outside time until my spouse could get the backyard safe again for play~
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
