We had our first frost last night and low and behold what do I notice on the VERY TIP TOP of my three story house today... a wasps nest. Brrr... why was I...
I know the feeling Cate! Today is my sons birthday (11) and I always think that at this point we can start to reax our guard a little for the upcoming winter...
Happy birthday to him! It went below freezing last night but it was 15 today which was REALLY nice especially given it was pretty much bug free. I don't know...
Hi Cate, I don't know about elsewhere in the UK but in the North West we don't get that many in the house. Having said that we have had a quiet two summers....
Well I have to admit that we have put screens on our house windows and now we would not want to live without them. Down here in the Surrey/Sussex borders of...
We lived briefly in Oxfordshire and it drove me batty not having screens. The neighbours couldn't quite get what I was going on about LOL. I agree, its not...
Hi David Do you make your own window screens or buy them? I need one for the bathroom and thought I'd just make one - it's only for the small window that...
Hiya! I had me appointment yesterday, they took blood to see what it was that stung me, and gave me lots of leaflets, a pack with a dvd and good advice! I was...
Hi Sun, A fast acting anti histamine (in the UK at least) is Clarityn and this is certainly available in tablet and syrup form. The important ingredient is...
I am really terrible at home improvement but we did try to make our own screens to start with as there were so few screens available in the UK. We started off...
Funnily enough that was going to be my next question - Where do you get them? Accrington is only about 15 minutes away from me - have you fitted them on all...
We have put them on just selected windows but they are all over the house: bedroom, bathroom, kitchen. I don't think Premier has a shop or anything like that -...
Hi David, I carry 2 x cetirizine an 6 x anti-inflammatory pills in a contact lens case with my epi-pens, all wrapped up in a sunglasses case. The problem that...
Thanks for all of that David :-) I think while I'm still in the panicky phase and very new to all of this, I'll buy some of the Clarytin - I've also just...
I think the quickest for me, and easiest to get hold of as I have a massive fabric stash <blush> is to use the adhesive backed Velcro and netting. Then I can...
Hi Chris, I have mine in a small pouch with a clip that I attach o my jeans belt loop when I go out into the garden. I carry mine everywhere at the moment,...
There are lots of possibilities but the blinds it on the walls rather than the window frames themselves so you could be alright. It is best to speak to the man...
OK well cetirizine is the same anti histamine as benadryl and the 6 anti inflammatories are probably the steroids. I know I should have these little tablets...
Glad you got an appt Sun. Hope you got the epipens too. How long will it be before you know what got you? I went for a run this morning for the first time in...
Our screens here are made from a nylong mesh. If anyone would like me to send you some, just let me know. It lasts for ever and I think you would be albe to...
I'm pretty good about it but have had the odd lapse. WHen I went shopping in NY last month I had my friend drop me at the coffee shop so I could run in and...
Joe carries an epipen to and from school in his back pack, together with mobile phone. Both are in a small clip-on pouch ( from David's site) that is secure...
I've been thinking about what Sun has said, and it is such an adjustment and not in just the carrying around gear sort of way. I was told as a kid, I'd out...
Hi Chris, It is slightly easier being a lady as I carry mine in my handbag - I too have one of David's bright yellow pouches which holds all the necessary...
Hi Maggie, We went to the Alps skiing last February. We were convinced it was the perfect wasp free holiday, and although we never saw one on the slopes, we...
Hi Roz, Many thanks for that - there is not alot of room to carry things when skiing - the others are all boarding and I suspect anything they carry will get...
... concerned about a sting/bite? I received Sun, Oct 8. I was by my complex's pool, and did not have my glasses on and so was not able to see the insect....

HI Ember, It is impossible to know what stung you with any degree of certainty but it probably was not a wasp or bee as these do hurt pretty immediately. I...
