A family has told how they are trapped inside their own home after a massive swarm of wasps filled their garden. Residents in Rushley Avenue in Lower Kersal, Salford say they cannot get help to clear the creatures.
But with them filling the skies around their gardens and starting to crawl inside their homes the families are getting desperate. Footage shows the extent of the invasion which is making lives a misery for those living in the affected property.
They believe there might be a nest in the loft of the property with the recording showing wasps gathered on the roof, reports the Manchester Evening News. The family living at the house says they daren't leave until they have been cleared.
But with it being the weekend they say they can't even get anyone to answer the phone to help them solve the problem. Julie, whose daughter lives in the affected house, said: "They've been there for a couple of days but it's getting worse and worse. There's swarms of them."
She said families in the street had effectively locked themselves inside. She said: "My daughter and her neighbours have had to lock their windows and doors. They can't come out, they can't let their children out."
Julie's son Kieron told the Manchester Evening News that efforts have been made to try and get a professional in but so far it has proved unsuccessful. He added: "They're starting to come into the kitchen, they're in the garden, the street, you can't even go near the door because there's that many.
"I've been on the internet and apparently if they sting you, they leave a scent in you and then they all come for you because they protect the queen. If you get stung, it can be fatal because your body can take a bad turn, so it's dangerous.
"They keep going in this little hole that goes in the loft so we think the hive must be in there but we've rang four different people and no one's answering. We're a bit stuck, we don't know what to do.
"I don't know if it's because it's the weekend but I don't know if it's even safe to leave that for another couple of days because there's four kids in there. It's madness."
