An enormous swarm of wasps at a home in the North West has meant that its inhabitants have been left unable to leave for fear of the critters making their way inside.
The unnerving footage, seemingly filmed from a window and a neighbours back garden, shows a throng of wasps nesting on the roof of a house in Lower Kersal, Manchester. A nest is believed to be in the loft of the property, the Manchester Evening News reports.
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. 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 said that they had been unsuccessful in their attempts to get a professional in to help. He said: "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."
He added: "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."
