A couple feel like they are “in a horror movie” after hundreds of wasps invaded their house.

The “scared” pair, who want to remain anonymous, were sickened to find a giant wasp nest had invaded their home. 

Video footage showed clouds of the yellow pests dart around their house after entering through the walls and window cracks.

They feel “plagued” by the insects which were discovered yesterday and have since grown in numbers.

The resident told the Glasgow Times: “It is horror movie stuff seeing them swarming in my home.

“It is quite disturbing to see, like not being able to use parts of the house is actually scary.

“They come every year, when we had work men in the loft they told us they found the biggest hive they had ever seen.

“We usually try to leave them to it as they stay out of our way, but now they are everywhere.

“I heard ticking noises in August but we thought the room was just too hot, now believe it was the wasps living in the walls.

“I feel like our house has been taken over by a plague.”

There are around 9,000 species of wasp in the UK and are primarily active during the summer months between June and August.

August and September can see wasp behaviour becoming “the most volatile”, according to pest control service Project Multi Pest (PMP).

This is the end part of the season when queens begin to leave the nest to reproduce and find a suitable spot to hibernate once autumn sets in.

The remaining workers and drones will also begin to abandon the nest, since their responsibilities have come to an end.

The timing of this can vary anywhere from October to December, normally the first ground frost is regarded as the point from which the nest will rapidly die off.

The nest is then empty and will never be used again.
