OMG...I'm freaking out...

I went into DD's room to open up her blinds and there were wasps in there.  I am freaking out right now...I just killed 4!!  I just called the people who spray our house and the soonest they can have someone here is Monday.  I'm going to be a nervous reck...I've been looking frantically everywhere to see where they could be getting in from and I don't see a nest anywhere.  I would die if one of my girls got bit or stung...I don't remember if wasps bite or sting.  If my newborn got stung, I would really freak out since we allergies to them in our family.  Ok...time for me to calm down.

    They only sting if they feel threatened. And they can squeeze through tiny little holes. I am sure you will be fine but definetly have someone come look for the nest.

    We had a couple of mystery wasps in our house last year. It only happened in the spring so it might be just an isolated incident. I think the wasps are more interested in trying to get outside than looking for someone to sting, but yeah they freak me out, too. I have an irrational fear of insects :)

    Can you buy a crib tent (not sure exactly what these are called)? I know they can be used on PnP to keep out critters when you're outside, maybe you can use it inside to keep out the wasps. Scary!

    Also, allergic reactions only happen the second time someone is stung. I'm allergic to tons of things and always have to carry an epi-pen. I've only been stung by a bee once so the next time is when I'll find out if I'm allergic.
    I would think the odds of her getting stung twice are very low, although I'm sure you want to avoid any stings at all costs. Good luck.

    Keep the door to that room shut - and you might want to wait to have anyone sleep in there until the exterminators have taken care of the wasps.  Sounds like you might have a nest in your attic or somewhere attached to your house right outside DD's room - and they're coming in through a tiny crack.  They sting, not bite.  Be careful - I would be so freaked out too, I am very bug phobic!
    Wheee!
