Any wasp or filth fly is normally killed on sight if seen in my house as I am allergic to wasp stings and filth flies spread many diseases so they are both a threat to life – thankfully in the UK we don’t that many kinds and they are only usually found in hotter months. Other bugs are caught in a plastic box and released alive (after being photographed if they are anything interesting).
I did have a pair of blackbirds in the roof space and ended up with both the female and male in the house due to leaving the loft hatch open to inspect some water tanks. I am not sure how they got in and where the hole is, as I would stop it up to avoid heat escaping but there is also the dilemma of denying the birds what must be a particularly good nesting place (as cats rarely get into an unconverted loft or scale really high roofs) – there was a great din above my room every morning during summer, way more than just two birds could create- but I can’t either find any evidence of the nest so maybe that was outside the house after all… :crazy:
maybe thats why there are less pitched roofs and lofts in hot countries, as all sorts of creatures could get in there including snakes, spiders and lizards…
