The wasps were discovered in one room of her house, nesting on a bed and feeding on a handmade crocheted blanket. Longwood Services Pest Control employee John Birkett said he was called to the home in Worchester, Hampshire by the woman's son, who discovered the wasps, according to ABC News:


The nest had grown so large because the family rarely uses the room on the second floor of their five-bedroom home, he said. The wasps snuck in through an open window and used the bed as their home for nearly three months, chewing through eight inches of the mattress and two pillows, according to Birkett. The family most likely didn't hear the wasps accumulating because they are silent while nesting, he said.
