| Oct 3, 2012 at 2:24 | comment | added | yms | The insects seem to have gone away after almost 3 days of no-stopping rain and the average temperature dropping to 6-15 celcius. I am glad I posted this question anyway, I got many good suggestions in case the same happens again next years. Thanks to everyone who answered. | |

It does not have many and they are all at the top so I cannot take a clear picture of them. The pine-cones are small, like 1cm in diameter. | |

If there is a nest anywhere, its often only noticed end of summer, when they're dozy and coming and going a lot. Once it gets colder, they will all die anyway. I wonder if that plant is doing something which is attracting them - ID would be useful. Is it really only 2 feet tall? | |

| Sep 29, 2012 at 19:22 | comment | added | yms | I used an anti-wasp spray to get rid of them (at least for a while), I checked the tree (inside and outside) and some other trees that are also around. None of them seem to have a nest. | |
