Enormous ‘Alien-Like’ Wasp Nest, Equivalent to a ’70-Inch TV,’ Found by Homeowner in Bathroom.

A deadly wasp nest has been found inside an abandoned house with images of the massive ’empire’ hanging over a toilet going viral.

The pests’ hideout was discovered in a Healesville home 50km north of Melbourne with one alarmed expert calling it ‘the largest’ he has ever come across in the country.

Vision of the colossal nest was posted to social media this month by Dale Armel from DAP Pest Control who was called in to deal with the problem.

Footage of the grey mass measuring one by 1.5 metres was seen suspended from a bathroom ceiling with wasps hovering around it.

It showed a toilet underneath the hanging pile with thousands of dead wasps on the floor in the dilapidated home.

Mr Armel said the nest full of carnivorous wasps was massive and deadly.

‘This is the largest European wasp nest I’ve ever come across in my pest control career,’ he said on social media.

‘This was a very dangerous situation – if any person or child came across this nest they could have been swarmed and stung repeatedly.

‘[It] had to be removed as soon as possible to ensure everyone’s safety.’

The seasoned pest controller said despite his experience eradicating vermin throughout his career, this job scared him.

He said he was attacked by the pests while taking three days to remove the nest.
