Caravan owners and other outdoor types face a much higher risk of being stung by a wasp this year, due to the warmer than usual spring, the AA has said.
Over half a million Brits have already been stung by a wasp this year, the AA reports, while roughly 14 per cent of adults say they have noticed more wasps around than is usual for this time of year.
The pests are notorious for plaguing picnics, and the AA survey also found that they are the number one bug bear for garden owners in the UK, with 47 per cent saying that this is the main thing that ruins their enjoyment of the outdoors.
Other key gripes for outdoor types include ants (as cited by 20 per cent), traffic noise (14 per cent), spiders (12 per cent) and airplane noise (six per cent).
Caravan owners may also want to check their motorhomes for wasp infestations, as the survey found that 12 per cent of Brits have found the insects nesting in their garage.
