This is going to be rather un-technical, as I cant remember what
they are called.  We took one of the big, blue lights (the kind of
lights you see in delis and butchers) out of the stores, where they
attract and fry flies, and into the staff-room, where the wasps were.
This makes a most horrible noise for a minute or so as the wasp is
electricuted.
