If you see a wasp in your house at this time of year it has probably fallen out of a nest in the ceiling/roofspace above where you found it. They have a habit of dropping into the gaps in the insulating material where it's cut away to enable light wiring and then the tumble into the light recess, crawl about a bit then drop out through the light fitting. If you have low voltage 50 halogens in a plasterboard ceiling then there's enough room in the cutaway space for them to crawl through.
If it really was three inches long then that's a hornet.
you need to get some petrol and just douse it around the property, light it and get away
After the house has been burned to the ground, go over the ash with a pneumatic compactor then lay a good, say, 12 foot thick slab of concrete over that, then lead.
A fooking huge bumble (queen?) bee flew out of my fireplace the other night, it was about 4cm long. It hid behind the hamster cage all night and we managed to capture it and let it out the next day

Legend says the ones still alive in December can feed on dust until they break out seeking human brains on New Year's Day...

you know what annoys me? five years ago I accidentally set my kitchen on fire a bit
it was heavily singed but still useable and for some reason I didn't think to contact the insurance to ask for a new kitchen
grinds my gears!

Then nuke it from orbit. Only way to be sure.

If it's an Asian hornet be sure to report it via the official Government Asian Hornet Watch App:
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/asian-hornet-uk-sightings-in-2018
(If it's just a kid on a hospital floor then don't report that to anyone as we haven't the money, but we're all about dem Asian hornets).

It's either a queen or an invasive Asian species. Look it up online. Perhaps contact experts online, If Could be a news story.
