Paddy Galore! Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I had a couple of wasps nests in the garden last year, ant powder (lots of it) and a foam fire extiguisher did the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Rentokil wasp nest destroyer. Kind of like silly string/foam in a can. Will spray from a few metres away and it works. On the other hand they will only just be starting to build nests. Nests don't wake up, they start fresh each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Wrap yourself up including head in a scrim scarf and have a go with some of the foam stuff . Take the fight to them , I only got 3 stings and fell down a ladder last time I used the method . Sometimes they will fall for a trap of a jam jar with a bit left in the bottom plus some water . Punch a wasp size hole in the lid . It can clear a whole nest once the first few go inside . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickP Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Only cost £35 for a pest control company and it's them who get stung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not blame them you would end up in hospital if you tried putting that stuff on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 just go to B&Q buy some wasp killing powder then shortly before dusk squirt as much as possible where they are going in and job done. Its not rocket science, as long as you aren't allergic to stings its pretty safe. If you don't move quickly or swat at them etc they rarely sting.

death from below Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Clean the dust off your air rifle and spend an afternoon shooting them one by one - with any luck Sky1 or channel 5 will make a documentary about you on the strength of it.

Fisherman Mike Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Leave em alone and let them get on with it. They wont cause you any harm and are one of the best in the countryside for checking garden and agricultural pests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignoel Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 are you realy sure its a wasp's nest as its a bit early .there are plenty about but a busy nest this early seems unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex C Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Sorry but you are going to have to burn down your house. Its the only way to make sure you have got them all Or you could call in a pro to do it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) are you realy sure its a wasp's nest as its a bit early .there are plenty about but a busy nest this early seems unlikely. i was thinking the same, contact the local bee keepers club they'll send someone round who, if it turns out to be bees, will hopefully relocate them.

berties Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 There are wasp nests around my mate was doing two today it is a month early,though another cold night may kill them off,the advice is get rid asap or by the end of summer it will be massive,the ant killer does work though there are designated treatments,I have done ome with pound shop ant killer on the entry hole ,if you can get to it bag it,and dispose of it,remember they will get through the bag eventually Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
