Reece Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Either blast it out the tree with a shotgun or repeatedly poke it with a big stick. Your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) ya have to poke it naked tho.... what carts would you recommend for wasp nest blasting red/blue/green/black/clear? Edited June 21, 2013 by SPARKIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Place a brick at the foot of the tree with the hollow of the brick uppermost. Put some granulated sugar in the hollow of the brick. Mix some ground black pepper in with the sugar. When the wasps go to get the sugar thay will sneeze and smash their heads on the brick. Sweep up dead wasps.

kennett Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 brilliant Wait till dark when their dozy and torch the nest or as suggested and powder the hole so they walk it into the neat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegasus bridge Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Can of lynx 'africa' (any teenage boy will have some) and a lighter. Couple of seconds of sweet scented flame thrower should sort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 If its a small tree you could go out at night when it is dark and tie a piece of long string on to it then in the morning give the tree a good shacking from the safety of your house with the windows closed and hope that they get fed up and go.

Vince Green Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Just leave it alone, the wasps won't bother you or the kids if you don't bother them. Just educate the kids to ignore them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simjakcal Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I hate wasps,,they realy have no purpose in life,apart from to chase you,freak you out,and sting you ! id go for a comfy chair at a safe distance in the garden,,a tin of eley wasps,,a few cold uns and a chicken kebab when finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Just leave it alone, the wasps won't bother you or the kids if you don't bother them. Just educate the kids to ignore them. Or you could roll up Vince's copy of the Guardian and smash them all I'd go with a Hoover with a 20' nozzle and leave it on for an hour. Then go round someone's house you don't like, reverse the polarity on the Hoover and fill their house up with wasps through the letter box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Find the entrance and kick its doors in , im sure they have a spare set some where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 from a professional point of view, either buy a can of wasp nest destroyer, spray nest at around 15ft or as already stated, wait till dark, get someone else to hold the torch away from you (unless moonlight enough) as wasp's attracted to white light cut branch, into dustbin bag, seal and dump or if your worried, call in a pestie (no I don't do call outs that far) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 use the tree as a catapult, fling that ****** over the neighbours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Cover it in pink silly string, remove it whole and then sneak it into the sweet section of your local Costco where they sell party piñatas for kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 cover it in fibreglass insulation, stuff a stick in it, and tell the neighbours kids it's candy floss and they're welcome to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unapalomablanca Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 the most 'humane way', if thats how people want to be with wasps, is to put a protective suit on, climb the tree, detach the nest into a bag, seal the bag and take down the woods and release. Most people still use old fashioned ways like spraying with dust poison, make sure it gets to the queen wasp. I got done on the face a couple of years ago about 5 times, and my lips went like a fish and i started to get breathless, i drove to the A&E and they rushed me straight onto a drip for a couple of hours.
