saddler Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I'd refrain from pesticides & poisons, why not instead donate it to the local caravan club - as I hear they're quite into nature studies & looking after the environment - just take it along to the nearest site & an overarm lob will get your donation flying towards a worthy cause Take photos of the results - you may get an Arts Council grant or funding for a new C4 series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 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. Best answer so far....

lincs1963 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 You can get wasp nest destroyer from b&q. It comes in an aerosol can and it is like expanding foam. It works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and cheers to arnie boy for offering to come out and sort em , cheers (now I know I have a can of lynx somewhere!) Go with .22 as they will impart more energy and less chance of a flyer ,keep your range sensible out to 100yds is good,anything beyond that the hmr is capable of taking them down up to about 704yds,if you get a few consider skinning them,they make a great talking point waist coat.

If you shoot them one at a time with the .177 wasps from the bedroom window you should be rid of them in a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karpman Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 If you can see the nest cover up well and smash it to bits. I do a few each year for farmers and such and a local water park. Insectaban and a duster works every time. Karpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Call in the Americans and call them middle eastern wasps and ask for a predator strike from 20,000 ft. Keep the kids indoors as those Hellfire missiles smart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reece Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Get a can of something flammable and make a flamethrower to get rid of it. But try not to set your tree, garden, house or neighbour's house on fire in the process. You could also buy some fireworks and fire them at the nest. But I'm not sure you'd have a safe backstop there. How high up is the nest? But seriously, I'd go down to a garden centre of agricultural supplies store and see what they have. Have a look around and you should find something for wasps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remy 700 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I used rentokill foam nest destroyer , the ones outside the nest were not amused , it says to spray from 12ft so i tried 2 inches , now I understand the 12ft is to give you a head start on the evil blighters that seem to know exactly what you are upto! Thanks for the humerous coments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should bring it to Catton rifle shoot and we could run a comp to see who could shoot the most wasps at 170 yds with a 17hmr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ack-ack Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I'd be inclined to spray 'paedo' on the nest in red paint so that the wasps flee for fear of being attacked by meat head lynch mob. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
