game_boy Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Anyone know how to get rid of a wasp's nest which is in a roof cavity of a house stopping short of burning said house down or paying the council £32 for doing it ? Like anything I get can get in a DIY store ? Cheers folks as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 wasp powder from boyes about 3 or 4 quid. put it round the entrance on an evening when the wasps are less active and at home and they drag it in on their legs when in and out. worked for me :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 A few weeks ago, I spotted that my **** of a neighbour had a wasp nest under his eaves, but I didn't tell him (because he's a ****). Anyway, he's seen it :unsure: He was out there yesterday with an aerosol can, which I presumed was something you can buy in a DIY store. He was squirting it around the crack where they were going in, like the mincing fairy that he is. I notice with some satisfaction that they're still there this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vole Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Try jam jar trap 1st. Either works 100% or not at all. Half inch of jam in bottom of jar made gooey with same amount warm water. Punch a wasp size hole in the lid. i have known them fill to the top in a day. Otherwise the foamy stuff that kept Chard amused worked for me last year. Can be squirted from 10 feet away which is a bit puffy or stick nozzle in hole if your feeling lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klunk Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Had one up the flue last summer (Ooooh! Matron!) Got a can of 'Wasp Nest Destroyer Foam' from B&Q and squirted half a can at the hole that the wasps were entering and leaving the house through. Haven't seen a wasp since. I highly recommend the stuff. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game_boy Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Sounds good, Jam Jar is in operation just now until I can get to B+Q. Cheers for the help lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna Shoot a Wabbit Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 ant powder works too!! liberally place powder around nest entrance and they take the powder into the nest with them. I killed off a wasps nest last year for mother in law in the eaves of her garden shed, tub of ant powder £2 from hardware store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
