Cardinal Richelieu Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 You see signs all over the place saying "Wasps Destroyed £30". I've often wondered if they come round and destroy your wasps, or if they just have a roomful of wasps on standby in case anyone likes seeing wasps getting killed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Has anyone ever had to get rid of a wasp's nest before? I currently have a small one in the shed but am keen to get rid of it before it gets much bigger and without involving a pest control company. Any advice? I got the council in They charged £20 or £25 I can't remember exactly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endieinreekie Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Can you not just throw on some overalls, mask, goggles and gloves and shove it in a rubble sack, tape it off and hoy it into a bin far from your house? I am tempted by this option actually, with the added step of stomping on the bag just to make sure they don't seek revenge for me destroying their home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I'm sure jumping up and down on them is going to sooth their anger at being flung in a black bag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praw Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Ex pest controller here, can you actually see the nest, or is it hidden in a wall cavity? They are surprisingly simple and quick to kill off but if you make an arse of it it's going to hurt! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Pffftt, are you going to listen to a so called "professional" or your faceless mates off a football forum? Are you suggesting he's lying about being a professional in order to pass off his ridiculous advice as "expert"? If he is, it's a brilliant idea. I'm also an ex-wasp controller, and i reckon edinreekie should smear himself in treacle before slapping the nest and calling them all c*nts. That should do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praw Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 If it's quite small and easily accessible get yourself a broomhandle and a can of wasp nest destroyer (as above). Poke a hole in the nest an inch or so deep, completely cover it in the foam from the can then shut the shed door with the Broom handle. Job done. Leave it at least 24 hours before you open the shed, repeat if necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
