:?: Whilst I've had bee nests behind my shed on occassions, having a wasp nest is a new one on me. However, these kind so & so's have decided to "camp up" right next to a path in my back garden and to quote a phrase " I want the s**s" out. So has anyone got a suggestion how I can do this before I call out my local council authority to do so (which I'm prepared to do). Please note that I'm petrified of these insects & I believe the only good wasp is a dead one!
You can spray the nest with a Wasp and Hornet spray killer then when you are sure they are dead and before they have a chance to move back in use your hose sprayer and knock the nest down and throw it away. As long as that nest is there, they will return to the same spot.
Spray early in the morning when they are all still home. Be sure to get the spray that comes out in a stream. It will knock them down instantly and they will NOT get back up.
I'm a complete coward where wasps are concerned so I would leave it to the council. With my luck the whole nest would erupt and I'd be the target for each and every stinger.
We use to hit those things with shovles then run like crazy. but yeah bug spray works or call the bug guys.
