Wasps nest - need to get shot of, PDQ
I've discovered we've got 2 wasps nests in the house. One of them is behind an airbrick, I can see the buggers flying in and out. The other is by the window - they crawl in and out of a small gap in the mortar by the side of the window frame.
How best to get rid? |

Professional people to fumigate them? I don't advise annoying the wasps yourself.

Poke 'em with a stick

Wasps are a relation of the ant so if you are feeling really brave get a good dose of ant powder around the entrance to the nest.

Wait till sundown when they are all dopey and going to bed, spray ant powder all around the entrances. A good dose of airosol wasp killer in the holes helps too!
I've got one of those 10,000 volt tennis racquet things, wasps are fun
