Default 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.

Of course this is only valid if you can run 100m in 5 seconds!!


Safest way is to get the council in.

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.

Correct. Call their Pest Control section. They will inject powder into the nest that will kill the wasps and stop it being recollonised.

PM me is you want more details.

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
