Years ago, our back garden backed onto a field, separated from it by a ditch. There was a wasps nest in the ditch, but if ya didn't go near them, they left ya alone, so that was that. Until the oul fella got fed up of this unsightly looking ditch and decided to build a wall instead. Went out one day to start digging foundations, of course he got stung a few times, it really annoyed him. Put on a good few layers of clothing, made some class of head protection from a welding mask, poured nearly a full jerry can of petrol into the hole in the ditch (the actual nest, as far as he could get near enough to see, was a good bit down), stood back a safe distance and flicked a match at it.
No more wasps, and a good chunk of ditch gone with them. Thats probably a bit extreme for ye city lads tho.....

Just looking at the Aldi leaflet that comes with the RTE Guide.
Knowing you to be a man who hates to part with money, Count I notice that they will have a WASP NEST DESTROYER available ofrom Thursday 1st July (that's Thursday week if you can wait that long).
The only sting for you will be €2.49.
It's a 300 ml spray can and it says: "The active ingredients in the formula foam instantly to thoroughly soak the nest and kill the wasps inside from a distance of over 3 metres"
Get 2 cans to be on the safe side and 10 ft back should be OK

But what they do have and no-one can deny this now, they have the finest collection of boilers in the world! And I include Canada in that!

Jaysus, was thinking it was a bit steep. Prob breaks down as €50 callout charge and € 20 to actually do the job. Good luck with the Aldi gear anyway, will keep an eye out for reports of some fella in Dublin being hospitalised after being attacked by wasps

Never a dull moment in the Count Garden these days, looking for weedkillers, moss-killers and now wasp killers.
