Wasps nest in the shed

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.....

good man aido, i will check it out when i'm there scavaging the bins out back 

reckon its about 760 quid to get a pro out

that shoud say €70 quid deise 

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

Man up and treat the nest like a punchbag, you show them who's boss 

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