It was fairly big alright. He just creeped up smashed it with the bat and ran back to the house and closed the door behind him. The wasps won't catch you if you just hit once and leg it. Leave the shed door open and thet should just move off to a new home. |

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! |

Wasps nests, what great fun. I tackled many of these when I worked in pest control but we were kitted out with full suit and had the right equip & chemicals. The best thing to do is get some good quality wasp killer from local hardware, cover yourself up very, very well, spray the nest, beat the sh*t out of it and run. Leave shed for about 2 days. If you go down this road make sure to destroy the nest, if you don't get through to the queen they will just rebuild nest wherever it lands. If the nest is destroyed properly they will go away. My mate works for a pest control company called Ecolab. He says it will cost about 100 yoyo plus vat. You might get away without vat depending where you live. Hope this helps!! -------------

Hummmm as for your nest Hornet what I have been reading is when you get them in or on your house they little beggers have more than one entrance to the nest so you may get 75% of the nest covered but the wasps end up taking another route into the nest .
Now what a mate told me in London is that he got in the experts ( hey he didn't have my number ) and they put ANT powder around the entrance to some route into the nest with that the wasps would walk into it and take the powder on their legs to the queen then end game .
Look it's worth a try .
I was lucky as I got mine first time I had about 9 dead wasps that fell out of the nest when I looked last night Iwill still wait until the weekend before I move the nest thou .
Also my little Bat returned so I gave him a bit of a prod with the broom handle which he didn't like very much but got him out of the shed and yes Gaz he flew away before you ask . ------------- Lansdowne Road debut aged 52 and 201 days . |

Anyone ever had a wasp nest on or under the ground? I was out cutting the grass for the first time in a couple of months earlier, and I reckon I disturbed a nest as there's loads of wasps flying around the place. Apparently they sometimes build nests in the grass or under the ground, but I'm not sure what they'd look like. Anyone ever seen one? how do you get rid of it? |
Posted By: Claret Murph
Date Posted: 22 Aug 2011 at 1:22am

Hoosay read back a bit and I would say get the spray and do the area . What will happen is that the wasps will get the stuff on their legs bring it to the queen which will kill her and that will be the end of your problem , let us all know how you get on . ------------- Lansdowne Road debut aged 52 and 201 days . |

The thing is, I don't know where the nest is, I think it might be under the lawn, so finding where to spray the stuff is a problem. I know what a wasp nest hanging from a shed roof would look like, but I have no idea what it looks like if it's on or under the ground.
The only idea I had so far was to capture one of them and then tie a really really small tin of paint to his leg and put a hole in it. Then when he flies back to his secret underground lair I just follow the paint.
Or else I'll just give them a couple of days to calm down after the trauma of being attached with a Flymo and then I'll see if I can spot where they are flying in and out of.
