Hi, summer is here and so are the wasps. Lat year I had a nest under the bedroom window that had to be got rid of as they seemed to enjoy invading the bedroom at night, probably the light and warmth?
Any way this year they are under the garden shed, metal shipping container. They are far away enough from the house not to be a problem but I think that I just pi**ed them off by going into the shed to get the lawn mower. Their entrance is under the shed in front of the door, so when they came out in force to see who was pounding on their ceiling I had to go through them to get out of the shed. No problem this time and as long as it stays that way they can stay where they are. But if they become a nuisance then I'm looking for cheap ways to get rid of them. OK kill them.
The council do a good job at £40:00 a time but I'm a cheap skate and would prefer DiY methods.
I'm of the opinion that the underside of the shed is strong enough to withstand a small fuel/air explosion, but my wife's not so sure.
2nd idea is a CO2 extinguisher, I have a couple that are old and, although still weigh OK, have not been tested for some years. I am seriously wondering what effect one, or maybe two, of these emptied into the nest would do?Any other DiY ideas?
Or should I just call the council again?
There is no urgency on this at the moment unless they object more fiercely next time I go into the shed.
