A friend has just discovered a wasps nest in the upper left-hand cornerof one of the upstairs windows. It's on the outside of the house and sohas been exposed to the cold, the wind and the rain that we've beengetting of late. A couple of weeks ago it hit -2C overnight but for thepast few days it's been more around +11C.No wasps have been seen since she noticed the nest (she wasn't livingthere during the summer) but what's the chances that there are stillsome live ones in there that are liable to give me a nasty stinging if Iget up a ladder to get the bloody thing down?Jell

Yep, Petrolium Spirit is THE most impressive !!!, for rodents etc then it has to be the airgun as weapon of choice :-), I'm thinking of upgrading to a gas charged one from my trusty Weinrauch 35.
