Wasp nest

[noelsbeard]

I'm pretty sure I have a wasp nest under the wood at one of the corners of the roof of my house. Has anyone experienced the same problem, and how the hell do I get rid of it without getting attacked and stung?! I have seen 10-20 wasps flying in and out of the same area. To make things worse, its just above my fron door. Is there a pest control place in Aberdeen that would deal with this and if so how much would they charge? Or is it just as easy to attack it myself and buy some cheap sprays from homebase?

 

Little f*ckers.

Get a sting proof suit, cut it down and torch it. My neighbour had a massive one in his attic and he did this without the suit and got stung......... a lot.

[Guest CAPSLOCK]

GET ONE OF THOSE ENLARGED PERFUME SPRAYERS LIKE THEY USE IN THE CARTOONS.

 

THAT ALWAYS WORKS.

[Madbad]

Expanding building foam and some protection.

 

Don the protective clothing, inject the foam into the bike, wasps f*kked.

 

Basically that's what the cooncil do

[CtS]

You get stuff in B & Q that kills the wee f*ckers. Tube of white powder, all you have to do is squeeze some onto the entrance of the nest and the next one that goes in ends up contaminating the place, and they all die a horrible painfull death. Probably.

 

 

Fantastic.

[Slim]

Kill them with fire. It's the only way. You might burn down your house but at least there will be no wasps.

[BobbyBiscuit]

Get Saxondale on to it!

[Guest glasgowdon]

Hit it with a stick.

ive read countless things that says that powder never works.

 

the expanding foam is the way to go. anyone else getting flashbacks to the shining?

Semtex should shift the little bastards.

Too quick and painless. I reckon napalm would be a much more suitable alternative

You get a poisonous spray foam from B&Q etc that you can shoot from a distance. Does the job if you have a clear line of sight. Best to do it on a cold day so the wee f*ckers are slower and remember to run like f*ck. Otherwise get the experts in.

 

As a kid we used to do a wasp on a stick. Catch a wasp in a jamjar and keep it in the fridge til it falls unconscious. Whilst it's out tie a thread round it's waist and tie the other end to a stick. Take the wasp outside and when it wakes up you have a very angry wasp on a stick to terrorise your mates with.

 

Make sure the stick is longer than the thread.

WE HAD A SIMILAR GAME CALLED 'HUN ON A STICK'.

[Drew Peacock]

Either that or lie in wait in your garden until you get one of them on his own. Sneak up on him and rough him up good and proper

0800-TRI-DENT - one nuclear warhead delivered to your door in 5 minutes or your money back. You know it makes sense!

 

If I had my way that's exactly what I'd do to wasps.

 

Thought councils did this sort of thing free?

[mizer]

A little know fact is that prostate excretions can be used to control wasps, bees, hornets and other insects though a technique called Pheromone luring. Unfortunately for the insects they find the secretion attractive due to the hormones/pheromones but due to some evolutionary anomaly human prostate excretions are quite alkaline. Insects are trapped in the sticky substance and then are killed by the alkali of the secretion. I would suggest you have a wee wank and at the moment of climax penetrate the nest and deliver the alternative pesticide to the heart of the nest.

This is what I want to do with the small nest I have in my shed, but I'm not allowed. I thought I could get a plant squirter thingy and fill it with petrol, spray the nest, light it and run.

 

Hit it with a stick.

 

I currently do this of an evening while enjoying a few beers, usually accompanied by screams from the kitchen window of "leave that f*cking wasp nest alone".

 

I might see if I can get some of that gap filler tho, will the nest be strong enough to hold it, it's not a big one I think it's one that the queen has used to hibernate in.

never before have i been excited about the prospect of summer as much as i am right now. you must have been A ) fearless and B ) nimble as f*ck as a kid to avoid getting stung even with the f*ck out cold

wasps have waists?

 

bet its a nightmare for them to find jeans that fit.

A few years back when I was on holiday from uni I had a quality summer job as an assistant groundsman doing grass-cutting jobs / maintenance etc.

 

Anyway, never have I shat it as much as the time I went through a football-sized wasps

[Voffov]

I suppose wasps would work too.

 

Not sure what effect they would have on the aerodynamic properties of the craft though.

That is quality!

 

At school we'd get wee Irn Bru bottles and lure a couple of wasps in to it, noise the little f*ckers up a little then unscrew the top just enough that on contact with a hard surface the bottle-top explodes flys off.

Launch the bottle into a crowd and watch the mayhem commence as the wasps are unleashed! A wasp grenade if you will!

Would give it more of a spitfire noise and feel I think though.

[Madbad]

I mind when I lived in Mosstodloch several years ago we founf 4 wasps bikes in one summer.

 

One in a tree some poor bl88dy gardener was cutting down for us, two in the eaves of the house, and one in (yes IN) the garage.

 

Bl88dy nightmare.

 

Cooncil did for the last 3 with the foam stuff, which is why I know about it

[noelsbeard]

Thanks for all the info guys, I'm offshor at the moment so when I get back it'll likely have taken over half of my house, I can't see how big it is as its hidden behind wood at the moment, does anyone know if the council still remove them for free? I like the idea of burning them but can't be arsed moving the furniture out first.

[Baggy89]

Inspired by this thread. I've just bought some Rentokil Foam Wasp Killer, I'll let everyone know how I get on with it tonight. Says on the tin stand two meters away before spraying! f*ck me how long do they think my arms are? Is it designed for use by Gorillas?

The quine at the till had to ask permission to sell it so I'm thinking it will do the business.

[JimmyJimmy]

If in an outdoor area e.g. on the eves of your roof, I'd stand well clear and take a powerwasher to the bastards. Used the expanding foam trick on a nest which was inside a bird box at a relatives, if you have the right stuff it is usually highly flammable as well.
