RK, can't you just close the nest, then delete it before they have a chance to complain in the wasp policy forum?

You can't do that, the wasps have'nt broken any Wasp guidelines. We can't act until they do

Anyway RK, we want Reconnaissance photos so the SN strategic anti wasp planner can formulate a way of attack, and minimising collateral damage. Mind you it is only a cossie we're talking about

Another serious flaw with that suggestion... as my dog ate half of my digi-camera... the zoom lens doesn't work... nor does the camera have a flash anymore
nor a viewfinder, so you just have to aim & point and just hope you get what you want a picture of

You'll need to get closer to the wasp nest then, in daylight. How can Nimbus hope to pull off an operation of this complexity with no humint.

As long as you make no sudden movements you'll be just fine. Seen it done loads of times, esp on SKY TV's when animals attack.
Anyway, we can't help till you post photos.

I have never yet believed anybody that's said that, I certainly don't intend to change the habit of a life time now, especially as I am allergic to bee and wasp stings

All the more reason to take photo's so it can be got rid of
Let me think option a leave wasp nest there and have 1000's of nasty wasps buzzing about for 2 months. or Option B, get rid of them when they are all out bothering other people and doing what wasps normally do..

Is this why I wonder...
Seriously, council is a good idea, but you can buy RAID that squirts foam into a nest and kills the wasps. It has a range of 3-4 feet and i think is the same stuff that the council uses.
