Default Wasps Nest






What a work of art, shame I had to zap it but I have to do some work on the roof and couldn't risk falling off after being chased across the tiles by 100's of angry jaspers

I got the eho to get rid of one for me. I said to her it was only small but wanted rid of it as I was going to be painting there. She zapped it and within an hour there was at least 200 of the gits zooming about. Thank god I did'nt do it and muck it up. I might have fallen off the ladder before the concrete broke my fall

I had a 6ft bamboo cane with gardena microdrip hose, cable tied up the cane and the other end of the micro drip hose was pushed into the end of the wasp nest killer bottle, that way at least i could zap then at a safe distance whilst up the ladder, that is only ONE of the 2 nests I have in my roof

Will never forget my dad up the ladders with a can of WD40 and my mums lighter making a home made flamethrower, there were loads of live wasps with no wings near the bottom of the ladder !
