Hundreds of the little ******* swarming round.

Looks like they are going into a gap in the rear toilet window. Should be a nice surprise when the neighbours get home!!

Ive yet to find a living creature that survives a good dose of Bleach Killed a whole army of ants the other week with a bottle of cheap bleach from ASDA. ohh how much fun that was

So the idea is run around the back yard like a mad man spraying bleach everywhere

We had a nest last month. Quite a few of them got in the house due to windows open with the hot weather.

Just hope the hornets dont arrive looking for food (wasps) as we had a couple of them as well. 5cm long - scary!

IIRC we paid £45 + vat (wokingham council wanted £70 I think). Booked on the fri, fella came the next day. Aint seen them since. Just make sure they spray the powder all over the entrance hole and inside.

Well it turn out they have known about it for a week! Been trying to get rid of them with some spray

To my neighbour - Thanks for telling us, especially as it is right by our rear French dors and we have a 4 year old and a 14 month old.

Kinell, thats expensive.

We had a huge nest in our old house last year and the council did the job within 1 day and for only £18

The wasps were gone by the next evening.

Stupid

Just ask them nicely to go somewhere else. Win their hearts and minds

Our next door neighbour had em last year in the porch roof, but they were going in and out near to us flight path was straight past our front door.
We told the neighbour but as she spends most of her time on her back or drugged up she didn't care. Spent the whole of last summer trying not to get stung as my missus suffers from Anaphylactic shock.
Council couldn't do naff all cos she had the nest and obviously wouldn't pay when it wasn't bothering her, we did offer to pay but they still couldn't help as they said they couldn't be filling someone elses roof with poison without permission which they couldn't get either.

Got one at the moment-tried the powder but was difficult to "hit the target" so tried some wasp nest destroyer from B&Q. Its taken about a week of constant spraying but just about got all the buggers. Floor's covered with about 50 of em. Sealed the gap up now-still a nest in there but neither me nor the council can get to it.

Stupid

If you burned the house down, that would get rid of them.

Parents had 1 in their garden, I found 1/2 gallon of parrafin worked wonders

There's only one way to get rid of a wasps nest...

LOL, I was just remembering your thread... Cant see the neighbours
fancying the idea of dowsing their wall in petrol though
