i dont think theres a way around to be honest. my neice had to pay when she had one in her loft space she rung the council and they charged her around the same i seem to remember.

You can buy a tin of wasp killer from Wilko, for about £3. Spray it around the nest during the late evening, when its cooler and the wasps are less active .. usually work withing 24 hours.

Wait until its dark and they have quietened down then spray a wasp powder around the entry to the nest.

You can buy wasp nest destroyer which is a foam type stuff in an aerosol can from B & Q but be careful !

Yes, sometimes they are in difficult to reach places and you have to be careful getting up a ladder and spraying a nest. The council quoted my sister £35, but she does live in a council property.

Spray the powder around / in the hole and it gets on the wasps as they come and go poisoning the nest in the process.

I don't think that matters, as the wasps pick up the poison on their wings and take it into the nest ...you just spray where they are flying in. Its worked for us a couple of times.
