How to get rid of wasps' nest?

[JAZZOMAN]

HI i had a nest in my garage 2 yr ago saw maybe 10 wasps at a time and thought id save a bit of money and do it myself after touching the nest with a stick about 30 wasps appeared so i called a guy who advertised in the star he arrived about 2 hours later on a saturday morning and did it for about £40 he estimated it held about 2000 wasps !!!!

please dont attempt it yourself its not worth it

Just been back in loft and can't see any sign of them in there so must be on roof. I will have to call round some places tomorrow. Thanks.

Can you live with them? They do loads of good.

 

 

Do they do any good that isn't also done by other creatures?

Yes, I admit it. There aren't many creatures I have zero tolerance of but wasps - yes. To the OP I recommend calling in someone with experience of removing wasps nests.

Yes. They kill loads of garden pests.

As do spiders, ladybirds, frogs and probably others.

And the more biodiversity that we have, the better. Wasps are generally a force for good. I wouldn't want a wasp nest in my hedge though

I was totally fascinated by the one i had, i'd even sit on the garden wall watching them come and go, whilst having an after work can or two, until they turned on me, the gits.
