    Anyone on here tried getting rid of one!!?? Seemed to have acquired one in our shed - so dont think the 'burning' it option can apply!!!

    How much do council charge??

    Cheers

    Fill up a bucket full of soapy water and 'water pistol' or something similar them down with the bucket. It severely dehydrates them and kills them, then just sweep up! That's what we did when we had a nest outside a bedroom window

    A couple of cans of wasp killer from asda, borrow one of them "cp" coats off one of the scroats and charge into the shed. Don't forget to shout "Geronimo" as you go through the door as it shows the wasps you mean business. :)

    Worked at ATS for a year when i left school years ago, we got a nest in an external wall, they got in through the holes where some signage had been taken down.

    We used to use trichloroethylene spray to clean the inside of tyres when mending a puncture. Poked the straw off the spary into the holes and Sprayed it in and they all flew out and just dropped on the floor dead about a foot from the wall. Funny as **** and did the trick.
