White nest in shed!

Prod it with a stick - you should find out then.

 

Sounds suspiciously like a wasp, or similar unpleasant insect.</p>

Does the texture resemble a Japanese lampshade, or layered or ribbed / sectioned?</p>

 

probably full of gold or something, quick jam your hands in it before someone else nicks it.

 

Careful then !

Sounds like a wasps nest. It may be last year's and dormant at the mo, in which case you might be able to sort it.</p>

Keep an eye - is there a steady stream of wasps flying in and out, about two or three a minute, a bit like the approach to Heathrow? If so, then it's active, and unless you deal with it carefully you could get well and truly injured. If not, it might not be open for business. take advice before gerrin to grips with it.</p>

Not sure whether spraying it or not would make it harmless.</p>

Council runs a wasp removal service, might cost a fee, you would need to check.</p>

 

Definitely a wasp nest. Only thing living in it at the moment (if anything) will be the hibernating Queen. All the others die off. Destroy it now and save a lot of bother in the summer.

i destroyed a wasp nest last year - invested in 2 x fly and wasp killer from poundland

and used a big shovel and a bit of smoke and fire. Had to dig the bartewards out. Was a reight laugh!! Oh aye.

You should have heard them when they got pissed off! Sounded like a a 500cc motorbike race going on under the path! Not one sting.

 

Not the 7 iron scarfy.......

Because that would give it too much elevation. I would suggest a 3 iron and drive it hard and low about 250 yards away dependant on wind conditions.

 

RE: It could be a new look for you.

We once had a wasp nest under a paving stone.
We spilled a can of petrol on it, then purely on accident a match fell on the same area.
Bingo. No more wasps.

However, I don't think this approach should be used in a wooden shed. Can't think why though. Probably something to do with light pollution
