I’ve been told on good authority that wasps will ignore you entirely if you wear a yellow and black stripey top. But as others have said, wear roller skates as well just to be safe.

I SO want to see the video of the OP using one of the recommended methods! 😆

I got rid of a small wasps nest last week using this –

Great stuff! Nuking it from orbit would be less destructive than this.

£40 is a pretty reasonable price depending on where you are. One of my local competitors has been quoting customers over a hundred.

Wasps nests aren’t at their largest at this time of year but they can still be a bit ‘fighty’ when you get up close and personal. If you are unsure of what you’re doing get a professional in to do it. Its quicker and much much safer.

I’m looking on with interest.

My Nan has one in her garden growing out and around a bird box

Move house, that’s the safest thing to do.

I was robbed, just recently payed some one £50 to get rid of a bees nest (tree bees which are not endangered) in my loft space.

I wish I had know at the time that all I needed to do was prod them with a big stick 🙄

Nuke it in the slats? ……possibly from orbit?….. whilst on the hoof?
I’m not sure, but that may be the only way to be sure.

(Scottish people only – surely this should’ve been in the bike forum?? :?)

If the traditional nuke from orbit option proves troublesome with the neighbours, there’s always this time-honoured solution:

A large firecracker and a hasty retreat?

Aw c’mon, we’re waiting the outcome with baited breath. Have you poked yet?

i lolled at the whipped cream suggestion

Stick a pint of beer at the entrance to the nest.

scratch all previous answers, clearly the best way is…

and after you’re done, you can find your least favourite neighbour and set it to ‘blow’.

1)Go into the loft. Stab at it with a big stick quickly. Withdraw from loft at pace and pull lid back.
2) Same as the first option but rather than use a stick, just chuck half a brick on it.
3) Cover myself up and pour boiling water on it and accept I’ll get a bit stung
4) Get some squirty stuff? If so is there a good type?

How are any of those options better than handing over some beer tokens to a bloke to do this for you?
