Wasp Nests

[Mudball]

Cut back some overgrown foliage to find what looks like wasps have decided to make a home inside an air brick on the side of the house.. no idea how big this is.. but looks like a busy household. Any suggestions on how to deal with it?

Get a professional in to sort it for you. Should be able to get it done for around £40-50 and you'll have the peace of mind that it's been done properly. If you're renting you might be able to get your landlord to cover at least half of the cost for you.

Get a pro in. If he's good with a wedge he might be able to dig it out.

Seriously though, get a pest control guy to do it. We had a large one under the bay window. He did what he had to do, and then as he was clearing up and putting his gear away. As he took his suit off this great big, 4 engined supersonic wasp flew directly at him and stung him in the chest.

Evil bu99ers!

Jam Jar, spoonful of Scottish bramble jelly, hole about the size of a 5p punched through the lid, half fill the jar with water.... x3.... saves you £50.

Had my hornets turned off a couple of weeks ago. £30, and for me, that is well worth the money.

Cheap at double the cost! Anything under £100 to get rid of a pest is brilliant

Would could least £1000 to get rid of the wife

I have two at least that big, if not bigger, up in my loft. Fascinating constructions. Loads of smaller ones too. We get loads of wasps every year, but hornets only rarely.

I can’t see the nest.. all I can see are wasps going in and out of the air bricks.. bloody annoying

you sure they are wasps and not masonry bees? Just block the holes up!

Block up the holes and invite damp into your suspended timber floors.
