Just notcied a nest just below my gutter and fascia. They are all buzzing around and flying in and out - fucking loads of them. Can anyone suggest a way of getting rid?

Found a nest on my balcony and went out and bought the spray which had the worst package design.
They were all dead within 2 minutes.

Think they have made a nest in my shed (they keep nipping in and out through a small gap in the door) I've only just moved in, the shed is empty so i'm gonna leave them to it.  :wave

DO THIS TO THE NEST

Get a blow torch and some petrol in a Gerry can. If you haven't got a blow torch then borrow one.

Pour petrol on the nest and burn the little f*ckers!!!!!!!

You want some C4 or Semtex with that?

We came across one when having a BBQ at my grandparents the other day. I was all for blowing them up along with the downstairs toilet roof!

Apart from that I don't mind them, never had to contend with massive nests though, urrh, screw that. What the shit is with Hornet's though?! Huge wasps aren't they?!

Got our wasps nest dealt with before. Some guy from a pest control company sprayed some stuff at the entrance point of the nest (on the fascia below the gutter line) It took him about 10 seconds to do and he charged me £45 bullets! I'd hate to see his hourly rate! Anyway, it seems to have killed them off as I can't see any of the bastards buzzing around now.

I'm one of those pathetic bastards that gets out of his seat and waves his hands around his head at the very sight of them. Everyone's got a friend like him it seems - we ruin many a day out. But this year I've seen something that I've never seen before, and I've seen it 4 times... twice today. And that's wasps attacking other insects. I've googled it, and it was mentioned once or twice in 10 years.

I first saw a spider on a cobweb minding its own when a wasp just swept on in, wrestled with him and swept him away. I'd never seen that before. Then, some weeks after I saw a similar fight. Then, today, I saw two scraps with flies, in the exact same area, the latter battle lasted 6 minutes, with the wasp expertly beheading him with its mandibals, then removing all of its legs, then separating its thorax before it sucked out what juice there was left in it.

Anyone else seen this?

yeah, the other year was walking down the path into my house to see a titanic struggle between wasp and spider. I watched hoping for the spider to emerge victorious despite me not being a fan of either. The wasp seemed to kill the spider then flew at me with the spider still attached to me like some sort of super creature.

can't stand wasps, loads of them at The Leeds Festival this weekend.

You get woodwasps in england. They are completely harmless. Had one in an english class once and whole class freaked out. I just picked it up and put it outside with everyone thinking I was a fearless fuck. They didn't know they I'm scared shitless by moths. ;)
