Interesting Not really

[ogr1]

but ingenious non the less.
Take one wasps nest, as it happens my house. There they are swarming about the eves and you could hear them in the air brick vent in the lads bedroom. Goggle reckons spray peppermint or lemon or just soap & water. Only have soapy water & off I go, hanging out the bedroom window spraying until the old arm pump kicked in.. Bugger this for a game of soldiers & then I had a brain fart, as one usually does.
Hoover! Yes you heard correctly. Hoover. Back upstairs armed with the hoovers extension pipe & hey presto! Clunk! Clunk! Clunk! Never had so much sadistic fun. The Mrs had a go and said it was fun too. My lad was just peeing himself laughing. After approx half an hour and very few waspies No noise coming from the air brick vent & I reckon job done.
The neighbour had a double take until we explained our dastardly plan.

So how many were in the hoover bag.

I found a nest in the coal bunker the other day. Just happened to lift lid for no particular reason. It's v small.

When I was renovating after buying this house the builder found a vacant nest.
It was about 6" deep and about 24" in circumference.

I have got rid off two wasp nests…

First one was about two foot long hanging off Ththe roof timbers in the attic. Put a bin liner over it, snapped it off and tied it up double quick, but not as quick as I exited the attic.

Second one was in the void between the eaves board and the roof tiles…i donned my leathers, neck scarf, helmet, boots and gloves and went up the ladder, took a few slates off…and got the vacuum cleaner out.

Coincidentally wasps have just moved into one of our bird boxes….just blocked the hole up, can still hear them buzzing about four days on.

I would say 60 to 100.
Nest not seen, but only a couple of days old at least. Lad reports no noise coming from the air vent now.
Not much activity outside either.

I had never considered shoe boxes and how well engineered they were
