But, as I also said, wait until they're quiet, late evening.

I thought you meant the aerosol can stuff. I already have a can of Raid.  ;)

I had a wasp nest in the cavity next to an upstairs window in the semi-detached house I used to own.

First I knew of it was when I saw my neighbours son up a ladder squirting mastic into the hole the wasps had chewed. ::)

Soon after they started appearing inside my house so I got a can of raid wasp nest destroyer, fitted a tube from a can of WD40 and discharged most of the can in through the hole they had been using as their entrance (the mastic hadn't had time to go hard).

Didn't see any live wasps come out again after that.

PS the Wasp Nest Destroyer squirts a jet of liquid - you want that one not the aerosol

No, I said wasps nest killer. It's powder that you put around the entrance to the nest and the wasps carry it in with them. Pay attention, young Tigger.

Yes Uncle STEMO.  :-[

Right.  I now have a can of wasp nest killer which hopefully I'll be able to squirt into the nest from the holes that they have chewed in the bedroom ceiling.  The entrance to the nest is inaccessible as there is a flight of steps directly below at ground level which makes getting up there on a ladder pretty dicey!  :-\

I'll wait until later when the little bastards are all tucked up in bed!  :)

I've been quoted £65 today, so if my £3.50 can of wasp nest eliminator dosn't work I have a plan B.  :y

The last time I had the council out to destroy a wasps nest, the chap had a pressurised canister (a bit like you spray your fence with) and a very long wand that reached right up to the gutters. He sprayed all along the top of the facia board and, within ten minutes, they were dropping like flies. Well, wasps actually.

The council want me to pay up front and then they'll get someone to phone me to discuss the access etc.   ::)

They do not do ladders or attics! They can go forth!  :y

Tell him he needs a big thingy that reaches right up to your gutters. If that doesn't put him off, nothing will.  ;D
