Had some massive looking things flying in and out of our roof space at the weekend. Looked like hornets or something.
I leant from a nearby window and attacked anything that went in or out with a can of Raid for half an hour, then sprayed a load inside, and chucked a load of ant powder down where they were crawling in.
They appear to have admitted defeat, fingers crossed. Either that or they are re-grouping for a second attack.
Ditto , my neighbour said they are european hornets & the hot weather suits them just fine
Like a huge wasp about 40 mm in length & coming & going from the porch over our front door. I waited for it to fly off & then got on a step ladder & started screwing back into place the wonky plastic panel on the side of the porch
Just admiring my handy work & still 6 feet up, when a loud buzzing hornet appeared over my right shoulder
I think we both looked at one another
before I dived off the step ladder cursing
Just googled the beast & the nests can be 700 + & the advice is not to tackle them yourself, cos all 700 will chase up the garden
