I noticed a few due ago when I went to my boat project that there seemed to be a lot of wasps coming and going, thus there was a nest somewhere in the boat.  Due to the sheer number.  I bought some wasps nest killer powder from b&q and gradually made my way taking the tarpulin off.  It took a few visits but I finally managed to find the nest.  It's huge!  A large party salad bowl size and then some!.  I have killed a lot of the wasps already but I have Tue nest a good covering of powder.  Hopefully that will finish them off, if not I'll have to call a.professional.  I'll see if I can post some pics.tomorrow.

If it's good enough to kill the queen then you're sorted

Hopefully, I gave the nest a real good dusting but I looked a sight with my overall, gloves and respiator on

we had a nest in a tescos bag in a dirty old shed we had to clear, i forgot to tell the rubbish clearers about it and when he picked it up they went mental, i was locked in the house at the time

And I thought you were a big rough and tuff soldier.....

We have one in the front garden, one got me cutting the grass a couple of weeks ago, got some spray on killer from b&q sort of spray the nest and run.....

Works from quite a distance, it needs to.........two coatings and the next has gone black/brown colour, not had a close up look, will tomorrow, but I am hoping we have got it sorted as we near to clear the bush the nest is in......

Found a wasps nest in my boat in the for'd locker a few years ago fortunately they had breaked off.
with all this elf an safety you just can't get the kit nowadsays. I remember years ago when I used to go coarse fishing we collected wasp grubs which are an exellent bait using a product called Cymag. It did the job stick it in the nest and it stuffed the wasps within twenty minutes but left the grubs alive. The clues in the name it contained cyanide but it didn't do me any harm I think  :-/

We saw a sign outside a restaurant yesterday saying;
''The nations wasps have turned nasty, outdoor eating area closed, please sit inside!''

There do seem to be loads about and I've heard of lots more people being stung this year too.

Good luck getting rid, don't suppose it would be too much fun being out on the water and then discovering it!

Took the kids to Folly Farm, a place where you can see animals and play on rides, the other day - never been pestered by so many wasps in my life - eating our picnic was a case of eat with one hand, swipe wasps with the other. Hate the bloody things 

[Auto Addict]

I got stung on the back of my hand a couple of weeks ago, hate the bl**dy things

Best thing we bought was an industrial electric 30 watt insect killer. When the wabbies hit the grid it blows them in half. Trouble is that when they go the blue light in the night the 'bang' wakes us up.....

Guffer, PM Captain Zok as he maybe able to help mate. Last night he mentioned something about putting wasps up his arse.... 

[Lioned]

They are the devils spawn.Recommend spray with hairspray and light match.Stand back and admire them as they die a painful death.Have fire extinguisher at the ready in case boat catches fire as well.

The boat is wood  :-?

I think I have got them all now.  Only a few were coming in and out on my last visit and then I gave it another more direct squirt of powder.  I will have a look in the morning to check.

Needless to say I didnt go sailing
