any point in me buying these foam or powder destroyers that are
available.

Yes. Nippon ant / crawling insect powder. £3 from morrisons. Sprinkle
liberally on the air brick. They will be gone in three days.


Or perhaps more appropriately wasp nest destroyer powder.

1. Close all windows and doors and pets/children inside (they can get
seriously hacked off, the wasps that is)
2. Late afternoon in the sun when activity is high wallop large quantity
in through and around airbrick fairly smartish - saturation bombing
3. Retire indoors and keep door shut for an hour or so.

I've used the nest destroyer foam before successfully, but be prepared to
repeat a number of times if the nest is big.
Also may not be advisable if there is an easier route for the wasps to
escape through gaps between floorboards or similar inside your house.
I've also heard that the ant powder works well on wasps nests!
