Default Wasps Nest

I have noticed a lot of wasps around my house recently and today I went on a
hunt! I noticed wasps going in and out of a ground floor airbrick so
presumably that's where the nest is. I was giong to ring a 'wasp trouble'
man but then thought "how will he remove it?" Assuming he will not demolish
my wall or lift my living room floor up I presume he will treat the entrance
(airbrick) with something. Before I pay said man £50(?) to do this is there
any point in me buying these foam or powder destroyers that are available.
If I can do the same as the man would but at a fraction of the cost I will.
The activity of the wasps isn't causing us any problems but I would just
like rid of the little b**gers!!

John,
the only advice worth having is to get in a professional, DIY attempts
to destroy wasps or nests can be hardardous and ineffective. we
covered this last year in fact-

£50 is a reasonable cost to do the job quickly and finally.


Strange how something as harmless as a wasps nest can trigger the
fear/aggression response in the male of the species. On the odd occasion
where they're a nuisance I'd pay the £50 but, otherwise, find something
else to worry about.
