I am going away for a week. Wasps have built a nest in the roof of the porch.
Bright idea...spray entrance to nest with fly and wasp killer, problem solved.
Err no have just done the deed, result many and I mean many very pissed off wasps trying to get home and looking for someone to blame. scared2: scared:

I did that once. The ones that didn't try to get me and exact revenge sort of crash landed (covered in poison) into next door's BBQ and cocktail jug redface:

lol: If it were sunny here I rather think that would happen, it's raining, some of them are now banging their heads on the window are they trying to get in? scared2:

Had a wasps nest in the loft. Left it alone. It went away, eventually.
There must be a life lesson there somehow. rubschin:

OK.
When ones partner is on the Wii balance board doing the balance test one should sit on the sofa behind them and gently apply a toe to the said board and wiggle it somewhat. This results in a remarkable amount of foul language and self doubt.
Further to this when said partner is on said board weighing themselves the same toe should be applied with somewhat greater force.
This is an official TG bright idea. happy088

Too late noooo:

We had a wasps nest in the wall of our house in Maidenhead. I sealed it up with a tube of bath seal! razz:
It is surprising how many wasps there are outside a nest at any one time! evil:

When there is a social function you wish to avoid, wait until your partner is getting dressed then touch the back of her head and say "I thought you had your roots done".

But getting back to wasps. The good news is that they do not use the same nest next year. Come the winter 99.9% of the wasps will die and the queen will hibernate somewhere else. It is at that point you should carefully remove and destroy the nest. After hibernation the Queen Wasp will start chewing wood and stuff from which she will create a new small nest somewhere, often close to the original. It will first become obvious when it is about the size of a ping pong ball. Fascinating looking thing and a wonder of nature. At that point destroy it and the Queen Wasp or you will have a whole nest full again within weeks.
See Wiki for confimration: The nests of some social wasps, such as hornets, are first constructed by the queen and reach about the size of a walnut before sterile female workers take over construction. The queen initially starts the nest by making a single layer or canopy and working outwards until she reaches the edges of the cavity. Beneath the canopy she constructs a stalk to which she can attach several cells; these cells are where the first eggs will be laid. The queen then continues to work outwards to the edges of the cavity after which she adds another tier. This process is repeated, each time adding a new tier until eventually enough female workers have been born and matured to take over construction of the nest leaving the queen to focus on reproduction. For this reason, the size of a nest is generally a good indicator of approximately how many female workers there are in the colony. Social wasp colonies often have populations exceeding several thousand female workers and at least one queen. Polistes and some related types of paper wasp do not construct their nests in tiers but rather in flat single combs.
Back on topic for once with sensible advice. It can't last ::)

Its expensive but a CO2 extinguisher works wonders apparently.
